Bark grafting is similar, excepting that the split is made between the bark and the wood of the stock; it is used especially in grafting to rather large stems or branches. In a whip graft, used with small stocks in nurseries, both graft and scion are trimmed only from one side to a wedge shape (a split or tongue being left in the middle) and are fastened together with the cut surfaces in contact.

This method is used also when the scion is attached directly to the root of the stock, as is often done with apples in the western United States. In a veneer graft,. Fig. 137. — Various methods of grafting : A, budding; B, a contact graft; C, a form of saddle graft. After Gaucher. the stock and scion are trimmed off slightly on one side, and the cut surfaces are placed together. This method is used largely- with ornamental greenhouse plants. Sometimes branches of two plants are attached, first being trimmed off slightly at the point of contact and allowed to unite while each is still growing upon its own roots. When the union is complete, the scion is separated from its root. This method is called inarching. Budding is practiced with small stocks, usually not more than a year old; the scion, a bud with a small strip of bark attached, is inserted into a slit in the bark of the stock. Apples, cherries, and other fruits are largely multipUed in nurseries by 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 Allen, Charles E.
