 V-shaped cut in the scion so that they 

 match. If the two do not match per-

 about four inches long and place it on the 

 stock so the cambium layers of stock and 

 scion coincide. Bind firmly with warm 

 graft ing- cloth about three-eighths of an 

 inch wide, winding spirally from below 

 up over the union. Store in damp moss 

 or sand in a cool moist place till spring. 

 Cover distal end of scion with grafting- 

 wax, if cut.
