THE BERTEMBOISE AND D'ALBEET. 



2. Greffe a un seul rameaii, dont une partie du sujet 

 est coiipee en biseau, or Bertemhoise. 



3. The crown graft. After the limb 

 has been sawed off at the proper point, 

 and the wound smoothed with the 

 knife, one, two, or three slits are made 

 in the bark (as at a), according to the 

 number of scions which are to be in- 

 serted, iand the bark slightl)^ raised on 

 each side of it. The scion is then 

 carefully cut thin upon the inside, and 

 is slid down between the bark and the 

 wood, — the side which is cut being 

 toward the wood. 



4. D'Albret, or tubular budding with 

 dormant eyes. This is similar to that 

 performed with pushed eyes, to be de- 

 scribed hereafter, except that the latter 



is done in August, when the sap is running, and 

 upon those species of trees whose bark will not rise 

 in the spring. This is done exclusively upon the 

 young wood. The top is not cut oif, as when graft- 

 ing with pushed eyes, but the bark having been 

 taken from the part to be grafted, the tube of bark 

 to be put on is cut longitudinally, so that it will go 

 on easily. The benefit in leaving the top on is that 

 the new bark will partake of the growth of the 

 shoot during the summer, and become united much 

 better.
