THE Manner of Splice Gtafting (called Whip-Grafing) is perform’ d 
by making an oblique Section, or floping Cur like a Pen, in the 
Cion, (as the Section c, Fig. I. Plate I.) with a Slit upwards from near 
the Bottom ; then having cut a fmall Part out of ‘the Top of the Scock, 
fit for the Reception of the Cion, as the inward. Section d, Fig. IV. with a 
downright Slic therein}. a8 d ; place thereon the Cion ab, fo-as the Slit 
of the Cion, being in-the Slit of the’Stock, the lower Patt of the Cron y; 
Fig. II. may be exactly fmooth with the. lower Part.of the Cut in the 
Stock at ¢,Fig. TV. And if it happens that the Breadth of the Stock is greater 
than’ the Breadth: of the Cion, be fure that’ you place the Cion to one 
Side‘of the Stock; fo as’ for theit Barks to lie “exactly fmooth and even 
with each other ; for°then ‘theit ‘Sap-Veflels being placd dire@tly over 
each other, they can the eafier unite together. If, when you have 
plac’d your Cion in the Stock, he do not fit clofe together, you mutt, 
with’ Bafs-Mat, ‘bind them dots fo that the ‘Wet or Air cannot get in 
between, and difunite their Union: You muft alfo be careful to {ee 
them well loamed ; that the Loam is well clofed at the Tops and Bot- 
toms; that it is not put on too wet, which will caufe it to fall imme- 
daly, = that ‘tis well 1 work di in all its = fo as to ad no Cracks 
thi eink. on 
_ WHEN you hea down a Stock for Grafting, you muft be ‘arena 
to cut it: off at a Place aoe the Bark is perfeealy fmooth, and free 
from Cankers, MoSs, Or. 
‘TIS sbishaely oe that you cut your Cuttings or Cion again{t 
a Bud, as at b, Fag. 1. and that you haye at leaft two others above it, for ‘tis 
by the attractive Power of the Buds, that the Cions draw Nourifhmene 
and ‘grow.
