A, B and C show how it is done. Splice grafting is very simple. It is like whip grafting, minus the mortising. The two diagonally cut ends are fitted together ("spliced") and then held in place by a waxed tie. Top grafting means, simply, the inserting of scions (by any desired method) in the branches of trees. Many a worthless tree has thus been changed into a desirable variety. By using enough scions it is possible to make an entire new top on almost any tree. See Fig. II, and study the idea shown there. It is not best to cut away too much of the old tree at once ; therefore, a few secondary branches are left, and these, after the scions are thriftily growing, can gradually be cut away the following season. Whip grafting, also called "tongue grafting" (see Fig. Ill), consists of an exact "dovetailing" of scion into stock. Nurserymen use this method in special cases, and often in root grafting. The Art of Budding.—This consists in taking a bud from one tree and insert- ing it under the bark of some other tree, says Farm Journal. The union of the two, F,G'IU the bud and the stock, takes place at the crafting. FIG. II MAKING A NEW TOP.
