The lemon should be budded at such a height that its union with the stock will be above the line of irrigation and moisture arising therefrom. This guards the lemon against disease. The first operation consists in making a vertical incision in the bark, as shown in Fig. 3. Note the position in which the knife is held. It is not necessary to press too hard,but simply cut through the bark. The transverse incision is then made at the top of the ver- tical incision, as Fig. 3. Fig. 4. Fig. 5. shown in Fig. 4, and by a slight twist of the hand from left to right the bark becomes opened sufficiently to admit the point of the bud to enter into the incision (see Fig. 5). Now comes the cutting of the bud, which is shown in Fig. 6. Note the position of the hands and the manner of holding the knife. The point of the bud is held downward and the buds are cut from the back. In this way the buds are cut smooth and do not crack in cutting, as is the case when cut from above. The bud is then inserted by holding it between the fingers and press- ing it downward into position, as shown in Fig. 7. It is then
