Apples, conctnued 
How our apple trees are propagated. Our apple trees are all two and three years 
old, grafted by the best approved method, with the end in view to produce the tree 
best adapted to withstand the rigors of this climate. They are grafted upon roots 
produced from the seed of the hardiest varieties grown in northern Vermont; we know 
these to be much hardier than the ordinary commercial seedlings produced from tlie 
seed of the French crab. As we use a long scion and plant the grafts very deep in 
nursery, leaving only the top bud above the surface, there is scarcely a tree to be found 
at digging time that has not roots of its own above the point of union of scion and 
root. Such trees will become entirely independent of the seedling root upon which 
they were grafted.
