The Horticulturist and journal of rural art and rural taste . egrowth commences. The bark and asmall portion o: the wood should be re-moved at the point where the union is tobe formed, and the two branches or stemsmade to join evenly, then tied firmly to-gether, so that the point of junction shallbe immovable. INARCHING. This method differs from the last onlyin the manner of manipulation. To grafttrees by inarching they must necessarilystand near together, so that their stems or •branches can be united without separationfrom the parent stock. Incisions are usuallymade similar to those employed in tonguegrafting. Fig. 80 shows the stems of twotrees ready to be joined near their base byinarching. The branches of different trees or of the same tree may be inarched, and inthis manner hedges and other forms of livefences may readily be formed. Inarchingis often employed instead of grafting bythe ordinary methods; and after the unionhas been formed, the inarched branch isseparated from the parent stem. In thismanner many varieties of trees which are. Fig. 30. found difficult to propagate in other ways,are quite rapidly multiplied. For in-stance, young stocks are planted arounda large tree, and near enough to it to al-low the branches to conveniently reach thestock when ready for use, at which timethey are inarched ; and when the brancheshave firmly united, they are severed fromthe parent tree, and the stocks removedwith their grafts. The weeping taxodi-um, beech, birch, and similar trees areoften propagated in this manner quiterapidly.
