(i) Root-grafting.— For this purpose the roots of seedlings— most commonly, apples—from one to two years old should be used as stocks. The work should be done at least six or eight weeks before the time of planting. [a] In whole-root grafting, the entire primary root is used, while in {b) piece-root grafting, pieces of the primary root, three or four inches long, are used. Thus, one primary root may furnish material for two or three grafts. Grafting is divided, with refer- ence to the nietJiod of insertion of the scion into the stock, into (i) tongue or whip grafting, and (2) cleft-grafting. The tongue or whip graft is used for both piece and grafting. Directions for root-grafting : {a) Hold the stock or scion wliich is to be cut in the left hand, with the end supported by the index FIG. 74.—ONE- YEAR-OLD PIECE- ROOT GRAPT.
