Grafting is but a modification of prop.-igation l>y cut- 

 tings. The scion is a cutting of the variety we wish to 

 propagate, which, instead of being committed to the 

 ground to emit its own mots, is placed in contact witli 

 tissres of a nature similar to its own, through which it is 

 to form a connection with the roots and the soil. The 

 success of the operation depends upon the formative cell 

 in this instance also, as in the cutting; new cells arc
