REMARKS ON INCREASING PLANTS BY INARCHING 



AND LAYERING. 



BY A PHACTITIONER. 



There are many of the most splendid flowering stove, greenhouse, and 

 hardy shrubs, whicii are only to be propagated but by the methods of 

 either Inarching or Laying them, or if they can be struck from cut- 

 tings they seldom grow in a healthy condition afterwards. But a 

 weakly growing species inserted upon the stock of a free-growing kind 

 will cause it to bloom far more profusely and vigorously; an addi- 

 tional advantage too is afforded by being enabled to obtain a plant of 

 considerable size in a short time. I have, therefore, drawn up some 

 practical observations upon the method which I have pursued most 

 successfully for twelve years. 



Inarching is a species of grafting differing from it in these par- 

 ticulars, that, whereas in grafting the scion is at once totally separated 

 from its parent plant, and the head of the stock is cut clear ofl' before
