The ligature has usually been of bast,applied wet; but it is apt to become better material is narrow tape, or narrowadhesive straps, made as directed in a suc-ceeding page (340).

Theorganization of wood takes place on its exterior, and thatof bark on its interior, surface, and these are the partswhich are applied to each other in the operation of budding;in addition to which the stranger bud finds itself, in its newposition, as freely in communication wiii. alimentary matter, ormore so, than on its parent branch. Union takes place of thecellular faces, or horizontal system, of the stock and bark ofthe bud, while the latter, as soon as it begins to grow, sendsdown organizable matter, out of which wood, or tlffe verticalsystem, is constructed. In consequence of the horizontalincision, the returning sap of the scion is arrested in its course,and accumulates a little just above the new bud, t
