[February, 
Grafting Grape-vines. 
The process of grafting grape-vines is entirely simple, 
being ordinary cleft-grafting, and can be done by the mo6t 
common workman who is handy in the use of the 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. 
YVc have issued a circular giving full particulars how and 
when to graft vines, which will he sent to all applicants.
