Fruit-culture. GRAFTING OLD TKEES. 125 most unsightly mode of trimming is often adapted when a removal of the top by grafting is intended. Grafting new tops on old trees. It often happens that fruit on large trees is worthless, and it becomes an import- ant object to change the top by grafting or budding it with some better variety. In this case, instead of cutting off large branches and grafting them at once, it is better to prune, the top in part, as shown by fig. 103, which will cause an /emission of vigorous shoots.— These are then budded or grafted with ease and success. And, as the grafts gradually extend by growth, the remainder of the top may, by successive excisions, be entirely removed. Where trees are not too old, and the ground is kept cultivated, good sized trees are thus obtained much sooner lg' than by setting out young ones. To give a well shaped head to such newly formed trees, and to prevent the branches from shooting upwards in a close body near the centre of the tree, the old horizontal boughs should be allowed to extend to a distance in each direction, while the upright ones should be lopped. This is distinctly exhibited in fig 103. The following judicious mode of renewing the old tops of trees formerly regarded as worthless, is given by George Olmsted, of Hartford, Ct., in the Horticulturist:— "These trees I commenced grafting six years ago last spring. / began on the top, and grafted one-third of the tree each year. It therefore required three years to complete the entire heads of the trees. " I like this method better than any I have ever tried for grafting large trees, as it gives the grafts a good opportuni- ty to get well started. Cutting off and grafting the top first, gives the grafts there

The Strawberry Leaf-roller {Phoxofteris compfana) is in many localities the most injurious insect pest of the straw- berry. A small greenish or brownish caterpillar folds the leaflets of the strawberry by bringing the upper surfaces to- gether and fastening them by silken cords (Fig. 276"). In this retreat the insect spends its whole larval life, feeding upon the leaf, and ultimately causing it to turn brown and shrivel u

An important advantage of thus pruning the peach will be the thinning-out of the fruit-buds; and while the tree will bear perhaps only one-third or one-quarter the number of speci- mens, they will be so much larger as to give as many bush- els, while the quality will be incomparably superior. An objection is made that too much labor is required for this opera
