mode Is best? I tried whip and cleft sraftlnK on a 
few last spring l)nt none strew. Can It be done this 
way, or Is buddlnst better and If so, whei Is the time? 
SUBSCRIBER. 
Axs.—Buddlqet will probably not succeed on so 
larste trees. Graftlne Is the method to be employed, 
and this must be done early before the buds beetlnto 
swell. Unless the stocks are of stood size, whip straft- 
Inst would probably be best. But with any method 
the work must be done thoroughly and early. 
VARIOUS Queries.— 1 How many pieces of aspar- 
astus are In a bunch, or Is It sold by welstht? 2. Why 
are the Maine Bose and Hebron potatoes always 
the first on the list In your market reports? 3. How 
was that wind mill put on the top of that pole? 4. 
Will you forward sample copy of American Garden- 
lUK? ROSE BANK. 
ANS.—1. It depends on the size. The bunches are 
of a uniform size, and the lars;er the stalks, the 
smaller the number required. It Is not sold by 
weight here, but Is In some markets, and In some 
without bunching. 2. We don’t know. Happened so, 
we suppose. Something must be first. 3 Probably 
the frame was fastened to the pole before the latter 
was raised, and the wheel and vane drawn up with a 
pulley and fastened on afterward. 4. We would have 
forwarded your name to the publisher of American 
Gardening, and he would have sent sample copy, 
but as no post-office address was given, we couldn’t 
tell him where to send It. He will gladly forward 
samples. _
