The stocks designed to be inarched, and the tree fromwhich the layer or shoot is to be bent or arched towards them, and put in or united, mustbe placed if in pots, or planted if in the open soil, near together. Hardy trees of free-growing kinds should have a circle of stocks planted round them every year in the samecircumference, every other one being inarched the one year, and when removed, theirplace supplied by others, so that there will always be, by this practice, stocks of one yearsstanding ready to receive the shoot. If the branches of tlie tree are too high for stocksin the ground, they should be planted in pots, and elevated on posts or stands, or sup-ported from the tree, &c. 378. 2009. Manipulation. Having made one of the most convenient branches or shootsapproach the stock, mark on the body of the shoot the part where it will most easily jointo the stock ; and in that part of each shoot pare away the bark and part of the wood twoor three inches in length, and in the same manner pare the stock in the proper place forthe junction of the shoot; next make a slit upwards in that part of the branch or shoot, asin layering, so as to form a heel, but more of a tongue shape than in layering, and makea slit downward in the stock to admit it. Let the parts be then joined, slipping thetongue of the shoot into the slit of the stock, making both join in an exact manner, andtie them closely together with bass. Cover the whole afterwards with a due quantity oftempered or grafting clay or moss. In hot-houses, care must be taken not to disturb thepots containing the plants operated on. 2010.
