A very neat mode of grafting, called by the French the *'Bertemboise graft," is described and figured by M. Breuil. Cut the crown of the stock at a long bevel, leaving only about an inch at the top square, cutting out an angular piece to receive the graft, and operating in all respects as in the foi-mer instance. When the stock is not large enough to receive a graft on each side, this mode is preferred, as forming the neatest union, as well as the most rapid ; for all the ascending sap is thus drawn to the summit of the bevel on which the graft is placed. 266. A graft, honoured with the name of Thoophrastes, is sometimes practised on trees having healthy roots, where it is desired to improve the fruit. Having cut the stem of the tree itself horizontally, or selected a single branch to be operated upon, about twenty inches from the princi- pal stem, tlii-ee vertical cuts ai-e made 1 in the bark, at equal distances from each other, about an inch long, selected three or more grafts, a, and shajjed their lower extremities into a tongue somewhat like the mouthpiece of a flageolet, with a neck or shoulder at the upper part, then introduce a graft under the bai'k of each vertical cut, raising the bark for that pm-pose with the spatula of the gi-afting-knife, and placing each gi-aft in such a position that the inner bark of the graft is in immediate contact with the inner bark of the tree. When r,eatly arranged, bandage the whole, and cover with the grafting-paste. 267.
