Splice Grafting is the simplest process, and is appli- cable only where the size of the stock and of the scion cor- respond pretty nearly; the ^^S- '^• two are cut with a sloping curve, each of which being made at the same angle, will coincide with the other when they are applied together, as represented in the engraving, fig. 7, Whip Grafting is a modification of the above. Each portion is cut in a slop- ing manner as in the splice grafting, but each is also split with a thin-bladed knife, as represented in fig. 8. The object- in this is to give a firmer union to the two portions, and also to present a more extended surface for the effusion of the new cell tissue that is to Fm. -TTHIP GRAFT- 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 Warder, J.
