The graft shouldbe wrapped with waxed string, whichis made by soaking a ball of No. 18knitting cotton in grafting wax. Thismethod isemployed especially uponroots of seedling fruits and upon themore slender twigs of trees. Saddle grafting. In this casethat part of the stock on which thecion is to be placed is cut to a wedgeshape. A neatly made notch is cutin the bottom part of the wood ofthe cion to fit closely over the wedge-shaped part of the stock. Tie thestock firmly with waxed string. Thismethod is used in grafting Fig. 5-Whip or Tongue GraftingIn grafting the stock and cionmust be firmly bound around withbroad raffia or other ligature. Theabove drawing is intended to showhow to fix the graft, but the bindingmust cover the union thoroughlyto exclude the air. Crown grafting is performed by heading back a large-sizedstock, making an incision in the bark from the severed part down-ward. Raise the bark on each side of the perpendicular cut, as inbudding; make a slanting cut on one side of the cion, and insertbeneath the bark; bind together and cover with grafting wax. Veneer grafting is principally practiced on coniferous plantsand Rhododendrons. It consists of making a cross cut through thebark and slightly into the wood. A short distance above this crosscut begin with a slanting cut downward until the first cut is reached;shape the cion so that it fits exactly; t
