This meth-od, which is nothingbut the side-graft ofthe English garden-ers with the mostimportant addition of a longer tongue on the stock, isknown by various names, but it is oftenest called veneer-grafting in this country. Veneer-grafting is employed mostly from November toMarch, upon potted plants. Stocks which are grown out-doors are potted in the early fall and carried over in a coolhouse or pit. The cion is applied an inch or two above thesurface of the soil, and the stock need not be headed backijntil the cion has united. (See Fig. 112.) Both dormant. A B C ///. yeneergrafting (xj^).

All plants in full sap must beplaced under a frame in the house, inwhich they can be almost entirely buriedwith sphagnum, not too wet, and thehouse must be kept cool and rather moistuntil the cions are well species can be transferred tothe open border or to nursery rowsin the spring, but most plantswhich are grafted in this way arehandled in pots during the follow-ing season. Rhododendrons, Ja-panese maples and many conifers are some of the plants which are multi-plied by veneer-grafting. Such plants^ are usually laid upon their sides inframes (Fig. 47) and covered with mosstor several days, or untilhealing begins to takeplace.
