Fropagation by Grafting. 217 cambium of the thicker edge of the cioii forms a line with the cambium of the stock (Pigs. 113, 114, 115).

When an inch in thickness, two cions serted (Pig. Ill), to increase the cess. The elasticity of the stock ficient pressure to maintain very close contact between it and the cion; otherwise it should be tightly bound Mith cord or raffia (393). The cions should contain at least one bud beyond the end of the stock. The. Fig. 112. Grafting chisel for making tiie cleft in cleft>grafting.

C, cambium layer of stock; C, cambium layer of cion. The cambium layers of the outer edge of the cion should form a continuous line with that of the stock. The cion is made a little thinner at its inner edge to permit the pressure of the stock to be exerted at the outer edge. wedge-shaped cut is usually made about one inch long, and the cion should be inserted into the cleft as far as the length of the wedge, after which all the exposed wounded surfaces, including the distal end of the cion, should be coated with grafting-wax (387). 13.
