plantation_n too_o long_o you_o be_v also_o to_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o graft_v too_o low_a lest_o the_o tree_n which_o appletree_n be_v very_o subject_a to_o shall_v take_v root_n above_o the_o graft_n which_o shall_v it_o so_o fall_v out_o it_o will_v no_o more_o be_v a_o dwarf-tree_n but_o will_v assume_v the_o nature_n and_o form_n of_o a_o ordinary_a apple_n 16._o all_o the_o same_o rule_n be_v also_o to_o be_v observe_v for_o apricock_n plumb_n peach_n and_o cherry-tree_n when_o you_o graft_v they_o in_o cleave_v to_o raise_v tall_a tree_n except_v that_o you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n to_o graft_v they_o soon_o and_o in_o the_o decrease_n of_o the_o moon_n in_o january_n or_o february_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o most_o of_o the_o forename_a fruit_n especial_o peach_n delight_v more_o in_o inoculation_n but_o in_o case_n you_o purpose_n to_o extend_v they_o into_o espallier_n or_o to_o plant_v they_o in_o shrub_n you_o be_v then_o to_o observe_v the_o rule_n already_o prescribe_v for_o pear-tree_n design_v for_o those_o figure_n 17._o graft_v or_o inoculate_v in_o escutcheon_n be_v proper_a for_o all_o stone-fruit_n but_o in_o truth_n less_o for_o the_o cherry_n than_o any_o other_o by_o reason_n that_o they_o usual_o spew_v out_o much_o gum_n from_o the_o part_n which_o be_v open_v to_o receive_v the_o shield_n which_o very_o often_o suffocate_v the_o eye_n or_o bud_n from_o put_v out_o in_o the_o spring_n for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o inoculate_v cherry_n in_o the_o decrease_n of_o may_n or_o june_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o escutcheon_n put_v in_o at_o those_o season_n immediate_o sprout_n upon_o the_o inoculation_n you_o may_v also_o make_v use_n of_o this_o way_n of_o graft_v for_o other_o fruit_n but_o not_o with_o so_o certain_a success_n and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o be_v always_o to_o cut_v the_o stock_n at_o the_o same_o time_n you_o inoculate_v such_o as_o choose_v to_o graft_v after_o this_o manner_n be_v evermore_o to_o take_v heed_n never_o to_o place_v two_o graff_n over_o against_o one_o another_o on_o both_o side_n the_o tree_n by_o reason_n that_o one_o can_v afterward_o

part_n of_o the_o old_a wood_n betwixt_o they_o wherefore_o you_o be_v always_o to_o place_v the_o graft_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o one_o be_v always_o high_o and_o the_o other_o low_a 18._o when_o you_o have_v inoculate_v a_o tree_n you_o be_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n to_o cut_v away_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o stock_n above_o till_o the_o winter_n be_v past_a and_o when_o in_o the_o spring_n the_o eye_n of_o the_o graft_n shall_v begin_v to_o sprout_v you_o be_v then_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o stock_n two_o or_o three_o inch_n above_o but_o no_o near_a for_o fear_v of_o kill_v the_o graft_n for_o want_v of_o sap_n to_o nourish_v it_o and_o the_o follow_a year_n when_o the_o graft_n shall_v have_v well_o retake_v you_o may_v cut_v away_o the_o stock_n close_o by_o the_o shield_n 19_o inoculation_n be_v evermore_o to_o be_v perform_v or_o in_o the_o decrease_n of_o july_n or_o sometime_o in_o june_n if_o it_o be_v pretty_a well_o advance_v into_o the_o follow_a month_n of_o july_n for_o you_o be_v always_o to_o inoculate_v at_o these_o time_n or_o else_o in_o the_o end_n of_o july_n or_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o august_n 20._o if_o you_o shall_v perceive_v that_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o escutcheon_n will_v put_v out_o before_o winter_n you_o may_v check_v it_o by_o early_o slacken_v the_o ligature_n of_o the_o escutcheon_n or_o shield_n 21._o for_o ligament_n cotton_n or_o woollen_a thread_n be_v much_o better_a than_o that_o of_o hemp_n or_o flax_n both_o by_o reason_n it_o do_v not_o press_v so_o hard_o upon_o nor_o so_o eat_v into_o the_o bark_n and_o that_o it_o stretch_v and_o give_v way_n as_o the_o branch_n swell_v and_o increase_v 22._o cherry-tree_n graft_v in_o cleave_v prosper_v exceed_o well_o as_o also_o in_o escutcheon_n if_o inoculate_v at_o midsummer_n upon_o the_o red_a merisier_n for_o the_o black_a cherry_n be_v not_o so_o well_o store_v with_o sap_n and_o they_o prosper_v better_o after_o this_o manner_n than_o if_o plant_v upon_o old_a root_a stock_n especial_o if_o you_o will_v raise_v they_o in_o standard_n which_o have_v also_o the_o same_o effect_n in_o bigarotier_n and_o griotier_n only_o when_o you_o design_v they_o for_o dwarf-tree_n you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n to_o graft_v they_o very_o low_a and_o to_o check_v the_o graft_n so_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o shall_v begin_v to_o put_v out_o to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o may_v spread_v into_o branch_n and_o the_o tree_n may_v form_v his_o head_n from_o below_o 23._o apricock_n be_v usual_o graft_v upon_o stock_n of_o their_o own_o kind_n raise_v from_o the_o stone_n as_o also_o upon_o plumb_n peach_n and_o almond_n and_o prosper_v well_o upon_o they_o all_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o will_v also_o take_v upon_o the_o mulberry_n and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o frost_n be_v so_o graft_v that_o sort_n of_o tree_n be_v natural_o exceed_v slow_a and_o not_o incline_v to_o put_v out_o till_o after_o the_o frosty_a season_n but_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o believe_v that_o two_o so_o different_a sap_v can_v ever_o agree_v and_o mix_v together_o and_o several_a who_o have_v try_v the_o experiment_n have_v lose_v their_o labour_n 24._o the_o peach_n desire_v to_o be_v graft_v upon_o a_o plumb_n a_o peach_n raise_v from_o the_o stone_n a_o almond_n or_o a_o apricot_n and_o chief_o delight_v in_o inoculation_n you_o may_v also_o raise_v very_o good_a peach_n from_o the_o stone_n and_o there_o be_v certain_a sort_n as_o the_o peach_n of_o pau_n and_o several_a other_o that_o succeed_v every_o whit_n as_o well_o and_o bear_v as_o good_a fruit_n from_o the_o stone_n as_o by_o graft_v those_o graft_v upon_o a_o plumb_n prosper_v marvellous_o well_o but_o the_o root_n of_o the_o plumb-stock_n be_v a_o

they_o very_o unwilling_o retake_v when_o transplant_v for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v much_o better_a to_o sow_v the_o almond_n in_o the_o station_n themselves_o you_o design_n for_o the_o

upon_o other_o peach_n do_v yet_o bear_v long_o and_o better_a fruit_n than_o any_o other_o because_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n they_o more_o easy_o unite_v and_o better_o agree_v together_o but_o they_o be_v much_o short_a live_v than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n the_o apricot_n stock_n be_v also_o very_o proper_a for_o a_o peach_n especial_o for_o early_a peach_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v

other_o to_o graft_v upon_o and_o such_o as_o be_v curious_a in_o their_o plantation_n will_v never_o store_v their_o nursery_n with_o any_o other_o where_o those_o two_o sort_n be_v to_o be_v have_v
