To facilitate the wrappingof the wax plasters, one side and theupper point of the stock are pared off with a knife, before thetwo are joined, as shown by the dotted line. This is a goodmode of grafting any stocks not over three-fourths of an inchin diameter, in the nursery row. Fig. 47 shows a stock cut off for cleft-grafting, with the upright cleft separated by the grafting-chisel ready for the graft; Fig. 48, the graft cut wedge-form to fit it; Fig. 49, the graft in its place, and Fig. 50 shows a cross-section illus- 3.

Whip-grafting is particularly applicable to small stocks, orwhere the graft and stock are nearly of equal size; and cleft-grafting to stocks considerably larger than the graft.
