In order to understand thismethod, let us explain it a little in detail. Having chosen your stock of the proper size, cut it off at the pointwhere, a, it appears best to fix the graft. If the stock is quite small,it may be within three or four inches of the ground. Then, with avery sharp hnife^ make a smooth cut upwards, 6, about two inches inlength. Next make a slit from the top of this cut about one-fourth ofthe way downwards, c, taking out a thin tongue of wood. Cut the scionfour or five inches long, or so as to have three buds; then shape thelower end with a single smooth sloping cut, e, about the same length asthat on the stock, and make the tongue upward, f to fit in the down-ward slit of the stock. Now apply the scion accurately to the stock,making the inner hark of the scion fit exactly the inner hark of th
