Into the cut previously made in the stock the bud is now inserted and pressed downward under the bark, then tied by passing strings of bass matting or cotton yarn around the stock thus pressing the bark closely over, the bud : care must be used not to allow the ligature to rest on the eye of the inserted bud. In ten days or two weeks the ties are removed by passing a knife \\| over them at the back of each stock ; thus severing them at one cut, or by un- winding. When the stock is growing rap- idly the operation must be attended to s^a^d^i Mil eat lier to avoid injury to the stock and bud by Btran- ,„t ami sin and gulation, and if the bud is found not fully united it bud ready for in- £J ' ' J v sert,on- must be tied up again.
