Plate VI. 



First Year-s Growth from Five Inserted Buds. 



The ill ustration shows how much cutting wood may be produced in a single year from a budded 

 plant. By using all this new growth for rebudding, the selected variety could be propa- 

 gated on a still larger scale. Photographed August 3, when the plant was 32 inches high. 

 After that date it made much further growth and a correspondingly larger amount of wood 

 for cuttings.
