I/O NATURE STUDY AND LIFE Apples of all kinds are nearly enough related to inter- graft, so that we might have as many different kinds of apples on one tree as the tree has branches; and this makes not only an interesting tree, but a most serviceable one where a child has no room for more. For grafting we need a very sharp knife, cloth bands or rafifia to tie with, and grafting wax.^ The stock is the stem, into which we set the graft. This we already have in the little yearling apple tree. The scio7i is the shoot, from which we wish to prepare our graft.
