myddes therof for nothynge, and let the inner syde, that 

 shall be set in-to the stocke, be a lyttel thynner than the 



12 vtter syde, and the nether po^Tite of the graffe the 



thynner : than proferre thy graffe in-to the stocke ; and '^^f(^°*„*'' 

 if it go not close, than cut the graffe or the stocke, tyll ^^ "°<=i'- 

 they close cleane, that thou canste not put the edge of 



16 thy knyfe on neyther syde betwene the stocke and the [Foi. 56*.] 

 graffe, and sette them so that the toppes of the graffe 

 bende a lyttell outewarde, and see that the wodde of the 

 graffe be set mete with the wodde of the stocke, and the 



20 sappe of the stocke maye renne streyght and euen with 



the sappe of the graffe. For the barke of the graffe is ^e bari: of 

 neuer soo thicke as the barke of the stocke. And ther- thinner than 



that of the 



fore thou mayste not sette the barkes mete on the vtter stock. 



24 syde, but on the inner syde : than puUe awaye thy wedge, 

 and it wyl stande moche faster. Than take toughe cleye, 

 lyke marley, and ley it vppon the stocke-heed, and with 

 thy fynger laye it close vnto the graffe, and a l}i;tel vnder 



28 the heed, to kepe it moyst, and that no wynde come into 



the stocke at the cleauynge. Than take mosse, and laye Cover with 



moss, and 



therv'pon, for chynynge of the claye : than take a baste bind with 

 of whyte wethy or elme, or halfe a br}-er, and bynd the 



32 mosse, the clay, and the graffe together, but be well ware, 

 that thou breake not thy graffe, neyther in the clayenge, 

 nor in the byndjTige ; and thou muste set some-thinge 

 by the graffe, that crowes, nor byrdes do not lyght vpon 



36 thy graffe, for if they do, they wil breake h}Tn, &c.

There is an other maner of graffinge than this, and 

 soner done, & soner to growe : but it is more ieoperdy for 

 winde whan it begjnneth to growe. Thou muste sawe Another 

 4 thy stocke, and pare the heed therof, as thou diddest grafting, 

 before, but cleue it not : than take thy graffe, and cut it in 

 the ioynt to the myddes, and make the tenaunte therof
