cleft-grafting_a it_o must_v be_v cut_v on_o both_o side_n to_o the_o heart_n and_o make_v thin_a but_o in_o slice_v or_o pack_v on_o it_o must_v be_v cut_v only_o on_o one_o side_n and_o so_o less_o hurtful_a to_o the_o graft_n 3._o three_o when_o stock_n be_v cleave_v if_o they_o be_v somewhat_o great_a common_o the_o rain_n and_o aire_n get_v into_o the_o cleave_a and_o rot_v the_o middle_a of_o the_o stock_n before_o the_o graft_n can_v grow_v over_o to_o cover_v the_o head_n of_o it_o which_o be_v not_o incident_a in_o this_o way_n of_o graft_v 4._o four_o this_o way_n of_o graft_v be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o do_v and_o more_o sure_a to_o take_v and_o grow_v then_o graft_v in_o the_o cleave_a for_o the_o graft_n &_o stock_n join_v more_o close_a and_o exact_o then_o can_v

second_o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o graft_v small_a stock_n such_o as_o be_v but_o just_a as_o big_a as_o the_o graft_n you_o mean_v to_o set_v on_o and_o those_o stock_n be_v prepare_v thus_o

back_n side_n of_o it_o at_o the_o top_n direct_o like_a as_o the_o graft_n be_v cut_v as_o be_v say_v in_o length_n as_o much_o as_o the_o cut_a part_n of_o the_o graft_n the_o manner_n of_o cut_v the_o graft_n for_o this_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o former_n than_o lie_v the_o cut_a part_n of_o the_o graft_n upon_o the_o cut_a part_n of_o the_o stock_n and_o let_v the_o top_n of_o the_o stock_n even_o the_o very_a bark_n of_o the_o outside_n be_v direct_o under_o the_o shoulder_n of_o the_o graft_n that_o so_o the_o cut_a part_n both_o of_o graft_n and_o stock_n may_v join_v and_o answer_v one_o another_o from_o the_o top_n to_o the_o bottom_n and_o so_o bind_v and_o clay_n they_o as_o before_o three_o there_o be_v another_o way_n of_o graft_v general_o practise_v graft_v though_o not_o so_o sure_o away_o as_o the_o two_o former_a and_o yet_o a_o better_a way_n for_o great_a stock_n for_o none_o but_o small_a stock_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o two_o former_a way_n it_o
