74 CULTIVATION OF THE MULBERRY. 



3d, the graft in the bark ; 4th, the graft on the branches ; 

 5th, by budding, (scollop grafting,) inoculation or budding. 

 In the work entitled 1-sang-tsong-lun, we read : 

 The second month of the year is the time to graft. The 

 different methods are, cleft grafting, the graft by insertion, 

 scollop grafting, and the graft by budding or inoculation. 



There is yet the graft called houan-tsie, or the graft of 

 exchange. This expression is applied to the operation 

 when the mulberry tree is grafted on the tree tchu-kou, (see 

 the commencement of the article on grafting ;) its leaves 

 become thicker and larger.
