IMPATIENT. A plant is said to be
impatient of heat or cold, when it is
speedily injured by a slight excess of
either one or the other.
IMPREGNATION. No seed ever attains
the power of germinating, unless the
pollen from the stamens in the same,
or some nearly allied flower, has reached
and impregnated its pistils. In fa-
vourable seasons, when genial warmth
and gentle winds prevail, impregnation
is readily effected by the plant's own
provision. The pollen is never shed
from the anther of the stamen, until
the stigma of the pistil is fully deve-
loped, and this soon withers after the
contact.
Insects aid in effecting this impreg-
nation, and in frames, hothouses, &c.,
from whence they are almost totally
excluded, other artificial means might
be adopted with success to render
tiowers fertile that had hitherto failed
in producing seed. Thus the gardener
always finds the advantage of using the
camel hair pencil to apply pollen to the
stigmas of his forced melons, cherries,
and peaches. See Hybridizing.
INARCHING or Grafting by approach
differs from grafting only in having the
scion still attached to its parent stem
whilst the process of union with the
stock is proceeding. It is the most
certain mode of multiplying an indi-
vidual that roots or grafts with diffi-
culty, but is attended with the incon-
venience that both the stock and the
parent of the scion must be neighbours.
Having the stocks properly placed,
make the most convenient branches
approach the stock, and mark in the
body of the branches the parts where
they will most easily join to the stock,
and hi those parts of each branch, pare
away the bark and part of the wood
two or three inches in length, and in
the same manner pare the stock in the
proper place for the junction of the
graft, then make a slit upward in the
branch so as to form a sort of tongue,
and make a slit downward in the stock
to admit it ; let the parts be then joined,
slipping the tongue of the graft into
the slit of the stock, making the whole
join in. an exact manner, and tie them
closely together with bass, and after-
wards cover the whole with a due quan-
tity of clay, or wax. After this let a
stout stake be fixed for the support of
each graft, and so fastened as to pre-
vent its being disjoined from the stock
by the wind.
The operation being performed in
spring, let the grafts remain in that
position about four months, when they
will be united, and they may then be
separated from the mother- tree ; in
doing this be careful to perform it with
a steady hand, so as not to loosen or
break out the graft, sloping it off down-
wards close to the stock ; and the head
of the stock cut down close to the
graft, and all the old clay and bandage
cleared away and replaced with new,
to remain a few weeks longer. Ob-
serve, however^ that if the grafts are
IMP
[510]
IND
not firmly united with the stock, let
them remain another year till autumn,
before you separate the grafts from the
parent tree. Instead of approach
grafting in the usual manner, it is
sometimes convenient to detach shoots
of the kinds to be propagated from the
plants on which they grew, and inarch
them upon the single plant, leaving a
piece at the bottom of each shoot
sufficiently long to thrust into a phial,
which must be kept constantly supplied
with water.

seed and cuttings of the short side shoots, in
sandy peat, under a bell-glass, and in a good
bottom-heat ; bulbnns and tuberous by division,
and by cuttings of the young shoots, as they
commence growing ; the bulbs and tuberous
ones, especially the hardier ones, are used for
herbaceous grafting, merely making a cleft, and
slipping the young shoot into the place, claying
over, and plunging in a hotbed ; stout short
stems with roots of Sellowii are frequently
used for grafting the more tender sorts ; peat
and loam. Temp, for stove kinds, b'0 to
85 in summer; 50 to 60 in winter. The
crimson Horsfallice, requires a good heat.
