HINTS ON BUDDING. 
The requisites for success in budding have 
been summed up by Mr. Thomas, and other 
writers on the subject, as five in number. We 
gather from different authorities : 
1. A thrifty, rapidly growing stock, so that 
the bark will pee! very freely and cleanly 
from the wood. 
2. A proper time, not too early, when there 
is little cambium or mucilaginous cement be¬ 
tween the bark and the wood,—nor too late 
when the bark will not peel freely nor the 
subsequent growth sufficiently cement the bud 
to the stock. 
3. The buds must be sufficiently mature— 
taken from shoots which have completed their 
growth for the season, which is shown by the 
formation of terminal buds. 
4. A keen, flat knife, for shaving the bud, 
that it may lie close in contact upon the wood 
of the stock. 
5. The application of a ligature with mod¬ 
erate pressure, causing the bud to fit the stock 
closely. 
The operation of budding is perfor med as 
follows. An incision is made lengthwise 
through the bark of the stock, and a small 
ing and the insertion made as shown in the ; 
in the annexed cut, (fig. 8,) , 
except that it necomes ne_ j§! 1 J 
cessary to apply the whole I|||'£\ jf /n 
of the ligature below the bud.

buds is found in their supe- jj!| W S jj I

cut at right angles at the top, the whole some¬ 
what resembling th3 letter T, (fig. 1.) A bud 
is then taken from a shoot of the present 
year’s growth, by shaving off the bark an inch 
or an inch and a half in length, with a small 
part of the wood directly beneath the bud, 
(fig. 2.) The edges of the bark at the incis¬ 
ion of the stock are then raised a little, (fig. 
3.) and the bud pushed downward under the 
bark, (fig. 4.) A bandage of bass, corn-husk 
or other substance is wrapped around, cover¬ 
ing all parts but the bud, (fig. 5.) The press¬ 
ing should be just sufficient to keep the in¬ 
serted portion closely to the stock, but not 
such aa to bruise or crush the bark. 
The operation of budding is one which 
must be performed with neatness and despatch. 
If the bud be bruised ever so slightly, or the 
bark of the stock be injured or the wood un¬ 
der it bruised, the buds will fail to grow.— 
The ligature shou’d be applied immediately, 
and so as to exclude the air, or the union will

The shoots containing the buds should be 
cut when so mature as to be rather firm and 
hard in texture, and are in the best condition 
after the terminal bud has formed. The 
leaves must be immediately cut off, as they 
rapidly exhale the moisture from the shoot; 
about one-quarter of an inch of the leaves 
should remain to serve as handles for the buds 
while inserting them, (fig. 6) When by 
growth the bandage cuts into the stock, usual¬ 
ly ten days or three weeks, it must be removed. 
The bud remains dormant until the following 
spring, when the stock is cut off two mches 
inches or more above it. If cut close the end 
of the stock becomes too dry, and the bud 
often perishes. All other buds must be then 
removed, and all the vigor of the stock or 
branch thrown into the imioculated bud, which 
immediately commences a rapid growth, fre¬ 
quently making from three to five feet the first 
season. 
To secure a straight and erect growth, the 
new shoot, when a lew inches long, is tied to 
the remaining stump of the stock, (fig. 7.)— 
By another month, no further support will be 
needed, and the stump may be wholly cut 
away, and the wound allowed to heal by the 
rapid tormation of new wood. 
The terminal buds are sometimes used to 
advantage where buds of the variety required 
are scarce ; iu this case the wood is cut slop-
