400 OF PLANTING. . SECT, Vllt, 



Many words have been necessarily employed in 

 directing to the business of grqffing, but let not that 

 circumstance deter ingenuity from setting about the 

 work; or a few failures prevent perseverance, which 

 will at length be crowned with success, and the 

 atchievement be a pleasing reward. Make proper 

 marks, or memorandums, to be assured hereafter of 

 the sorts. 



Lipping, mentioned page 92, is cutting the slope- 

 face of the cion so as to leave a rib down the mid- 

 dle > and then cutting out a notch in the part of the 

 stock that is to receive it. 



Double-budding, mentioned page 95, is twice-bud- 

 ding, first the stock, and then the shoot when it is 

 grown big enough, which is in two years. 



SECTION VIII. 



OF PLANTING. 



As so much depends upon proper planting, every 

 attention ought to be paid it. This business may be 

 arranged under these several heads. 1. The choice 

 of plants. <2. The act of planting. 3. The soil. 

 4. The situation. 5. The season. 



1. As to the CHOICE of plants. Trees ought to 

 be the best of the kind ; and therefore no care in 

 raising, or caution and expence in purchasing, should 

 be spared, that at least there may be a fair prospect 

 of satisfaction. To plant, and after waiting a long 

 time, to be disappointed, is rather a serious misfor- 

 tune ; especially when the work is to be begun again 

 late in life.
