Different nurserymen cut the cions for root-grafts from two to six inches long. In climates subject to drought in summer and severe freezing in winter, the longer cions. Fig. 111.

Root-grafts should be stored until time for planting out, as directed for cions (386). 392. Cleft-Grafting is generally employed when the stock is considerably thicker than the cion. The cut-off end of the stock is split across its center, with a grafting- chisel (Fig. 112), and the proximal end of the cion (116), which is cut wedge-shaped and a little thicker on one edge than the other, is so inserted into the cleft that the.
