There will be blackberries Burbank's, he lives at Santa Rosa Loganberries, Mammoth berries. But don't fool with strawberries. That's a whole occupation in itself. They're not vines, you know. I've examined the orchard. It's a good foundation. We'll settle the pruning and grafts later." "But Billy wanted three acres of the meadow," Saxon explained at the first chance. "What for?"

Tendons and blood vessels readily lend themselves to transplantation and will also be referred to later. Muscle and nerve, on the other hand, do not retain their vitality when severed from their surroundings and do not functionate as grafts except for their connective-tissue elements, which it goes without saying are more readily obtainable from other sources.

Bartlett, and placed on her head about two hours after the accident, but it did not stay in position. Then the head was covered twice by skin-grafts, but each time the grafts were lost; but the third time a successful grafting was performed and she was enabled to work after a period of two years.

Another thing I wish to say you can act upon it as you see fit it is simply the advice of an old man who has known his world. Don't subscribe to public charities; they're mostly grafts, and besides they have more of the Doane millions now than is good for them. And don't help the needy poor upon another man's advice; see your poor know your poor. And now, Drusilla Doane, good-by. Enjoy my million!

These bud variations, as they may be named, can be propagated by grafts, offsets, etc., and sometimes by seed. They occur rarely under nature, but are far from rare under culture.

The goat willow is a vigorous tree introduced from Europe, having large and rather broad and coarse leaves, dark green above and whitish underneath. It is taken as a "stock," upon which, at a convenient height, the skilled juggler with trees grafts a drooping or pendulous form known as the Kilmarnock willow, thus changing the habit of the tree so that it then "weeps" to the ground.

You don't think the man who owns these flats is in it for charity, do you? 'Single ladies, like me, have to give up. And then there are other little grafts that wouldn't interest you. What church do you come from anyway?" "You mentioned it a little while ago." "St. John's!" She leaned back against the piano and laughed unrestrainedly.

It seems now pretty well established that plants propagated by buds all partake of a common duration of life; and it is familiar to every one, what singular and numerous peculiarities are transmitted with certainty, by buds, layers, and grafts, which by seminal propagation never or only casually reappear. In the landscape of Patagonia, the guanaco replaces the gazelle, and the agouti the hare.

"I told the Boss to forget that letter. I know Fleckenstein. I know all his secrets just as I do about every other man's in the valley. I know their shames and their business grafts. In fact I know everything but the best side of 'em. I've been in the saloon business in this valley for twenty years, Mr. Dennis." "Ah!" said Uncle Denny. "I understand now!"

Only a small part of the top is removed the first year, and three or four years may be required to change the top all over, the old branches being removed as the new ones grow. In about three years, or four, the grafts should begin to bear, about as soon as strong three-year-old trees planted in the orchard.
