Some budders do not use the spatula,, but raise the lips of bark with the blade of the budding knife. The center of a strip of moistened raffia is then applied to the stock just below the inserted bud; the ends of the strip are crossed on the opposite side of the stock, brought forward and again crossed just above the bud, thus covering the horizontal cut of the T. The ends of the raffia are then brought behind the stock, tied in a half knot, and drawn moderately tight (Fig. 122 ), pressing the lips down snugly about. Fig. 12.). Fig. 12ii. Fig. 124.
