The results of the inoculation: as indi-

The latter bore the appearance of rapid

new miniature branches sprouting from

ance generally. One particularly no'ice
able feature was the soundness of the
trees at the point where the inoculation
had been performed. It was also found
that the compound. which is prepared in
