===Whip graft===
 
Grafting is the insertion of a small branch (or cion), usually bearing more than one bud. If grafting is employed on small stocks, it is customary to employ the whip-graft. Both stock and cion are cut across diagonally, and a split made in each, so that one fits into the other. The graft is tied securely with a string, and then, if it is above ground, it is also waxed carefully.

The word CION being used, is, as I have seen elsewhere, spelled SCION..a bud or shoot taken from one plant and grafted on to another(the ROOTSTOCK).  See pages 52-53 from 'THE PRINCIPLES OF GARDENING' by HUGH JOHNSON, Simon and Schuster, 1979.
