Grafting Grape-vines. 
The process of grafting grape-vines is entirely simple, 
being ordinary cleft-grafting, and can be done by the most 
common workman who is bandy in ttie use of tbe knife. 
"Grafts carefully inserted, grow with surprising rapidity 
and vigor, and the method affords a very easy "way of re- 
placing an indifferent or worthless variety of grape with a 
good one. If properly done, the risk of failure is very 
small."— American Agriculturist. 
We have issued a circular giving full particulars how and 
when to graft vines, which will be sent to all applicants.
