Top Grafts in Place 



In this case u. single relatively large cion has been 



placed at the end of each stock branch, so that the new head 



will have approximately the Jorm of the original tree. Many orchard 



fruits do better on foreign roots, and this method of top grafting 



is a familiar horticultural procedure. In Mr. 



Burbank's orchards the grafted cions 



are usually new varieties 



to be tested.
