PRINCIPLES OF VEGETATION, E pushed forward, separate the root from the parent t'^. We thus obtam a new individuah 279. Cirde-grafti7ii^.~These grafts are composed of on^or many eyes or buds, carried by a ring of bark including the Hber. They are applied generally to the multiplication of certain large trees ; as the walnut, chestnut, oak, and mulberry. Towards the decline of autumn, as the sap returns to the roots, choose a mild day, free from rain. From the tree to be operated on, select a branch of the same size as the scion, having well-formed eyes. Upon this branch raise a ring of bark, a, without detaching the branch from the tree, making two circular incisions all round it, and making another vertical incision after- wards on one of its sides, and remove it gently. 2S0. Detach from the intended stock another ring of bark of the same size, and place the ring of the graft in its place at I b, and the ring of the stock on the place whence the scion was taken; bind up and cover the joinings with graft jng-joaste. In the follow- ing spring, if the graft has taken, cut the head of the stock imme- diately above the rings, which will favour the development of the buds which they carry. 281. Another application of this mode is practised. When the spring sap is about to rise, cut the head from the tree to be operated on, and remove a ring b from the top a. Choose a tree of exactly the same size, on which the oiieration is to be performed ; detach from it a ring furnished with two or three eyes, as &, and of the same length. Adjust this cylinder in the place of the ring detached, making it coincide exactly at its base with the old bark, and cover the whole with grafting-paste. Of all these grafts this is the most solid, and least subject to be disturbed by the wind ; but even this requires protection, so that it is not ehaken in its place
