Root-grafting, described on a previous page (see Figs. 103, 104, 114), is virtually a grafting of cuttings. In other cases, union with an uncongenial stock is facilitated by allowing the cion to project downwards beyond the point of union, and to stand in the soil or moss or dish of water.

Root-grafting, described on a previous page (see Figs. 103, 104, 114), is virtually a grafting of cuttings. In other cases, union with an uncongenial stock is facilitated by allowing the cion to project downwards beyond the point of union, and to stand in the soil or moss or dish of water. (See, also, page 112.) Fig. 137 is a good illustration of the practice. The cion extends into the soil nearly as far as the root itself After union has taken place, the lower part of the cion is removed. This method can be used for some magnolias, mulberries, birches, and many other plants of which some kinds root with more or less difficulty. "Bottle-grafting," described in most of the books, is essentially this method, modified by letting the end of the cion, or a portion of the bandage, drop into a bottle of water. Inarching. âInarching, or grafting by approach, is the process of graft- ing contiguous plants or branches while the parts are both attached to their own roots. When the parts are united, one of them is severed from its root. Fig. 138 explains the operation. In this case, the larger plant (upon 'â ^â the left) is designed for the stock, plant has united, it is cut off just below the union and it thenceforth grows upon the other plant. Limbs of contigu- ous trees are sometimes grafted in this way. It is the pro- cess employed by nature in what is called natural grafting (Fig. 82). Grape-vines are often inarched. A thrifty young branch of a fruit tree may be inarched into the stem of a fruit upon the same tree, thus supplying the fruit with additional food and causing it to grow larger than it might if untreated.
