Fig. 49. and wood may exactly coincide at one point at least in both, as in the cross-section of cleft-grafting, Fig. 50. A useful implement for the rapid and perfect performance of cleft- grafting is the grafting chisel, here shown. In Saddle-Grafting, the stock is sloped off on each side, giving it the form of a wedge. Fig. SI, ay the graft is split in the middle, and each side thinned away with the knife, as in Fig. 51, i5, until it will closely fit when placed like a saddle upon it. The most perfect way to fit the graft is to make a long sloping cut from the outer edge or bark, by drawing the blade from heel to point, till it reaches the centre of the graft; and then another simi- lar cut completes the acute cavity for fitting the wedge of the stock,.
