Would it be practical to take the tops of these trees and graft on one-year seedlings and get the same results as from the trees I bought? Will they bear just as good, or is it necessary to take the scions from old bearing trees? They will bear exactly the same fruit as the young trees will, but you cannot tell how good that will be until you get the fruit.
"No, gentlemen, our scions of the nobility do not reason thus. The lawyer, who had taken up the matter purely out of friendship to the young man, and almost against his will, invoked every consideration of justice, delicacy, honour, and even plain figures; in vain, the ex-patient of the Swiss lunatic asylum was inflexible.
The sons and daughters of Seattle and Tacoma, the scions of old families running in an unbroken line clear back to 1880, were amiable to poor outsiders from the Yakima valley and the new claims of Idaho, but they did not often invite them to their homes on the two hills and the Boulevard.
Consequently, I was able, on reaching home, to meet Aunt Carola with some sort of countenance, and to assure her that I expected presently to be furnished with authentic and valuable particulars. I now learned that the Selected Salic Scions had greatly increased in numbers during my short absence.
He was accompanied by his lovely daughter, the lady Rosamund, clad in beautiful apparel under her cloak of fur, who rode at his right hand on that same horse which had swum Death Creek. Next appeared the brethren, modestly arrayed as simple gentlemen, followed each of them by his squire, scions of the noble houses of Salcote and of Dengie.
The Greeks understood that. Nay, as the colony makes progress, as its principal town rises into the dignity of a capital, a polls that needs a polity, I sometimes think it might be wise to go still further, and not only transplant to it a high standard of civilization, but draw it more closely into connection with the parent state, and render the passage of spare intellect, education, and civility, to and fro, more facile, by drafting off thither the spare scions of royalty itself.
Kilmer Duelma was gone also snapped up an acquisition on the part of one of those families who did not now receive her. However, in the drawing-rooms where she still appeared and what were they but marriage markets? one or two affairs did spring up tentative approachments on the part of scions of wealth. They were destined to prove abortive.
I have a mixed orchard, mostly Gravensteins, and I want to graft all the other trees into a Gravenstein top if I can do so and at the same time get the early Gravenstein bloom and the fruit would be as satisfactory as though on other roots. The new tree grown from the grafts will behave just like the tree from which the scions were taken if similarly thrifty. Places for Apples.
The advantage of scions from bearing trees is that you know exactly what you will get, for, presumably, you have seen and approved it. Late Pruning. Will I do injury to my peach trees if I delay pruning until the last of February, or until the sap begins to run and the buds to swell?
And what is this which hangs over into the road, some fifteen feet in height long, bare, curving sticks, carrying each at its end a flat blaze of scarlet? What but the Poinsettia, paltry scions of which, like the Dracaena, adorn our hothouses and dinner-tables.
