Take the intended graft, of the same diameter as the stock, and shape its lower extre- mity so as to fit into the cleft thus made, bind uj? in the usual manner, and cover the joint with graffc- ing-paste. This forms a very strong and very use- ful graft in species which unite slowly. 269. Ilerlaceous-grafi- ing, as initiated by Baron de Tschudy, consists in choosing branches still in active growth. Pines, walnut-trees, oaks, and â other trees which are multiplied with difficulty by other processes, are easily produced by this one. The mode of operating differs slightly, according to the species. In the case of pines and resinous trees, when the terminal bud of the subject, a, has attained two-thirds of its growth, make an horizontal cut at d; then make a slit downwards to the point where it begins to lose its herbaceous character in the ligneous consistence of the tree; stripping the part of its leaves, and leaving only a bud or two at the top to atti-act the sap. Tho gi'affc, h, is now pi-epared, having a cluster of young buds at its summit, and its lower extremity shaped to fit into the slit, where it is so jDlaced that the upper j^art projects over the cut in the stock. It is now covered with grafting-clay and bound, beginning at the top, below the bunch of leaves left on the stock, so as to avoid disturbing the leaves, and working downwards. This done, break off, an inch or so from their axils, the branches c c of the stock below the graft. When operating on delicate species, it may be desirable to envelop the graft in a covering of paper, to preserve it from the over dry atmosphere or the heat of the sun, for ten or twelve days after the operation. Five or sis weeks after grafting, thc'.union will be com- plete, and the bandage may be removed, or a
