Cleft-grafting is more or less employed in some parts of the country, especially in orchards. Old trees are headed down for the purpose of being re- grafted, and their stems or branches are split verti- cally with some sharp instrument. The grafts have their ends cut wedge-fashion to fit into these sKts, and a number of them may be inserted in the same. Side-grafting is only a convenient term applied to whip-grafting, when employed to furnish a tree with side branches in places where these are naturally deficient. The importance of this may be realised by the gardener when training young trees in- differently or even badly furnished with buds in proper positions. Old trees- may also be grafted at the base of their branches, and young wood trained in at some considerable length before the old is cut away. (See Bhanch-grafting op Peahs.)
