 scion are made upon the node, thus greatly increasing the 

 strike. 



Herbaceous grafts should be made in June.* With the 

 side cleft graft, the extremity of the shoot of the stock is 

 pinched. The buds of the scion develop two or three weeks 

 -after the operation, and its shoots lignify well.

Herbaceous grafting, notwithstanding the success obtained 

 in Hungary, is a delicate operation, and belongs rather to 

 the~domain of horticulture. It certainly cannot be used in 

 extensive viticulture, as proved by experience in the South 

 of France.
