Fig. 1. —A New Zealand grapefruit tree budded on to a sweet orange tree when 9 years old. The limbs on the left are 3 years from the bud; those on the right are 2 years from budding. The shield method of budding was employed in February and buds inserted into the limbs 2 to 3ft. from ground level. Fig. 2. type of growth into
which the bud was inserted. Fig. 3.A Washington navel sweet orange tree 2½ years after being budded on to a Lue Gim Gong orange, which was then 4 years of age. Fig. 4.—A Genoa lemon grafted onto a sweet orange tree
about 7 years previously, when the sweet orange tree was about 10 years old. The graft unions can be seen above the white lines on the tree trunks. This grafting was done in the spring, only half of the tree being headed back and crown grafts inserted. The following season the balance of the tree was treated in a similar manner.
