The wound is then tied, and, if it is above ground in the open, it is waxed. The stock is headed back vigorously to aid in deflecting a part of the energy into the cion. This method of grafting may be used to good advan- tage upon rather small grape stocks, be- low the surface of the ground. A modification of this style of side- grafting is the "cutting side-graft," shown in Fig. 114. This is adapted to root-grafting, particularly of the grape. The stock is cut wedge-shape, and is in- serted into an oblique incision in the cion. A side-graft which is a combination of budding and grafting is shown in Fig. 115. The incision in the stock is exactly like that made for shield-budding (Fig. 90), but a cion, cut wedge-shape, is used in place of a bud. The graft is tied and waxed. This style of grafting is use- ful for many difficult subjects. It is admi- rably adapted to the mulberry, in which the operation should be performed just as the foliage is well started in the spring, with dormant cions. The stock is headed back a week or so after the cion is set, and again at intervals during the season. The cion will often make suflficient growth the first season to form a salable tree by fall.
