CROWN OR BARK GRAFT 



For this graft the stock is sawed off 

 as if for a cleft graft, but the incision 

 is made,, as shown opposite, to include 

 the bark only, exposing the cambium 

 layer. The don, cut only on one side, 

 is inserted, and a waxed bandage is 

 applied. The cion here is not at first 

 held quite so securely as in case of a 

 cleft graft, but, on the other hand, the 

 stock is not split, which is an advan- 

 tage. This method can only be used 

 late when the bark slips.
