vulgar_a ground_n as_o also_o in_o the_o fine_a mould_n i_o inquire_v slip_n of_o several_a tree_n that_o grow_v without_o graft_n and_o bear_v several_a fruit_n of_o their_o natural_a kind_n these_o i_o place_v each_o kind_n round_o about_o the_o verge_n of_o the_o several_a hole_n by_o diligent_a enquiry_n the_o first_o spring_n i_o find_v fourteen_o several_a sort_n of_o these_o natural_a apple_n the_o fruit_n much_o differ_v in_o taste_n shape_n and_o colour_n some_o only_a green_a and_o sowrish_v some_o red-strake_v some_o particoloured_a and_o very_o pleasant_a some_o table-fruit_n in_o summer_n some_o winter_n fruit_n some_o cider_n fruit_n of_o all_o these_o the_o kentish_a codling_n be_v by_o odds_o the_o worst_a not_o many_o better_a than_o the_o french_a cornel_n have_v place_v these_o slip_n in_o the_o border_n of_o the_o hole_n at_o a_o foot_n distance_n i_o fill_v up_o the_o hole_n with_o a_o fine_a kind_n of_o garden-mould_n carry_v thither_o in_o barrow_n this_o i_o raise_v not_o in_o tump_n for_o i_o foresee_v the_o inconvenience_n that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o harbour_n for_o ant_n or_o pismire_n i_o keep_v it_o also_o at_o a_o equal_a level_n that_o the_o rain_n may_v not_o lodge_v there_o and_o corrupt_v the_o young_a root_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o this_o fine_a mould_n in_o the_o most_o temperate_a weather_n i_o do_v monthly_a from_o autumn_n to_o the_o next_o spring_n set_v kernel_n of_o the_o fine_a sort_n of_o apple_n with_o delineate_v in_o a_o sciograph_n the_o several_a kind_n in_o several_a place_n i_o now_o find_v that_o the_o kernel_n of_o apple_n graft_v on_o crab-stock_n prove_v not_o all_o crab_n nor_o as_o i_o guess_v altogether_o of_o the_o kind_n of_o that_o apple_n whence_o the_o kernel_n be_v take_v 2_o that_o as_o the_o mould_n be_v ●●ner_n where_o they_o first_o grow_v so_o the_o fruit_n seem_v more_o civil_a and_o in_o course_n ground_n they_o degenerate_a towards_o the_o crab_n our_o neighbour_n for_o a_o nursery_n sow_v the_o dross_n or_o must_v as_o we_o call_v it_o of_o apple_n ground_n in_o a_o cider-mill_n but_o i_o have_v note_v the_o fair_a kernel_n to_o be_v bruise_v in_o the_o mill_n the_o remainder_n be_v small_a and_o sow_v in_o course_n land_n become_v a_o kind_n of_o crab_n and_o that_o the_o kernel_n of_o natural_a apple_n do_v very_o much_o propend_v to_o the_o kind_n of_o which_o they_o be_v descend_v this_o be_v neglect_v and_o therefore_o unknown_a to_o our_o neighbour_n who_o have_v no_o need_n of_o this_o curiosity_n as_o be_v so_o addict_v to_o graft_n that_o they_o take_v not_o notice_n of_o any_o natural_a apple_n except_o the_o jennet_n moil_n the_o kydoddin_n the_o sweeting_n and_o the_o french_a cornel_n which_o be_v find_v in_o all_o place_n it_o be_v sure_a that_o kernel_n of_o the_o same_o apple_n in_o a_o far_o differ_v soil_n do_v produce_v a_o different_a apple_n but_o as_o i_o say_v still_o with_o some_o inclination_n to_o the_o original_n if_o it_o be_v the_o kernel_n of_o a_o ungraft_a apple_n and_o this_o may_v advertise_v the_o best_a season_n of_o design_v variety_n namely_o in_o application_n of_o choice_a compost_n to_o the_o very_a kernel_n as_o gab._n plat_n prescribe_v exp._n 14._o pag._n 210._o of_o the_o addition_n to_o the_o excellent_a legacy_n all_o other_o story_n of_o pour_v liquor_n into_o the_o bark_n or_o bulk_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v effete_a and_o idle_a fancy_n for_o nine_o day_n wonder_n 3_o i_o find_v the_o truth_n and_o that_o much_o more_o may_v be_v add_v to_o lawsons_n rule_n of_o distinguish_v the_o hopefulness_n of_o the_o fruit_n by_o the_o first_o leave_v of_o the_o yearling_n plant_n for_o a_o short_a and_o dark-green_a leaf_n prognosticate_v a_o crabbed_a fruit_n with_o a_o large_a leaf_n and_o thick_a but_o also_o dark-green_a i_o have_v find_v a_o good_a winter-apple_n but_o the_o stock_n hardy_a to_o endure_v a_o stiff_a clay-ground_n a_o fady_n willowish_a broad_a leaf_n note_v a_o flat_a insipid_a apple_n as_o the_o kentish_a coddle_v which_o hold_v out_o well_o against_o blast_n a_o pale_a green_a as_o the_o poppinjay_n or_o barbery_n leaf_n special_o if_o the_o leaf_n be_v limber_a also_o note_v a_o delicate_a fruit_n and_o the_o broad_a the_o leaf_n the_o fair_a that_o fruit_n a_o wrinkle_a leaf_n neither_o very_o dark_a nor_o very_o light_a prove_v red-strake_v crab-stock_n have_v reddish_a top_n more_o particular_n will_v occur_v by_o ordinary_a observation_n 4_o for_o the_o incredible_a durance_n of_o appletree_n to_o a_o thousand_o year_n i_o have_v upon_o much_o experience_n and_o many_o reason_n much_o abate_v the_o presumption_n of_o my_o censure_n it_o be_v certain_o true_a as_o gabriel_n plat_n in_o the_o foresay_a place_n note_v that_o if_o a_o man_n aim_v at_o his_o present_a profit_n then_o graft_n be_v his_o way_n but_o if_o he_o aim_v at_o the_o profit_n of_o his_o posterity_n than_o it_o be_v best_a not_o to_o graft_v at_o all_o this_o i_o add_v that_o most_o ungraffed_a apple_n be_v apt_a by_o the_o overweight_n of_o their_o fruit_n to_o lean_v towards_o the_o ground_n and_o i_o have_v see_v many_o of_o they_o quell_v quite_o to_o the_o ground_n where_o they_o do_v renew_v their_o strength_n and_o get_v up_o again_o into_o many_o trunk_n in_o a_o continue_a order_n answerable_a to_o the_o old_a fable_n of_o the_o giant_n antaeus_n every_o aspire_a trunk_n of_o some_o of_o these_o natural_a apple_n be_v much_o more_o last_a than_o any_o graft_a fruit-tree_n and_o many_o very_a age_a people_n have_v assure_v i_o that_o they_o have_v discern_v no_o difference_n either_o of_o their_o growth_n or_o decay_n in_o their_o whole_a age_n from_o their_o childhood_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o upon_o my_o credit_n the_o wonder_n of_o one_o tree_n of_o this_o kind_n now_o grow_v in_o ocle_n pitchard_n the_o fruit_n be_v not_o very_o sappy_a nor_o pleasant_a the_o leaf_n dark-green_n and_o stiff_a my_o know_a friend_n for_o trial_n make_v of_o that_o tree_n five_o of_o our_o large_a hogshead_n consist_v of_o sixty_o four_o statute_n gallon_n of_o cider_n without_o the_o mixture_n of_o any_o water_n it_o ordinary_o yield_v four_o hogshead_n and_o seldom_o or_o as_o they_o assure_v i_o that_o dwell_v there_o never_o fail_v of_o three_o yet_o few_o of_o our_o countryman_n have_v hear_v of_o it_o or_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o this_o tree_n have_v have_v very_o many_o uprising_n so_o that_o i_o conceive_v it_o have_v be_v many_o hundred_o of_o year_n make_v this_o progress_n my_o dear_a alliance_n mr._n thomas_n taylor_n be_v owner_n of_o it_o many_o year_n and_o dwell_v always_o in_o that_o parish_n he_o be_v now_o past_o eighty_o year_n old_a of_o firm_a strength_n and_o fresh_a memory_n yet_o he_o affirm_v that_o he_o never_o can_v discern_v any_o change_n in_o the_o tree_n and_o his_o wife_n for_o many_o year_n try_v to_o plant_v the_o branch_n but_o be_v utter_o discourage_v by_o their_o slow_a motion_n i_o have_v for_o three_o year_n try_v some_o branch_n which_o seem_v only_o to_o keep_v a_o faint_a life_n with_o very_o little_a progress_n the_o ground_n on_o which_o this_o great_a tree_n grow_v be_v pasture_n and_o seem_v not_o in_o the_o age_n of_o man_n to_o have_v be_v break_v up_o or_o relieve_v with_o compost_n or_o fresh_a mould_n which_o may_v show_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hardy_a plant_n so_o much_o upon_o the_o adventure_n of_o my_o own_o credit_n which_o may_v be_v examine_v by_o a_o thousand_o witness_n to_o confirm_v the_o credit_n or_o rather_o guess_v and_o proposal_n of_o mr._n lawson_n 5_o for_o duration_n of_o the_o fruit-tree_n much_o care_n must_v be_v have_v in_o the_o removal_n which_o shall_v be_v soon_o after_o the_o leaf_n be_v fall_v when_o the_o autumnal_a reins_n have_v soften_v the_o earth_n at_o the_o root_n that_o the_o root_n be_v not_o bruise_v or_o wound_v in_o the_o removal_n and_o then_o the_o tree_n shall_v keep_v the_o same_o position_n towards_o the_o heaven_n the_o root_n lay_v also_o in_o the_o same_o posture_n the_o small_a fiber_n or_o beard_a root_n rather_o cut_v at_o the_o end_n than_o crumple_v up_o and_o the_o earth_n in_o which_o the_o stock_n be_v lay_v somewhat_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n but_o better_v and_o mellow_a not_o with_o undigested_a muck_n but_o with_o fine_a mould_n and_o shovel_v of_o the_o fold_n if_o the_o root_n be_v cut_v or_o bruise_v to_o the_o same_o proportion_n the_o branch_n must_v be_v lop_v in_o a_o graft_a plant_n every_o bow_n shall_v be_v lop_v at_o the_o very_a top_n in_o apple_n and_o pear_n not_o in_o cherry_n and_o plum_n in_o a_o natural_a plant_n the_o bow_n shall_v not_o at_o all_o be_v lop_v but_o some_o take_v
