of_o stone-fruit_n will_v be_v plant_v or_o set_v of_o cion_n and_o cold_a ground_n and_o place_n of_o good_a earth_n and_o likewise_o in_o high_a or_o hilly_a place_n dry_a and_o well_o in_o the_o

three_o way_n of_o graft_v this_o sort_n of_o graft_v be_v very_o subtle_a witty_a and_o ready_a and_o be_v do_v as_o follow_v go_v to_o a_o smooth_a apple_n or_o pear_n tree_n in_o april_n when_o the_o tree_n get_v liquor_n and_o seek_v a_o branch_n which_o have_v green_a eye_n and_o see_v that_o the_o same_o be_v less_o than_o your_o little_a finger_n and_o tear_v it_o from_o the_o tree_n and_o where_o you_o see_v that_o the_o green_a sprout_n will_v come_v off_o there_o cut_v they_o off_o whole_o and_o cleanse_v the_o middle_n there_o of_o that_o the_o little_a red_a at_o the_o wood_n may_v turn_v about_o and_o draw_v it_o not_o off_o until_o you_o come_v unto_o another_o good_a pear_n or_o apple_n tree_n and_o seek_v there_o another_o branch_n of_o the_o same_o bigness_n that_o the_o other_o be_v and_o cut_v it_o off_o and_o take_v from_o it_o likewise_o the_o red_a as_o far_o as_o you_o will_v put_v they_o again_o and_o look_v where_o the_o branch_n join_v that_o they_o may_v well_o sit_v together_o upon_o the_o top_n and_o tie_v the_o same_o place_n gentle_o and_o well_o with_o a_o little_a bark_n behind_o and_o before_o that_o the_o water_n may_v not_o hurt_v they_o in_o the_o first_o year_n it_o bring_v forth_o leaf_n and_o branch_n in_o the_o second_o flower_n which_o you_o may_v break_v off_o for_o the_o sprout_n be_v yet_o too_o tender_a so_o that_o it_o may_v bear_v no_o fruit_n and_o in_o the_o three_o year_n it_o bring_v flower_n and_o fruit_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o may_v graft_v divers_a kind_n of_o pear_n and_o apple_n upon_o one_o tree_n i_o have_v likewise_o set_v such_o sprout_n upon_o wild_a stump_n and_o they_o have_v prosper_v the_o four_o way_n of_o graft_v be_v how_o bud_n be_v transport_v and_o bind_v upon_o another_o tree_n like_v as_o a_o plaster_n be_v tie_v to_o a_o man_n body_n this_o sort_n of_o graft_v be_v call_v in_o latin_a emplastrum_fw-la we_o read_v of_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o graft_v which_o be_v call_v in_o latin_a abducellum_n and_o it_o be_v much_o like_a unto_o this_o sort_n wherefore_o we_o will_v only_o speak_v of_o it_o be_v do_v after_o this_o sort_n when_o you_o see_v upon_o a_o great_a fruitful_a bough_n a_o bud_n which_o will_v prosper_v without_o doubt_n and_o will_v feign_v plant_v it_o upon_o another_o tree_n take_v a_o sharp_a knife_n and_o lift_v the_o bark_n up_o two_o finger_n breadth_n that_o the_o bud_n be_v not_o hurt_v then_o go_v to_o another_o tree_n upon_o the_o which_o you_o will_v graft_v and_o put_v into_o a_o convenient_a place_n a_o like_a hole_n into_o the_o bark_n and_o put_v the_o same_o bud_n with_o the_o bark_n into_o it_o and_o tie_v it_o with_o dung_n or_o with_o a_o clout_n that_o have_v lie_v in_o a_o dunghill_n over_o the_o cut_n that_o it_o may_v be_v keep_v from_o the_o outward_a damage_n of_o weather_n and_o for_o a_o especial_a nourishment_n and_o keep_n of_o the_o inner_a juice_n then_o cut_v off_o the_o branch_n round_o about_o it_o that_o the_o mother_n may_v the_o better_o nourish_v the_o new_a son_n within_o twenty_o day_n after_o take_v away_o the_o band_n so_o that_o you_o see_v that_o the_o strange_a bud_n have_v prosper_v and_o join_v himself_o with_o the_o tree_n this_o may_v be_v do_v in_o march_n when_o the_o bark_n come_v easy_o from_o the_o tree_n also_o in_o april_n may_n and_o june_n and_o yet_o she_o prosper_v both_o before_o and_o after_o a_o time_n when_o you_o may_v convenient_o find_v such_o bud_n this_o sort_n of_o plant_v prosper_v best_a in_o a_o willow_n tree_n or_o such_o like_a which_o be_v pierce_v through_o and_o be_v do_v after_o this_o sort_n the_o five_o way_n when_o you_o pierce_v a_o willow_n stick_v with_o a_o sharp_a plercer_n see_v that_o between_o every_o hole_n be_v leave_v the_o space_n of_o one_o foot_n and_o prick_v therein_o branch_n a_o little_a scrape_v and_o put_v the_o stick_n into_o a_o ditch_n so_o that_o the_o branch_n stand_v upright_o one_o part_n of_o the_o stick_n remain_v over_o the_o earth_n and_o within_o a_o year_n after_o take_v it_o out_o of_o the_o ditch_n and_o cut_v the_o stick_n asunder_o so_o find_v you_o the_o branch_n full_a of_o root_n and_o put_v every_o one_o into_o a_o hole_n in_o the_o ground_n and_o it_o be_v fit_a the_o hole_n be_v stop_v with_o loom_n or_o with_o wax_n some_o do_v take_v in_o march_n a_o fresh_a beech_n tree_n which_o be_v of_o a_o man_n thickness_n and_o pierce_v he_o overthwart_o with_o main_a and_o great_a hole_n and_o small_a hole_n till_o unto_o the_o lowermost_a bark_n or_o quite_o through_o then_o take_v sprout_n or_o bough_n which_o be_v as_o big_a and_o small_a that_o they_o may_v fit_v into_o the_o hole_n and_o when_o you_o will_v put_v they_o into_o the_o beech_n stump_n you_o must_v scrape_v the_o uppermost_a bark_n off_o until_o the_o green_a and_o no_o further_o then_o the_o bough_n must_v remain_v into_o the_o beech_n the_o sprout_n must_v stand_v a_o foot_n or_o somewhat_o less_o asunder_o then_o keep_v your_o beech_n stump_n with_o the_o sprout_n in_o a_o fresh_a ground_n and_o scant_v a_o soot_n deep_a you_o must_v first_o maim_v the_o sprout_n that_o they_o may_v not_o flourish_v then_o the_o next_o march_n ensue_v dig_v it_o out_o with_o the_o sprout_n and_o cut_v it_o a_o sunder_o with_o a_o see_v and_o every_o block_n which_o be_v cut_v
