The Orchard. 587 





fo are incident vnto this tree, that both hodie and branches are much fubiecl vnto 

 cancker, which will quickely eate it round, and kill it ; bcfides it will haue many bun- 

 ches, or tuberous ("welling* in many places, which grow as it were fcabby or rough,

 whereby it may be much increafed. But this benefit may be had of it, to recompencc 

 the former faults, That being a dwarfc Tree, whatfoeuer fruit fhall be grafted on it,

 is a pretty way to haue Pippins, Pomewaters, or any other fort of Apples (as I haue 

 had my felfe, and alfo feene with others) growing low, that if any will, they may make 

 a hedge rowe of thefe low fruits, planted in an Orchard all along by a walke fide : but 

 take this Caueat, if you will auoide the danger of the cancker and knots, which fpoile 

 the tree, to graft it hard vnto the ground, that therby you may giue as little of the nature 

 of the ftock thereunto as poffibly you can, which wil vndoubtedly help it very much.
