SATSUMA PLUM STOCK. 
Answering a query in Rural New Yorker, Professor Van 
Deman says: 
The Marianna plum is very generally used as a stock for the plum. 
The stocks are grown in the South from the cuttings, as they root there 
very rapidly, and will not do so in the North. The seeds of the Myro- 
bolan (which is a species of plum from Europe, and of which the 
Marianna is a variety) are also used to grow for plum stocks. I have 
lately heard that the Satsuma plum, which is one of the Japan varie¬ 
ties, makes a most excellent stock for the plum and peach, too. If 
this is true, and it will grow from cuttings, then we have a very valu¬ 
able thing that we did not before suppose we had. I do not see why 
the seedlings of any of the Japan plums might not be good for plum, 
and perhaps, peach stocks, too The trouble would be to get the seeds 
out of the fruit without losing the pulp; for they are nearly all clings, 
except Ogcn. Cherry stocks must be of two kinds. The sour cherries 
should be budded on Mahaleb seedlings. The Hearts and other rank 
growing kinds of the sweet class should be worked on Mazzard stocks. 
This is necessary because of the diverse natures of the two classes. 
The stock and scion or bud must be reasonably congenial if the best 
results are to follow.
