Whip Grafting is a modification of splice, and differs only in splitting or tongueing the stock and-scion midway on the . sloping cut of each as shown in the engraving, and thus locking them together; it also gives a more ex- tended surface of the cambium or growing tissues. Cleft Grafting is pre- ferred when the stock is much larger than the scion, as in renewing the tops of orchard trees. The stock, in this case, is cut square across, then split, and the scions, having been shaved down to a wedge shape, are inserted as shown in the cut. Suc- cess depends on having the inner bark of the stock and scion contiguous. In Crown or Side Grafting; the stock is cutWhii,Gr"fti"«- square across as in cleft grafting, a slit is made through the bark and the scion, shaved down on one side only, and having a shoulder to rest on the cut surface of the stock, is inserted between the bark and wood similar to the inserting of a bud. The same operation may be performed without cutting off the top of the stock by cutting a notch transversely, and a downward slit from this, then inserting the scion and tying it like a bud. Another plan of side grafting is to plunge a knife at an angle, downward through the bark, and into the wood of the stock. The scion is inserted into this puncture. The cut surfaces must be covered with grafting-wax to protect them from drying winds or excess of moist- ure, and to hasten the cellular formation by the exclusion of air. In Saddle Grafting the operation of cleft- grafting is reversed, the stock being shaved to a wedge- saddie Grafting snape) an(} the scion split and pressed over Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the origina
