Grafting 



a time comes when the graft can do this work 

 for itself, and it must then be relieved of 

 these fellow-guests which, being stronger than 

 itself, would soon cause it to starve. The 

 lower growths are the first to be suppressed, 

 and then, proceeding gradually upwards, the 

 highest, which are not removed until the 

 graft is nearly a foot long.
