For grafting there is a frame or box needed inside the 

 greenhouse, with two coverings of glass. 



Place the frame inside of tho house, putting a sash or 

 a covering of glass over it. Inside of the frame nail strips 

 on the sides, having them extend across the frame, or in 

 any way that you may think best, so as to allow another 

 covering of glass. I use for this inside covering single 

 panes of glass. 



Fig. 18. 

 Box for grafting. 



Figure 18 represents a box frame, showing grafts, and 

 also the coverings needed. 



For persons who do not graft in large quantities a bell 

 glass will answer. 



When grafted in large quantities a frame is needed, and 

 a double covering of glass is really necessary, as it is im- 

 possible to keep a sufficient quantity of air from them with 

 only the sash. 



Use the double covering and your success will be sure. 



Exclude the air as much as possible from the young 

 grafts.
