260 AMERICAN VINES. 



Figs. 143 to 148 show the mode of execution of this graft. 



1st. The stock (growing) and the scion, both herbaceous, 

 are prepared in the same way as for a whip-tongue graft; 

 they are joined in the same way and ligatured with rubber. 



2nd. Or again, they may be prepared as for an ordinary 

 splice graft and ligatured as above. 



3rd. Or again, a kind of side cleft-graft is made, pinching 

 the shoot above the joint. (Figs. 143 and 144.)

Herbaceous Graft Scion. Same ligatured. (After Section showing the Union 

 (After H. Goethe.) H. Goethe.) of a herbaceous graft 



(After H. Goethe.) 



The sections of both scion and stock are made on a node; 

 this increases the strike, for reasons given above. 



These grafts are made in June, selecting the most vigorous 

 shoots as stock. Two or three weeks later the eye of the 

 scion bursts, and the wood ripens normally. 



Budding. Herbaceous budding has not been much 

 applied to vines. It has been modified lately, and complete 

 details, which we cannot give here, will be found in Bulletin
