GR A 259 —?— GRA Fig. 65. almost exclusively in Here- fordshire; but it is never T| attempted till the usual sea- son of grafting is past, and till the bark is readily de- tached from the alburnum. The head of the stock is then taken off, by a single stroke ofthe knife, oblique- ly, so that the incision com- mences about the width of the diameter of the stock, below the point where the medulla appears in the sec- tion, and ends as much above it upon the opposite side. The scion, or graft, which should not exceed in diameter half that of the stock, is then to be divided longitudinally, abouttwo inches upwards from its lower end, into two unequal divisions, by passing the knife upwards just in contact with one side ofthe me- dulla. The stronger division of the graft is then to be pared thin at its lower extremity, and introduced, as in crown grafting, between the bark and wood of the stock; and the more slender divi- sion is fitted to the stock upon the op- posite side. " The graft, consequently, stands astride the stock, to which it attaches itself firmly upon each side, and which it covers completely in a single season. Grafts of the apple and pear rarely ever fail in this method of grafting, which may be practised with equal success with young wood in July, as soon as it has become moderately firm and ma- ;—Theory of Horticulture. The other modes of grafting require no description, but will be best under- stood by a reference to the following sketches. Cleft Grafting. Fig. 66. Side Grafting. Fig. Chink or Shoulder Grafting.
