Cion and stock are then united, as shown in Fig. 107, care being take to have the cambium layers in contact on one side. When cuttings or parts of equal dia- meters are grafted by the tongue-graft, the layers on both sides may be placed together. The tying of grafts is advis- able when small wood is used, but large stocks, when cut below the ground, scarcely require this precaution. When the operation is finished, the soil is heaped up, as in ; An old-fashion- ed modification of the whip-graft leaves the end of the cion 4 or 5 inches long, so that it may project downwartls into a bottle or dish of water, thereby al'S(M'bing suflrcient moisture to maintain the cion until it imites with tlie stock. Another ni'jdification, with the same purpose in view, is to allow the ends of the tying material to fall into the water. These methods are called "bot- tle-grafting" in the books. They are really of no account, although they might l)e employed for certain difficult subjects amongst ornamental plants; but even there, better results can be nb- tained by placing the grafts in a close frame (like that shown in Fig. 47), or by packing them in = ^' ' - ^ = loX.
