GRAFTING GRAPE VINES. The photo shows part of a vigorous young nursery of 8,000 vines, where different varieties of vine cuttings are grafted on to phylloxera resisting stock. Notice the various stages in the process. The whole of the parent stock except a few inches is pruned off; on this is grafted a cutting of the required variety, the two are tied with raffia grass, and are then covered with loose earth.
