JiY GRAFTING 99 knife; tlieii cut tlic cioii on one side, about an inch and a half long, making a shoulder at the top; then raise the bark from the stock with the handle of a budding-knife, and insert the cion between the bark and wood; ap- ply the composition the same as in the others, all over the cut part. Two oi- throe cions may be put in each. The principal objection to this mode is that the grafts, if they grow rapidly, are apt to be blown ofi' before they have united strongly to the stock. The great points to observe always, are—to have sharp in- struments, that will make smooth, clean cuts; to have placed in perfect contact the inner barks of cion and stock; to have the whole cut surface and every portion of the spht perfectly covered with the com- position, and to exclude air and water. The cion should always be cut close to a bud at the point {A, fig. 76), and have a bud at the shoulder, or [)oint of union with the stock {A, fig. 78). In grafting the heads of Inrge trees, it is not convenient to use the composition in a melted state, to be put on with the brush, and the large cut surfaces , n 1 J .,, ^T Fig. 79, the stock cut horizontnllr cannot well be covered with the , J„,, ^, ^. Fi„ go, the samcs cloth ; it is, therefore, better to with two cions inserted, use the composition in such a state that it can be put on with the hands. A very quantity of brick-dust may be advantageously mixed with it when intended for this purpose, to prevent its being melted by the sun». 79. 80.
