A Member: You want one bud on this?
Mr. Jones: We generally have two buds.
A Member: Do you use the same method on the Persian walnut?
Mr. Jones: Yes sir; we got a little stingy one year and cut these all to one bud and hardly got any out of them. You've got to have wood enough to hold the scions dormant; of course there may be one or more buds on the scion.
The Chairman: And got to have food enough in them.
Mr. Jones: Yes sir. Col. Sober grafts chestnuts that way, but I have never been able to graft pecans and walnuts with very short scions.
The Chairman: I have caught chestnuts with one bud, but most of the nut trees want more food and you've got to have a lot in the scion.
Prof. Smith: Have you used that with pecans in the North?
Mr. Jones: Yes sir, this will be our method of propagation.
After Mr. Jones had given further illustrations of the process of grafting, the convention adjourned.
