BUD SELECTION.
ADVANTAGES OF SYSTEM.
Strong arguments in support of bud selection were given by Mr. James Boyd in the course of some remarks at a meeting of the Canterbury Fruitgrowers' Association. Mr. Boyd said , that in California no nurseryman would offer for sale any line of trees unless it had a pedigree behind it. Bud wood propagated from specially selected bees had revolutionised the citrus fruit business, and citrus orchards that had been unprofitable had been made payable propositions simply through scientific bud "selection work. The necessity for bnd selection had been proved to be as great in respect of stone and pip fruit. . Referring*to what has been done in the Roxburgh district in the matter of bud selection, Mr, Boyd styd that he was glad that New Zealand was Waking up, and was taking definite»action in this important matter. , ,
