In inserting the scion the cam- binm layer on the thicker side of the wedge should be in contact with the cambinm layer of the stock (Fig. 20 [3]). When the point of the grafting iron is removed the cleft closes np and holds the scion in place. It is then firm-ly wrapped with grafting cord or cloth; the entire union is then covered with oraftino- wax. It is not necessary to wrap the union if the pressure of the stock is sufficient to hold the scion in place. Saddle-grafting. ââ Saddle-grafting is practiced with a few plants. It consists in cutting the upper end of the stock wedge-shape (Fig. 21 [1]). The lower end of the scion is cut off squarely and a cleft made into this lower end (Fig 21 [2]). The scion is then pushed onto the stock so that the wedge of the stock fits into the cleft of the scion (Fig. 21 [3]). The cambium layers should be in contact. The union is wrapped with grafting cord, and covered with gTafting wax. Side-grafting.âSide-gTafting is a very simple method of grafting. It is some- times used with the plum and a few other.
