NEW METHODS OF GKAFTING AND BUDDING. 



stock, while the other spurs continue to produce 

 fruit. If the grafts knit well, the following year 

 the spurs of the stock are removed, and the 

 grafted spurs alone preserved. If the vine is 

 trained according to the Guyot method,* a hud is 



f rafted on the two eyes spur ; if the grafted bud 

 nits, the other is disbudded ; if it does not, the 



same operation is begun again the following Method. 



year, or the Clarac graft may be performed on the green 



shoot springing from 

 the second bud of 

 that spur. However, 

 the shape of the vine 

 need not be injured. 

 Bench grafting, in 

 view of obtaining 

 knitted rootlings, is 

 very rapid with the 

 Clarac method. One 

 may also, as in the 

 case of the Salgues 

 method, bud on canes 

 of a stock nursery, 

 1 6 inches apart, with 

 dormant eyes. 



Cuttings made 

 from these canes, 

 planted out the fol- 

 lowing spring, will 

 furnish excellent 

 grafted cuttings. 



Finally, the Clarac 

 method is used for 

 the so difficult mul- 

 tiplication of Berlan- 

 dieris ; for this we 

 make a one-eyed 

 cutting of Riparia 

 or liupestris, but 

 replacing the eye 

 with that of a Ber- 

 landieri.
