sharp knife to smooth the cut and fit
the scions and q small mallet A little
tallow used occasionally will prevent
the wax from sticking to the oper-
ator's fingers In crown-grafting no
cleft is made across the stump. A
small stiletto or bodkin is generally
inserted between the bark and the sap
wood of the tree and when 1t is with
drawn the scion is pushed down in its
place. The scion is cut very thin and
sloping, the cut beginning opposite a
bud where shoulder is left to allow
it to rest more firmly upon the stock.
1t is not profitable to graft very large
branches, as it takes too long for the
wounds to heal over, and too much Of
the tree ought not to be cut away at
one time. The cuts should be kept
waxed over for year or two and all
suckers removed. Crown-grafting may
be done later in the season, when the
bark might be stripped from the stock
by the other method. Another ad-
vantage is that no wound is made
across the stock, as in cleft-grafting.-
