Excerpt from The New England Farmer, and Horticultural Register, Vol. 22: Containing Essays, Original and Selected, Relating to Agriculture and Domestic Economy, With the Prices of Country Produce; July, 1843-June, 1844 It is indispensable that the bud to be inserted should be fully formed or ripe. After the incision of the stock, great care must be taken in raising the bark, that the cambium be not scraped or ia jured. The cambium is that soft portion between the wood and the bark destined to give support to the descending fibres of the buds, which fibres sub sequently become embedded in it. In budding, therefore, the bark must be very carefully lifted up, and not forced from the wood with a bone or metal blade as is too often done.
