The cut of dormant bud represents the plant as you receive it, all ready to 
transplant. The top having been cut back, a/ the bud inserted. The natural 
buds as they appear dui'ing the early part of the season should be rubbed off. 
Do not allow anything io grow below the inserted bud; this throws the whole 
force in the bud inserted to make the tree. Plant in loose, mellow, rich soil 
and watch carefully the first year and you will get a nice growth of 18 to 24 
inches under favorable conditions. The letter C in cut shows dormant bud.
