Abstract
THE Madeira agriculturist will be glad of any enlightenment on a devitalising influence frequently experienced in grafting a vigorous wild peach or nectarine seedling with a scion from a cultivated example. The wild seedling germinates from any chance seedstone thrown upon our terraces and develops rapidly into a sturdy tree, almost evergreen in character, crowded in the late autumn with a wealth of fascinating flower before the deciduous annual foliage has left the branches bare, and yielding from early spring onwards an overwhelming crop of disappointing fruit.
