84 CAMELLIA CULTURE. 



Keep the temperature about the same for three weeks. 

 At the end of this time you will find them firmly united, 

 and many of them beginning to grow. 



When you find them starting their young growth, 

 gradually get them back to lower temperature. 

 January grafts take about six weeks to unite. 

 August grafts two months. 



When the grafts have united, the cords with which 

 they have been tied will need loosening, as the stock at 

 this time will be swelling. 



Remove the cord and tie again more loosely. 

 This is done only to keep the graft from being broken 

 by careless handling, etc. 



Do not encourage January grafts 

 to make but the one growth, and they 

 will have made this before taking them 

 out of the frame. 



The stocks, two or three weeks 

 after being grafted, will have a tend- 

 ency to grow, and show shoots below 

 the graft; these should be taken off. 



Do not allow any portion to grow 

 but the newly-inserted graft. 



One man will be able to graft three 

 hundred, putting two grafts in each 

 stock, tie and clay the same in one 

 day. 



For those who have had experience
