V-shaped cut in the scion so that they 
match. If the two do not match per-

stock so the cambium layers of stock and 
scion coincide. Bind firmly with warm 
grafting-cloth about three-eighths of an 
inch wide, winding spirally from below 
up over the union. Store in damp moss 
or sand in a cool moist place till spring. 
Cover distal end of scion with grafting- 
wax, if cut.
