The craft of Graffing and planting of trees TO graffe fruyte that shall haue no core Take a graffe and bow it both ends combing cut both ends graf wyse so fasten them into the stoke And yf it growe so with the tree cut a waye the great ende and let the smaler ende growe and hys fruyte shall haue no core yf thou wylt make apples read take a grafe of an apple tree and graffe it in a stoke of elme or allere ād it shall beare redde apples Also another for the same bore an hole in an apple tree to the pithe and temper it with water what colour thou wylte and then put it in the hole and stope it with a pin and the apple shal be of the same colour that thou putest in the tree It is to be noted that euery tree that is plantede and set on S. Lambardes day in the earth shall not perishe but proue and come to profyt yf thou wylt haue a Pere tree full of frute or els as moch as it hath ben wont to bere tempre scamony with water and put it into an hole that is perced to the pith of the tree stop the hole with a pynne of that same tree or of a nother and it shall beare as yt was wont and muche more And yf thou wylt haue thē to smell lyke spyces or as muske or bawme or other spices make an hole in lykwise in the tree and stop it agayne and the fruyte shall smel sauour after the spices that thou putest into the tree Yf an olde tree begin to waxe drye do in thys wyse quicken hym a gaine Se that the eares that is bout the rotes be done a way cleue .ii. or .iii. of the greatest rotes wyth an axe and putte a wedge in to the cleuyng and couer the roote agayne with the same earth Another for the same perce the tree through wyth apercer crosse wyse or wyth a wymble the strēgth of the tree shall begyn to waxe yonge Yf thou wylt haue a fruyte tree that is soure to be made swete fruyte delue the tree round about donge the rotes with pygges donge and so shall the fruyte be made swete Also another for the same make an hole in the soure tree with a percer to the pythe ād into the hole put water tempred with hony and stoppe that hole againe with a pynne of the same tree And if thou wilte plante an almonde tree or a wal not tree or a Therye tree or a Peche tre put the kernels of whiche thou wilte in water four dayes and than put many kernelles together into the earth or seuerally whan they sprynge be growen out and hath stand so an hole yeare than take them out of the ground and set them than wher thou wylt and it is to be noted that euery tree the braunches muste be cut in settyng tyme saue the peche tree whych must haue hys drye braunches cut onely yf the peche tree begine to droupe let him be wel moysted at the rote with dregges of wyne and the same moysting shall kepe hym from sheding of his fruyte and some saye that and the rootes be moysted wyth water of the decoccyon of benes it shal quickē the tre greatly and if he casle his frute or thei be ripe make holes wyth a wymbel in the rotees mayke pinnes of wylowe and smyte them fast in the fruyte shall abyde on fast ynough If an apple tree begyn to rote or ani of the apples begene to waxe rosty then the barke of hym is sycke then cut it with a knife lette it be opened and whan the humour ther of is sum what flowen ouer let dong hym well and stop dilygentlye hys wound with claie The quince tree al the tyme that he is able to be translated he would be remoued eueri foure year that shall make him beare great plenty of fruyte after warde The chery tree loueth colde ayre moyste grounde but sum chery trees be full lykyng in hylly places the best settyng of chery trees is in the month of Nouembre and if nedebe in the latter ende of Ianuari And if the chery tree rote in anywyse make an hole with a percer vnder the rote that the water that causeth the rottyng mai haue issue oute it is to suppose that thys medecyne is good for all maner of trees that begeneth to rot Also it is good for all maner of trees whē a bough is cut a waye that the place that is cut be couered w̄ claie or some other defensable plaster for the defence of the rayne that it make note the tree to rot The playntyng of prunes in oulde and moysti places is best in februarie Marche the stones muste beset a hand brede in the earthe whan they haue stand so an hole yeare take vp the springes of them set them deper in the ground and the stones must lye in water thre dayes or they beset The medler wyll beare well if he be plantyd but graffe hym in a whyte thorne called an hauthorne and they will be are the more plenteously If thou wilt haue ani roses in thi garden thou must take the harde pepyns of the same roses that be ryght rype and sowe them in the earth in Febuary or in Marche And when the sprynge temper them with watersand after the space of a yeare thou muste translate them and depart them farther from other in whrt other place ye wyll If thou wylt that a vyne beare white grapes ād on the other side reed puruay that a white vine and a rede he set nere together And whan they be roted measurably both like much and of either pare awai halfe endlong vppon the pythe and twyne them together and bynd them so that eyther sap met without disioining and wrape it together with a souple linnē cloth and euery thre day moyst it with water tyll it grow And after that they be growne together thou mayst cut a way the one rote And the other may bere it and that vyne shall bere both red grapes whyte not with standing the one rote be donne a waie also thou mayst doe so with tow pere trees tow apple trees braunches Also yf thou wilte haue grapes grow in a plomtre or a therie tree sett a vine vnder one of thous trees whiche thou wylte and whan the vine beginneth to grow bore the other tre throughe with a percer accordynge to the greatnes of the vyne thē draw throughe the tree and pare a waye the vpper ende of the same vyne as farre as it shall be in the hole and soo suffre it to grow whan both be ioyned togeather cut away the rote ende of the vyne by the tree and sowde that place wel of that cuttyng drawynge of the vine throught the hole the cuttyng awai of the roote of the vyne that muste be done in marche some mē wyl saye it must be done
or the knottes be giue to burgyne that for that straet drawyng the burgeos be not hurt thā mayst thou dow the sam with diuers trees dyuers frutes make one tree beare to dyuers fruytes of dyuers coloures Also it is to wyte that at the vine be good earth syred it selfe of to many scurges it is good to ent that of wyth a knyfe if it lacke yet ouermoche delue the stock a boutand fyll the pyt●full of grauel of a floude medled with ashes Also sum men saye doo in to the pyt a good quantyte of small stones that is good therfore Item it is to wite that whā the mone is in Tauro it is good tyme to plant trees of graeues and pepins whan she is in Lācro Leo or Libra it is good workyng of trees that be new sproung and whā the moone is virgo it is good tyme to sowe all maner thinges And frō the myddes of Septembre vnto the myddes of December is open tyme of plantynge ād ryght so from the myddes of Ianuari to the middes of Marche but yet in thes tymes it is good to those whan thee moone is .v. vi vii viii or .x. dayes be fore the full mone And after the full in cone when she is xxi xxii xxiii xxiiii or xxv dayes olde for this quarter of the mone is most temperate Item euery plantynge is to dispose it so that the sōne beames may come to the rote or to the earth from the houre of terce vnto none And be planted in the best maner And that the trees that be bearing ād of great height that party that stode toward the north he be set agaynst the northwynde and the northwest wynde For the heyght northwynde the northwest wynd hath kynd to kyll and drye to muche the trees that be newe set for theyr vnmeasurable greatnes the earth must be ordeined so that it be neither to fat nor grauelly but proporcionably Al maner of pepyus carnels and greynes must be set in the earthe in depenes of foure or fyue fingers brede that eche be from other halfe a fore Alway kepyng thys specyall rule that the ende or grayne of the pepyn that standes next the rotte be northest in the setting that other ende vpward toward heauen And that thou moist them twise or thryse in the daye not rottyng but dewyng or springlyng this is a preuitie among connynge men that in uere is most conuenable tyme for sedes graeues pepyns and Autumne of sprynges and plantes Whan thou wylt take a setteleng that spryngeth cut of an other tre rote make a delue ther about after the quantite therof so depe tyl thou come to the great rote that the sprynge groweth out of ād thou muste cutte it of and holdynge the edge of the knyfe toward the tree ground and cutte it so with a slope draught leaue as much of the earth about the roote and stocke of the setting as thou may ād sette it in a good ground ordeyned therfore and in a conuenient tyme as it is before sayd if any spryng so groweth out of any tree chose it that groweth right out that be not ouer longe but euen without any small braūches holding the knife in the cutting alway toward the tree as is aboue sayde Also yf thou wylt remoue a tree that is great or bearyng frute chose the a ful moone frō the middes of Octobre to the myddes of Dicembre hauing vp the rootes as hole as thou may leauing as much of his owne earch about the rote as thou maye with the same maner and other as thou doest with setting of small trees setling it is no force though the moone be not euen in the full so she be in the .ii. or .iii. quarter the gouernayle of these plantes is dublynge of bearyng of fruyte Also yf thou wilt kepe late set plātes kepe thē frō velpertyn raynes from windes namely in haruest for it is not great difficulte in vere against the commyng of wynter set or sticke about the setling many bowes that the northen wynde or greatnes of other wyndes destroye it not put donge medled which strawe about the stock toward the roote of a good thicknes that frost snow congyle nat on the rote and make a depe valey about the rote the space of .vi. or .vii. fote that the water abide not and frese about the rote in haruest that is betwene somer wynter that whan winter cometh it may be filled with donge and solet it stand al the winter and in ver put vnder the dong newe earth and cut a way al the vnprofytable branches mayke it cleane aboute the stocke and the rotes from wormes scurfes and mosses and euyll wedes goinge aboute the braynches all the close of thyne or charde wole be set a bout withe other hithe trees that beare on frute that the fleuers mygte be kepte safe from windes And beware that no fruyte be gathered of no tree before the tyme for that is a ryght greate and at preuy harmyng to the tree The maner of graffyng The great stocke must be chosen in good ground and it must be smothe and euen and cut it with out the earth the length of a fout or more yf it be as great as thi thombe or moore if it be greater loke that the cutyng be euen ouerthwarte the stocke and a side and it must be clouen a boue in the middes of the pith the length of two fyngers breade and in the clyfte set thy graffe whiche must be chosen of the best tre The stocke is of the chefe graffe that standeth right vpwarde that hath a knot of the forne yere And an inche beneth that saide knot cut thy graffe white it on both sydes euen in maner of a wedge as farre as it shal go in to the clifte of the stocke it must be so euen twhiten that the ayre may not com be twene the clyfte and the graffe and then close it withe good tēperate earthe a boute the graffe for defence of raine and wether If thou wilt graffe diuers frutes vpon one stocke that hath as many braunches as thou wylte haue graffes on in euere braūche set agraffe in maner fourme as it is sayde before euermore chose thy graffe on the sunne side of the tree that beareth it next the top yf you may than mayst thou graffe dyuerse frutes in one clifte but none of them maye be thycker then other as thy reason wyll tell them the workyng To haue fruite without cores loke thou haue a sufficient graffe stocke there which as I sayde be fore chose a graffe of good merle tree and cut it on thys maner that the end of the graffe that was vpwarde next the fyrmament must be twhiten like the neder of a comyn graffe the nether ende turned vpward it is to be donne slelye this rule is trewe in all trees that haue stones
