is appofed to the former , when no wood is cut frorri 

 i he ftock: for ihoulder-grafdng 'tis required, that the 

 iio:k exceed no: in bignefe;, for then the bark being 

 taken from it there will not be a right application 

 of the fip-channells of Cyon and [lock required in the 

 definition of grafting, the disbarked place in the Rock 

 necelfarily being much greater then that in the grbfa 

 Yet if the (lock be noc 3 inches circumference it will 

 do: j very well. The one of thefe wayes is called 

 fhoulder-grafting y becaufe the upper end of the 

 downright cut is intended and made fit to leane as 

 it were upon the fhoulder of the Hock : The other 

 Whip-g rafting , becaufe the operator only makes his 

 ftreight-do-vn right cue and tarryes not to indent it 

 at afl. 



Some think this way fie only for great flocks : but 

 I have grafted feed lings this way, Co fmall that the 

 Cyon was put in like a Wedg , and was very even 

 to the Hock en each fide , neither ftosks nor Cyons 

 being neer an inch round : but if fmall plants are this 

 way grafted , they muft be tyed about after the for- 

 mer m. inner 11 fed in ilioulder-grafting ; the wound 

 made by clewing is verv quickly made up, and ce- 

 mented by the fip in grafting a young Hock , whereas 

 in old it is quite contrary,
