Papaya, Grafted. By D. Fairchild and E. Simmonds (U.S.A. 

 Dep. Agr., Bull. 119, 1913, pp. 3-13; 4 figs.). — It is a mistake to 

 grow the Papaya from seed ; it should be grafted and treated as an 

 annual. To obtain shoots for grafting, decapitate a tree in fruit. 

 Three or four weeks later a large number of shoots are produced. 

 When a few inches long and the diameter of a lead pencil, each is cut 

 to a wedge point and inserted in a cleft in a young seedling papaya 

 plant which has been cut down to six inches and split with a sharp 

 knife. The stock is tied with soft twine and shaded for a few days. 

 On the seventh day the twine is removed. 



In Florida plants grafted in spring come into bearing in November 

 or December and continue bearing in the following spring or summer, 

 and can be left to bear fruit in the following autumn. The Papaya 

 is a gross feeder, but is indifferent to soil. — S. E. W.

 New York, Bull. 364). — The earhest yellow peach of good quahty.
