Cutting Stock for Top Graft 



A tree may be made over by culling off its entire top, 

 and grafting cions to form a new head. Mr. Burbank recom- 

 mends that the cut edges be smoothly trimmed for this and for all other 

 grafts. The additional time and effort required to smooth 

 the cut surfaces with a knife will be amply repaid 

 by the better results attained.
