side to 1)0 eaiigiit by the string used for tying on the 
l)ud. The waxed doth covering the top of the stnnii) 
should be i)ressed down tirinly before tying, and if 
the top of the stump is three-fourths of an inch across 
or more there slionld be two thicknesses of cloth put 
over it and tirinly i)ressed down. On these large 
stumiis two buds may be placed on opposite sides so 
as to increase chances of a ‘ ‘ take. ’ ’ If both buds live, 
one of the shoots may be removed later. In working 
over-grown nursery seedlings and stout wildings this 
has been found an excellent plan. AVith good work¬ 
manship and favorable weather conditions, excellent 
savings may be had, and the bud shoots make a beau¬ 
tiful upright growth, with the slightest crook at the 
l)oint of union. And, oddly enough, they grow 
straight without stakes to supi)ort them, even in this 
windy country. Buds i)ut on in Alarcli and April on 
nursery stocks easily make a salable tree with four 
to six feet of bud growth the same season. 
In summer work, the modified shield bud may be 
])eeled from the scion, but I think it well to cut them 
to beveled edges on the sides before removing from 
the scion. Tlie bark of the stock fits down over them 
more snugly when so treated and they seem to live 
better. But the lower ends should always be so 
trimmed as to remove the fleshy rim of bark at the 
lower end in order that the inner bark of the bud and 
the inner bark of the stock may be brought into con¬ 
tact. And the flai)s of bark folding down over the 
l)ud should always be pared down, so that the waxed 
wra])pers may lit it close and exclude those pestifer¬ 
ous little insects tliat get in under other forms of 
wra])per and destroy so many buds. Anotlier thing 
requiring eternal vigilance is to be sure that sap is 
flowing more freely in your stocks than in your bud- 
wood. 
In closing let me sav that several kinds of walnuts 
have Ijeen worked with the modified form of the 
shield bud, both iu spring and summer and savings 
have been as gratifying as in pecan work. xVnd those 
of my friends who have had trouble with persimmons 
of any kind have only to bud in spring, using tlie or¬ 
dinary form of the shield Inid and my waxed wrap¬ 
pers. The same process will get quick action from 
apple, pear, peach or plum when put on good-sized 
stocks.
