The wound heals slowly or poorly; looseprimary or scar instead of stronger tissue fills the spaceand weakness follows. Clairgeau pear on qumce anddomestica plum on peach are familiar examples. But set-ting aside such cases, if stock and cion are congenial toeach other and if the cion (or bud) grows at all, theunion should be good. Poor manipulation will causemany failures of grafts to grow, but will rarely affectstrength of union in grafts which live.

Physical strength of graft unions. From thestandpoint of plant anatomy and physiology grafts ma\-be weak in several ways. 1, Physical weakness at pointof union; 2, cion leaves may find it difficult to elab-orate sap taken up by stock roots; 3, stock roots mayiind difficulty in assimilating plant food elal)orated by theleaves; 4, there may bean interruption in theupward flow of sap dueto faulty connection ofthe xylem (203) vesselsat the point of union ; 5,a similar one in thedownward flow, due tofaulty union of thephloem (202) ; 6, thequantity of sap taken upby the root may be toomuch or too little for theproper supply of thecion; 7, the amf)unt ofelabora
