The wound is tied and covered with wax, as be- fore. The object of this grafting is to secure immediate fruitage. Another kind of side*grafting con- sists in plunging a dirk-shaped knife directly through the tree, in- clining the point downward, into this opening the graft is inserted; the object being to establish a limb on a naked portion of the trunk. Saddle Grafting is used only with stocks of small size; it is per- formed by making a double slope upon the stock, and by opening a corresponding space in the graft, by cutting two slopes in the scion, from below upwards, so that they shall meet in the centre, as seen in fig. 14. Some merely split the scion. Grafting by Approach, or as it is generally termed, inarching^ is often practiced where there is difficulty in making the scion unite with the stock; it is not often needed in the culture of our orchard fruits, but may be.
