 twice a day. 



If done according to the directions given here, in four 

 weeks the plants will be united. 



By examining them at the stated time, after they have 

 been inarched, you will find the barks joined firmly 

 together. 



All such should be cut half way through, and at the 

 same time cut half of the top from the single stock. 

 This will cause the inarch to half support itself. 

 About the sixth week you can cut the inarch off en- 

 tirely, as Fig. 37 represents, allowing one or two inches of 

 the single stock to remain above the inarch. 



This is merely done for a 

 protection to the inarch, and 

 can be removed at any time 

 after two months. 



The bands or cords should 

 be removed as soon as the 

 inarch is cut loose from the 

 parent plant. 



Tie again more loosely.
