by starting the knife half an inch below 

 the bud, cutting under and to about the 

 same distance above the bud. This gives 

 a long bud, which is especially desirable 

 in our dry climate. In cutting under the 

 bud, the knife should be run deep enough 

 to leave a small shield of wood. Figure 

 7 will show the various steps in the 

 process of shield budding. A simpler 

 method of lifting the bud, at least for the 

 beginner, is to start the knife as before 

 and cut sharply into the wood to about 

 one-third the diameter of the stick and 

 then upward under the bud, making a 

 tongue about an inch long. The knife 

 is then run across the tongue half an 

 inch above the bud, cutting through and 

 lifting the, bark at this point. The bud 

 is then grasped between the thumb and 

 first finger and lifted, leaving the wood 

 on the stick, as shown in the same figure. 

 While the removal of the wood from 

 under the bud is no particular advantage, 

 the method is simpler and gives the inex- 

 perienced budder a larger per cent of 

 good buds. The writer has lifted thou- 

 sands of buds in this manner with the 

 best of success. It is difficult to cut buds 

 in this way from some varieties of cherry 

 and plum trees with thin bark, but it 

 works well on the apple, pear, peach, 

 apricot and the heavy-barked plum. The 

 bud is then slipped into place, as shown 

 in the figure, and well wrapped with 

 raffia or soft wrapping twine. About 

 four wraps below and three above, so 

 spaced as to close the whole opening, is 

 sufficient. In wrapping, the common 

 practice is to start below, and by cross- 

 ing over the first end and running the 

 last end under, the bud is wrapped with- 

 out a knot. The tying material is usually 

 cut in the desired lengths beforehand, 

 and if raffia is used, it should be kept 

 moist, as it ties better. 



If on healthy young wood, the buds 

 will unite within ten days or two weeks. 

 Then the wrapping should be cut by
