Excerpt from The Florist and Pomologist: A Pictorial Monthly Magazine of Flowers, Fruits, and General Horticulture I have for some time been thinking about a method which might easily be employed, and which, I believe, while affording a ready means of graft ing sorts which it might be supposed would be improved by this process, would also enable us to do so with the least possible loss of time as regards the growth of the variety intended to be fruited. My plan was to plant whatever varieties might be considered the most suitable for stocks, in the places intended to be occupied by the fruit-bearing Vines, and near to the stocks to plant the sorts intended to bear fruit; then to cut both back so to insure a break from near the ground, and when the two varieties had made growth enough, and the young wood was in proper condition, to inarch them, stopping the growth of the stock as soon as a union was affected, and encouraging the other to make a vigorous growth. After one or two years' growth and experience, the root of the stock, or that of the fruit-bearing plant, might be destroyed if it were considered advisable. Where many varieties of grafts are wanted in a house, another very in teresting set of experiments might be worked in this way If there is an established Vine or two in a house which can be conveniently used, get a lot of grafts of properly ripened wood of the varieties which it may be desired to fruit, and work the Vine all over with these. This should be done without cutting too deeply into the stock, which would cause it to bleed, and so prevent a union; but a very shallow cut li inch long should be made, with a cross downward cut at the end, and the graft be fitted to it as shown in the sketch. The graft should be bound up with bass matting rather tightly, and then the junction covered with grafting-wax. A large Vine grafted thus, would carry many sorts, and the grafts would bear fruit the same season. When Vines have been badly ripened, it might be advisable to graft them in the same way with eyes from properly ripened wood, of the sorts intended to be fruited.
