Figs. 3 and 4. — Photographs of the usual type of cleft graft at the close of 

 the season following Its execution. Fig. 3 shows the ' ' front ' ' now completely 

 knitted and callused over. Fig. 4 shows the ' ' back ' ' ; the wood at the upper 

 part of the cleft is now dead. Grafts usually take thus when the diameter of 

 the stock is considerably greater than that of the scion. Though less perfect 

 than the result of a successful ' ' whip tongue ' ' graft, the graft here figured 

 will result in a vigorous and fruitful vine.
