The graft, c, consists of the fragment of a branch of the same diameter as the stock, and in the same state of vegetation ; it is cut to the same length as the prolongation of the stem,, d; it is wedge-shaped, fitted to the slit into which it is inserted, bound, and covered with some grafting-paste. The leaf, a, is left on the stock to draw the sap upwards for the nourishment of the graft. The leaf of the graft, c, assists in the process by absorbing it to the profit of the young scion. The fifth day after the operation, the central eye, a, is suppressed; five days later, cut the disk of the leaf at/, resen'ing only the median nervure, rubbing off at the same time the eyes at the axil of these leaves, repeating the same sup- pression ten days later. At this time, also, that is, twenty days after the operation, cut the disk of the terminal leaf, a : these several suppressions will force the sap progressively from the roots into the graft. Towards the thirtieth day the graft enters on its gi'owth : at this time remove or relax the bandage, protecting it by a paper coronet, from extreme drought and the sun. â 271. In Side-grafti'p[/ it is not essential, as in other groups, to amputate the head of the stock, the graft being attached to the side, as its name indi- ca':es. Having made a cross-cut into the bark of a tree, as at B, and a M W ^]^d^^ A vertical incision in the bark from its centre, thus marking a cut in the form of a T, each cut penetrating to the liber or inner bark; having also prepared the scion A by a longitudinal sloping cut of the same length, as B C, and raised the bark with the spatula of the grafting-knife, the graft' is introduced, and the whole bandaged in the usual m
