rather than lose, you would save time by this 

 practice ; I have whip-grafted with success, 

 branches six and eight inches in circumference. 

 Grafting by approach, commonly called 

 enarching ; this method is principally practised 

 among exotics, consequently the fruit grower 

 will not feel interested in its detail, particularly 

 the apple grower, it being by no means neces- 

 sary ; this practice is principally adopted where 

 the scion and stocks will not unite freely by whip- 

 grafting.
