Having the cions, implements, and composition in readiness, the work is performed as follows: Whip-Grafting on the Root.—For this purpose, seed- ling stocks are generally used, one or two years old, varying from one-fourth to three- eighths of an inch in diameter. The graft is always made at the collar, and, therefore, the stems of the plants are cut off at that point; the small tap-roots and any cumbrous fibres are removed, leaving them about four inches in length (fig. 73); they are then washed clean, and are ready for the opera- tion. The grafter then makes a smooth, even, sloping cut, an inch long, upwards, on the collar of the root, A / and in the center of this cut he makes a slit or tongue, -Z?, downwards.
