In either method several scions may be grafted on the same stock—round the top. CLEFT-GRAFTING. In cleft-grafting, the stock is split for a short distance by means of a sharp axe, held in the desired position and driven in by a mallet. When the axe is withdrawn, a chisel is in- serted in the middle of the oleft to force it open and keep it so. A scion, cut wedge-shaped below (us in whip-grafting>, is then fitted into each end of tho cleft. When the rhisel is removed, the two edges of Iho cleft closo, and hold the scion so firmly that it is seldom necoasary to liind 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 original Davidson, Hugh Coleman.
