This necessitates that the size of the branch from which the bud is taken and that of the stock to which it is to be affixed be equal, or nearly so. A similar treat- ment is required for this as for the method of inserted buds; but the result of the season's growth will be more apparent in this than in the latter, owing to the advan- tage derived from the more extended time for its union with the stock. QEAFTING. The grafting methods have been long practised and are at present the most commonly used in propagating trees, especially fruit-bearing varieties. Though of old origin, yet they would seem to be not generally under- stood. They are, however, a necessary acquirement for persons interested in the production of variety, or in the preserving of a particular species. There are three modes in common practice at present, the splice, cleft, and saddle graft, each approved and advocated upon its own particular 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 Brisbin, James S. , (James Sanks), 1837-1892.
