The cions used for grafting the different lengths and sizes of roots were taken from the same part of different shoots as nearly as we could get them. Those making the most even growth, 1st and 2d cut of root, and the 2d cut of cions; 2d 6-inch roots, 1st cut of roots; 3d roots, 6 times larger than cions. AVERAGES, PER CENT. AND GROWTH. P e r cent.
