tu Hi- mm,
Many Of the most successful orange
h.alders now dispense with the wuxed
t-i'. ips nf elutli for wrapping up the buds.
Tltoy depend out)rely on Wrapping llieni
tight with twine, pressing the hints su
close lo (ho stocks tliat no rainwater
can gel in behind Ibcm. The bud issli]
pt il up in the X cut, the twine is slatted
a: the bottom of the bud, being looped
over itself, wound very tight und close
until the wound is wholly closed, then
a uash is iiindu in the bark an iiii Ii oif
two above Ilm bud, ami tin-end nt the
twine is caught in tin- ;:ash. making
lying niiiicci swary.
Nothing but the best buds should ho

si/.?? iif a lead pencil. Sec that thooy s
i 1 buds are full ami plump, as they will
ill ways f.ut i nt good, strong canes of
shoots. Ii immature buds uro used, they
ure sure tu remain dor man I a long tiino,
ami in many instances can never be tis
t'ftcd into growth.
Trim the stock six or eie),t inencfl
above thr ground, so thai the buds can
be inserted as low as passible. With a
budding knife make a cat in the bark

Of the stem permits inure readily than
it does shoviug it dowii, No wood nerd
be removed from the bud shield if it is
wrapped tight enough to force the shield
to conform in the curve of the stock.
if foi fail budding, I ho twiuocan re?
main on for two or three weeks befd u

remain untouched until the followiug
spring, when it is cut down to within
four or six inches i f the bud, tin- left
