When A W'alnut Marrie
A Walnut
Had a letter from up in l.ake
County a while back. Lost it.
Hope the writer of that letter
sees this. His question was:
"How do I go about working
English walnuts on to black
walnut rootstock?"
The usual situation fiuds a
vigorons black walnut that has
grown to some size and the
owner decides he might just as
well be harvesting the more
deMrable type.
The time for this operation is
just before growth starts in the
spring. The most satisfactory
method is known as cleft graft-
ing. The trunk, if the tree is
reasonably small, is sawed off
and split through "the center.
The English wahnlt scions
should be about ½ inch in diam-
eter, of firm wood, from the pre-
vious season's growth, with at
least two good buds.
Spread the split trunk open
with " a small wooden wedge.
smooth the surfaces with a sharp
knife. Taper the lower end of
the scion to accurately fit the
split in the rootstock. Between
the bark and the wood of both
scion and rootstock is the point
at. which the union takes place.
Set your scions with these lines
together. Loosen the wedge just
enough to hold the scions firndy.
Cover every cut, sawed or split
area with a grafting compound
and protect the entire job with
a large manilla bag.
In a large tree use" several
small limbs rather than the
main trunk---the most satisfac-
tory size is about three or four
inches.

and bark meet, mpst match.

Newly set-out shrubs require
special attention the first year.
These shrubs should have the
soil cultivated at least two inches
deep in a two-foot circle about
each plant.
The cultivation will get rid of
the weeds and grass which, if
allowed to remain, will rob the
soil of the moisture and plant
nutrients necessary for the well-
being of the plants.
Do not fertilize until late sum-
mer. To do so now {aay over-
stimulate the plants. It is as-
sumed that the soil is thoroughly
prepared in advance of planting,
thus providng sufficient food for
the summer's growth.
Newly set.up shrubs, and trees
too, should be watered enough
during July and August, to keep
