NEW METHODS OF GRAFTING AND BUDDING. 



on a large scale.* We are going to point out how much 

 more easy, rapid, and practical are the following methods. 



SALGUES GRAFT. 



This graft was originated by a carpenter, Mr. Salgues, of 

 the village of Betaille (Lot), whose first trials were made 

 on the 27th June, 1887. It is an ordinary budding, but

so profoundly modified as to be entitled to be considered as 

 a new method. We have seen the results of this method in a 

 vineyard of four to five years old ; the grafts were fine, the 

 joint invisible, and could only be detected by a slight 

 swelling at the point where the graft had been made. 



On the other hand, many viticulturists have obtained 

 unsatisfactory results with this method ; this is due to the 

 insufficient quantity of sap at the moment of operating, or 

 to the bad selection of the scion-bud, or, again, through not 



* The Horvath method might be simplified by utilizing the simple 

 longitudinal slit invented by Salgues. The bark on the side of the slit 

 being lifted by bending the shoot inwards, the bud being introduced into 

 the opening thus formed. Trials of this simplified Horvath method have 

 been made at Ondes by Clarac.
