10. Grape grafting will be followed by better results if the 

 cions are inserted below the surface of the ground. Page 465. 



II: Cleft grafting is the most common and perhaps the most 

 successful form of graft to use, but it necessitates the entire removal 

 of the top. Page 464. 



12. Cleft grafting on a partially severed vine does not require 

 the complete removal of the top, and under similar conditions 

 offers nearly as good chances of success as when the ordinary 

 cleft graft is used. Page 467. 



13. Crown grafting by inlaying is a more difficult operation than 

 cleft grafting, but it offers the advantage of being preferable when 

 the wood of the stock is curly, and does not split readily. Page 468. 



14. Cutting grafting is a more difl&cult and tedious method, but 

 is followed, when well performed, by exceptionally vigorous 

 growth. Page 468. 



15. Tongue grafting, as practiced by the Italians or by the 

 vineyardists of CiiUtornia, gives excellent results both upon large 

 and small stocks. Page 470. 



16. Tongue grafting is one of the safest methods to use, but it 

 is not always the easiest to perform. Page 470. 



17. Side grafting is one of the best forms of inserting cions. 

 It is easily performed and gives satisfactory results. The vine 

 does not need to be severed, and the same stock can be repeatedly 

 used. Page 471. 



18. The grafting of grape cuttings, whether rooted or not, is 

 carried on in this country to a very limited extent, but it may become 

 an important operation in the future. Page 472. 



19. The tongue graft is probably the best form to use for graft- 

 ing cuttings, but other methods may be employed with success.

20. A vine properly grafted is probably as long lived as one 

 upon its own roots, if suitable stocks are selected. Page 473.
