C shows the don and stock joined. stock and tied firmly in place (Fig. 76). This places the two cambium layers in contact; the two pieces unite, and the bud develops into a branch. The stock is then trimmed, so that only the branch from the cion bud remains. Grafting is commonly done in the spring; budding, in the early fall. The fruit produced on grafted or budded trees is usually like that of the cion, regardless of the variety of stock. However, there are cases in which the cion is modified by the stock. Discussions of these cases may be foimd in books on horticulture. Grafting is usually possible only between closely related species of plants. Sometimes, however, plants that are more remotely related may be grafted on each other, as for example tomato, tobacco, potato, and nightshade, or the pear, apple, and 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 Transeau, Edgar Nelson, 1875-1960.
