Notes (127. 8—140. 2). 143 



8. in processed vnwares. 



15. 5laue\ stand (clearly not the right word). In I. 32, I. R. has the spelling 

 sleaue. So also in sect. 133, 1. 6. 



128. 21. I. R. omits and bolneth ; in 1. 29, he alters bolne to rise. 



129. 10. to leuse\ so looseneth. 



11. gete] got. But geie is the old form of the pp. ; A.S. geten. 



130. 4. cassesi Kasses. I, R. omits or wydes. 



5. slauyngesi sleanings {sic). The form popeler reminds me that I have heard 

 the large poplar-tree at ' Hyde-park Comer ' in Cambridge called * the popular 

 tree.' See 1. 23. 



12, 16. osyerde wethy'\ K%\tx^'^'\\\i-j. 



131. 7. kydde\ kid or faggot 9, 16. brenne\ bume. 

 14. to peruse theml persist. 



132. 4. I. R. omits ' and also the yues.' 



5. bowe'] hewe. But bowe refers to the bending of it before it is cut ; the bent 

 piece is called the byghte in the next line. I. R. alters bygkte to bough. 



18. bredel breadth (which is the later form). 



21. xvi.'] one and twenty (by misreading xvi. as xxi.). 



133. I. gyse"] vse of men, 



6. slaue'] sleaue ; and in 1. 16. 10. kyni] the seller. 

 II. an] one (which is the meaning intended). 



14. ouer] vpper. 



134. 7. garches\ garthes. In ed. 1534, it is plainly garches ; but confusion 

 between c and t is extremely common, as they were written nearly alike. 



18. a greatte\hy gx&2X. The two phrases have different senses; a greate Tatxa% 

 ' in the lump,' without cutting or dressing the trees, as appears from the next line. 

 But by great means ' by wholesale' ; which contradicts 1. I. 



136. 6. graffe] graft (throughout ; which is the later form). 



10. I. R. omits the narozver kyr/e, and ; to avoid the word kyr/e. 



137. 10. pyrre-stocke] Peare-tree stocke. 



14. I. R. says— a Crab-tree stocke is good, but the Apple-tree stocke it-selfe is 

 much better. 



138. I. lanses] branches. 10. notkynge] any thing. 

 26. marie}'] marie. 29. cleauynge] jilace clouen. 



30. for chynynge of the claye] for feare the clay through drines should cleaue or 

 riue. 



33. clayenge] cleaning (which is clearly wrong). 



36. I. R. adds — And three grafts are enough for any stock whatsoeuer, and 

 sooner they will couer the head then foure, fiue, or sixe. 



139. 6. tenaunte] tennant. 9. ponch] punch. 

 10. stop] scope, one syde] other side. 



19. clyppe] slip. 20. After growe, I. R. adds — and to fence it close about with 

 some thick-set hedge. 



After this section I. R. inserts 'Chapter 17. Howe to graft by leafe, causing 

 all manner of fruit to grow vpon one tree.' His method is to insert what we 

 should now call a slip, with a stalk and leaf growing from it. 



140. 2. scyenees] syens. In fact, scyences (= scions-es) is a double plural, and 

 was probably a provincial term, like nesteses or nesses for nests. So also fairies-es
