TERMS DEFINED THE term graftage is now accepted to include both grafting and budding. The real difference between these two processes is slight. Budding is inserting a single bud into the growing wood of a plant; grafting, merely consists in using a twig of several buds instead of a single bud. Also included under graftage is the process of inarching, or grafting by approach. The term cion (often spelled scion) is used to designate the portion of one plant which is inserted upon another plant, called the stock. The stock is usually rooted so that it may gather the nourishment from the soil and furnish it to the cion. It must be remembered that even though the stock and cion are in intimate union, each retains its own individuality. The tissues of bark and wood of each never mix, they merely knit to- gether. Most dicotyledonous plants, as Apples, Legumes, Evergreens, Cacti, Composites, Crucifers and members of the Potato family, have been grafted. Monocotyledonous plants, as Lihes, Orchids, Grasses, Irises, and the Aroids, have never been grafted for com- mercial purposes, because their parts are not adapted for the essen- tial close union. 84.
