Methods of holding the scion to the stock. 1. Rubber bands looped over a spine 
which pierces the flat joint of an Opuntia. 2. Looping the bands around the 
small pot. Be sure to place the band wwder the pot first and up over the graft. 
3. Looping the bands around scion and stock which has not been rooted. 
4, Trough edged with nails over which the bands are looped. 
A handy tool for holding 
the band in place when 
using a spiny stock. This 
particular stock is a 
Cereus peruvianus seed- 
ling quite free from 
spines.
