Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...to fit well. Next cut a thin tongue from j to k which completes the preparation of the scion. The stock should now be cut at /, so that j k (the tongue of the scion) fits exactly, and when pressed together the inner barks come into contact on one side at least. The slit / in the stock acts as a support to the graft and should be made as near the top as possible, as, if made lower down, it would tend to interrupt the flow of sap." "It now remains to prevent air and sun from reaching the cuts. Take a little clay and rub it well round, making a large ball, and then press firmly so as to make it taper to the top and bottom in the shape of an egg as shown in D. By dipping the hand in the ashes and remoulding the ball a nice finish can be given." 2. Saddle-grafting. (Fig. 2.) "Success in this method depends on the stock and scion being of more or less equal thickness. The stock a.is cut into a wedge, sloping on both sides to c, and the scion b is slit up the middle and enough wood shaved off to make it fit exactly. A sharp narrow-bladed knife should be used for this work. Tie and mould as in mode No. 1, taking care that the inner barks come into contact on one side at least. It is very important to see that the slit in the scion does not extend above c. Wedge-grafting is sometimes classed with this, the only difference being that the cuts in the scion and stock are reversed." Hart, Annual Report, Botanic Garden, Trinidad, 1902. t Tropical Agriculturist, Colombo, August, 1905. 3. Grafting By Approach Or Inarching.--" This is nature's only mode, and may occasionally be seen in gardens or forests where branches of two trees have rubbed together and become united. It is one of the most certain means of propagating kinds that will not rea...
