The leaves are removed, but the petioles are left attached to the twig, as shown in Fig. 9, to act as handles to the buds to aid in inserting them underneath the bark of the stock. In cutting a bud, the bud-stick is held in one hand with the proximal end — the one that was nearest the limb from which the twig was cut — away from the body and a bud is cut by F^«- the bud. starting about half an inch above the bud and finishing about half an inch below. At the lower end of the cut, as shown in Fig. 10, the bark is left attached until the bud is needed. All the buds are cut before starting to insert underneath the bark of the stocks. The cuts in the stocks are made about three inches above the ground. A cross incision and a longitudinal in- cision are made through the bark of the stock, as shown in Fig. 11, o, and the bark turned back by means of the knife, as shown in 6. A bud is removed from the bud-stick by cut- ting it off at the lower end and insert- ing it underneath the Fig. 9.—Bud stick.
