SIDE, WHIP GRAFT, ETC. 



8. Side grafting. A chisel is used to make the 

 notch in the trunk, as at («). A 

 slit is then made down the bark, 

 which is raised a little. The scion 

 is then cut thin, that the bark at 

 (h) may close over it, and a heel 

 left at (c), where it rests upon («). 



The sap, as it flows upward, is stopped by the notch, 

 and tends to nourish the scion. 



9. Whip grafting. Greffe en feute dite a VAnglaise. 

 The stock and scion are chosen of the 



same size, and each is sharpened on 

 one side, by a cut of about equal 

 length. That on the stock, of course, 

 slants upward, and that on the scion 

 downward. A tongue is then cut in 

 both, the one being the counterpart 

 of the other. These are interlocked, 

 and the whole bound together. 



10. Greffe Ferari de Thoiiin. It is necessary here 

 that the stock and scion be of equal size. 

 The latter is now cut (unlike the Bertem- 

 boise) of the same thickness at both sides 

 or edges, in the form of a wedge. A piece 

 of the stock of the same size is then taken 

 out, instead of making a cleft. This method 



is more particularly adapted to soft-wooded plants. 



11. The fruit-spurs of one tree are sometimes 

 grafted upon another. This is advantageous where
