was not a success. 
Those who wish to increase any good va- 
riety that they may possess, can do so rap- 
idly by taking pieces of smooth root, about 
three inches long, and inserting into grafts 
of two eyes, or if long jointed a one-eved 
piece will answer. The piece of root is ta- 
pered by a sharp slanting cut on one side 
forming a wedge-like end which is then in- 
serted into a cleft made at the end and on 
one side of the graft. 
Tie well with waxed thread and lay the 
grafts in boxes like apple grafts in sand and 
some fine soil. Kept damp in a warm 
room they will start, and if the boxes be 
placed in a hot bed for a few weeks just be- 
fore setting out it will give them a great 
lift.

made a growth of about one inch or a little 
more, by which time it will be found that 
the graft has calloused and the root has sent

from cuttings. The grait w ill emit roots 
much better in this way than if cleft graft-

bottom no larger than it was v\ hen put in

graft and make large roots. 
Those who do their grape pruning in the 
spring should do it early the comingseason, 
or they will bleed severely, as even thing 
is considerably in advance of the ordinary 
season. Here Spireas and Pvrus Japonicas

everything is covered in half an inch of ice.

destroy the fruit buds now so far advanced.
