ON GRAFTING.

but plants from the nurfery may be potted, and grafted in the 
fame feafon, if brought into a Hot-houfe or Vinery; for the 
great warmth of either will generally caufe plants, brought out 
of the open air, to pufli with vigour, and to form new roots, 
which will fupport the plant, and greatly facilitate its forming 
an union with the flock. 
I have conflantly had fine grapes, and the grafts have made 
good v;ood, the firft feafon, by every method of grafting, but 
particularly by the lafl. In which it is obvious that the graft 
has a double fupport, viz. from the flock, as well as from the 
plant in the pot. 
In this method it will be neceflary to let the clay and band- 
age remain two or three months after the graft has formed an 
union ; for if taken off at an earlier period, the grafted part of 
the plant will be very liable to fpring from the flock. 
The pot fhould be plentifully fupplied with water till the 
month of Augufl, when the graft fhould be feparated from the 
plant in the pot. Two or three inches of wood below the 
bottom of the graft may be left, but fhould be taken clean 
off at the next winter’s pruning.
