This is an excellentmethod for grafting on pieces of roots ofmany kinds of ligneous as well as tuberous-rooted The one great object in the simple actof grafting is to join a portion of oneplant to that of another, and in such amanner that they shall unite ana oecomeas one, therefore the more simple the pro-cess, the more readily and successfully willit be performed. HERBACEOUS GRAFTING. Grafting ligneous or other plants whilein a state of active growth is usually term-ed Herbaceous grafting. The manner ofuniting the cion to the stock is very simi-lar, and in many instances the same asgrafting with ripe wood. In graftingplants that are in a dormant state, or nearlyso, it made but little difference whether bothstock and cicn were in the same conditionof forwardness; we usually, however, preferto have the cion more backward than thestock; but in herbaceous grafting it isquite necessary that they should be verynearly equal. The union between the stock and cion is to be made by the grow-ing process, which is active in both, at thetime the operation is performed. It is notto be supposed that a growi
