If the butt of the tree is less than two Inches in diameter, a ono-inch hole may be bored in tho centre of the ccosspleces and tho butt trimmed down to fit it, but @ larger treo should be fastened by nails driven slantingly through its butt into the base. Another method is shown in Figure 2, This requires four pieces, about two feet long, which should be nailed together whirligig-fashion to form a square hole in the centre large enough to receive the butt of the tree, after which braces should be nailed into place to hold it upright.
