effect on the orchard tree. What is the actual effect of 
stock on scion no one can tell, but undoubtedly the stock 
does influence the character of growth of the tree and the 
development of the root system if nothing else. 
A very striking example of the effect of stock on scion 
is shown in the work of Prof. Hatton, an English experi¬ 
menter who has worked with Paradise stocks. He has 
taken the same bud stock, placed one bud on one strain 
of Paradise and produced a small dwarf tree; he has 
taken another bud and placed on a second strain and se¬ 
cured a medium sized tree; he has taken another bud and 
placed on a third strain and secured a tree as large as a 
standard orchard tree. Now he is working with a stock 
which is propagated vegetatively. Think how much 
greater chance for variation there is in the case of seed¬ 
ling stocks where each seedling represents, theoretically 
at least, a distinct variety. For this reason we are in¬ 
tensely interested in the possibility of vegetatively prop¬ 
agating root stocks and also varieties as well. 
The propagation of apples by hardwood cuttings has 
been undertaken a number of times. Probably the most 
extensive work of this kind has been that of Prof. Shaw

The difficulty with this method of propagation has been 
the relatively small number of cuttings which root. Prop¬ 
agation of certain varieties of pears by hardwood cul- 
tings was formerly practiced in the South, but was never 
undertaken elsewhere. Direct propagation of certain 
plum varieties by layering has been demonstrated to be 
commercially practicable.
