Scion Cutting for Spring Grafting

Now is the time to gather .... scion wood

for early spring. The first thing to do

is find .... variety. Some .... clubs

and .... societies make it a point to ....

make available scion wood to those

needing it.

Scion wood should be cut now and stored

away until early spring. The best ....

are those of average vigor, well-hardened

and free of .... pests. Scion wood must

be kept dormant in cool storage .... bury it

in a sawdust pile on the north side

of a building.

In March bind it fast to your .... hardiest

and most prolific .... root. Make sure no

air .... can pass between. Plant in a well-

drained, well-protected .... spot. Guard

against hungry .... slugs. Proper selection

and care of scion wood will assure

a generous .... yield.
