GRAFTAGE 93 mosphere can be confined. Many of the evergreens and Rhododen- drons are propagated by this method. SIDE GRAFTING Very closely resembling the veneer graft is the side graft. A diagonal cut is made in the stock, which should be long. Note the sketch (fig. 60), which shows how the cion is made and inserted into this cut. Plants by this method may be propagated either when in full growth or when dormant. Waxing is necessary

Plants by this method may be propagated either when in full growth or when dormant. Waxing is necessary out of doors; tying with waxed string indoors holds the cion in place. If the stock is headed back shghtly. the growth will be Fig. 60.—Side grafting the Rose. The cut in the stock should not be so nearly- through the stem and is best made longer and more acutely than shown in the sketch SPLICE GRAFTING An exceedingly simple form of grafting is the spKce graft. Stock and cion are cut with a long diagonal cut as for the whip graft. The two parts are tied together without further fitting, although the stock and cion should be approximately the same size. This method is used on Roses (see page 136) and Cacti (see fig. 61), and is only successful in the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hottes, Alfred Carl, 1891-1955.
