Grating the Crane.

C. Morgans Of Kentucky, inquiries the best
method Of grating the grape. The main thing
70 be attended to for the successful performance
Of this operation, is to graft below the ground,
% that the Junction Of scion and stock may be
covered two or three inches with soil, to eI-
eludS the external air. This has been found
absolutely necessary in grating this fruit. The
stocks that are wanted to be grated, should be
prepared by removing the soil for several inches
In depth. The stock may be cut Of square at
asmooth place selected for the purpose, and one,
TIVE, or more scisnS inserted according to the
stock, in the usual sleff manner Of grating, or
. grah may be inserted in the ends Of pieces Of
root that are cut OF and are large enough near
the surface for that purpose. If the stock will
hold the graft, no tying is needed but if 9TH
SrWise Of course some mode Of tying must be
Fessrted 10. Some persons use strong ligatures,
Others wax, and some nothing at all, and all
With more or less Of success. To cover well
with wax however We think is surest. The soil
must be brought back oompactly round the
graft, % as TO leave only the top bad exposed.
Indeed the ssiOns need net consist Of bat one
bud, or may have several it should be long

surface. In regard to the time, most persons
agree that the scions should be cut and preserV-

on the stocks, which is the proper time to per-
fern the operation. Others have had better
