Excellent reviews of the literature on compatibility of stock and scion varieties of pome and stone fruits have been published by Argeles (1) and by Gardner, Bradford and Hooker (3). Therefore, no general review will be included in this discussion. The authors cited in those reviews agree, in general, that incompatibility or incongeniality are relative terms ranging from complete lack of union between stock and scion, to such a degree of ability to unite and succeed in growth that "the union is perfect and the behavior of the grafted plant the same as that of an entire ungrafted plant".
