Elementary principles of agriculture Elementary principles of agriculture : a text book for the common schools . elementaryprinci02ferg Year: 1913 136 Elementary Principles of Agriculture with waxed cloth to prevent drying out. The two layers of cambium grow and unite, and the scion grows out into a vigorous shoot. Cleft-grafting is used in propagating 1 Fig. 81. Steps in propagating by graftage. A, B, and C, details of cleft graft; D, same for tongue graft. many kinds of plants, such as apples, pears, peaches, etc. If the graft is made below the ground on a rooted stock it is not necessary to wrap with waxed cloth. The moist soil, pressed firmly about the union, prevents drying out. 199. In Tongue Grafting, we make a sloping cut on both scion and stock. (Fig. SID.) The tongue of one is slipped into the cleft of the other, care being taken to have the cambium layers together, at least on one side. In piece-root grafting, as is usual with pears and apples, the graft is wrapped to secure the two pieces in an unmovable union until the callus growth has had time to unite. They may be prevented from drying out by storing in moist sand or sawdust. It is usual to make the grafts during the winter months and plant them in the nursery rows early in the spring. (Fig. 82.)
