At tlio c ml of ono or at most two years, they will bo ready for trans, planting wlicro they nro Dually to stand. Thus prepared, wo havo had them nicely calloused by spring, and in some instances roots wero ready to lie formed. Iu planting, tho operator must bo governed by the nature of thu shoot. Urnpo cuttings .should ho tot so that only ono eyo Is nbovo ground. Sot other cuttings so that two eyes will appear abovo ground. In planting It it Is absolutely necessary that tho earth should ho quite llrm about tho lower part of tho cutting. For this, us ono reason, It is usual to set them somewhat slanting. Auotherndvan tagoln favor of pluntlngcuttlngs slant wise, is that they an supposed to root inoro freely than when planted vert ically, uud for tho reaso i that thus a greater surface is exposed to tho heat near the surface of tho earth.
