CHAPTER XXVIII. 



ON GRAFTING. FIVE ENGRAVINGS SHOWING SINGLE 



STOCK. SINGLE STOCK GRAFTED. THE BEST MODE 



OF GRAFTING. THE FRAME TO RECEIVE THE 



GRAFTS. GRAFTED PLANT, ONE YEAR OLD. 



GRAFTED PLANT, TWO YEARS OLD. 



FOR the benefit of those who still 

 practice grafting, I will here endeavor to 

 give the best means by which it can be 

 accomplished. 



Of late years, grafting has been more 

 practiced by growers than inarching. 



It is much less labor, and where two 

 grafts are inserted in the stock, makes de- 

 cidedly a more shapely plant. 



Fig. 27 represents a single stock with 

 openings to receive the grafts of the dou- 

 ble kind. 



The grafts should be of only one eye 

 long, and will be seen on the plant repre- 

 sented in the engraving. 



This graft is pared or sliced on both 



Single stock, with s ides, and made to fit the cuts in the 

 openings to re- 

 ceive the grafts, stock as accurately as possible. 



I place two grafts in the stock, but most growers 



only use one.
