88 HOW TO MAKE SCHOOL GARDENS 



For Veneer Grafting: Remove a shav- 

 ing of bark through the cambium layer, 

 about one inch long, from both the stock 

 and the scion. Make a short transverse 

 cut at the base of each vertical cut. Have 

 the cambium layers of the stock and the 

 scion coincide. Bind firmly with grafting- 

 cloth, and store in damp moss or sand in 

 a cool moist place till spring. 



A modified form of veneer grafting, 

 called approach grafting, is used on plants 

 in leaf. In this case the stocks and scions 

 remain on their own roots until union 

 takes place.
