ON INARCHING. FIVE ENGRAVINGS SHOWING HOW IN- 

 ARCHING SHOULD BE DONE. ENGRAVING OF A SIX- 

 YEAR-OLD INARCHED PLANT. ENGRAVING OF A 



FOUR-YEAR OLD ALBA PLENA GROWN FROM A 

 CUTTING. 



INARCHING is grafting by 

 uniting a scion to a stock with- 

 out separating it from its parent 

 plant. 



I would advise this mode of 

 working the Camellia for those 

 who have but few plants, or 

 those with limited experience. 



Fig. 34 represents the single 

 stock with a small piece of the 

 wood and bark sliced off at the 

 side. 



This is where the union of 

 both plants is to be made. 



If you want low bushy 

 plants, place the inarch on the 

 stock as low down as possible, 

 as will be seen in the engraving. 



July and August are the best 

 months for inarching, as the 

 wood of both plants is generally 

 ripened, and will unite quickly.
