This mode of propagation is performed by five different methods, which will be found described under their respective heads, viz: WHIP-GRAPTINO. This operation is performed in March and April, by first cutting off the top of the stock at the desired height. Enter the knife at a smooth place, about three inches below the top, and cut upwards at an acute angle, thereby shaping the stock to a wedge-like form. Having the scion prepared, from four to five inches in length, slope the bottom so as to fit the stock as near as possible, that the inner rinds of both may correspond, especially on the outer side and bot- tom, as shown in fig. 7. Hold the graft carefully in its position, Fife. and secure it with matting, twist, or cotton thread, covering the bandage with tempered clay or grafting-wax. The union is formed by the rind or sap, which is directly between the bark and wood,.
