134- THE PRACTICAL PLANTER. 



in planting, the spademan should stand 

 Uppermost, and the bo}4 or girl undermost 

 on the bank ; by which, the plant will be 

 inserted at the lower angle of the gash or 

 slit. 



Finally, the operation of planting, in what- 

 ever manner performed, being of the utmost 

 consequence to the immediate and future 

 welfare of the tree, too much care can hardly 

 be bestowed on it. Nor should he who per- 

 forms his part well, if diligent, be chid for 

 doing too little.
