then to make the inner fide thicker a very little, that 

 fo it may preferve the outfide from being fo pinch 't, 

 as to make the bark of the Cyon fit loofe, and not re- 

 ceive the fap from the Hock into the common chan- 

 nel, in fuch manner as is requifite for the begetting of 

 a continuation between them. 



There are other ways of grafting very excellent? \ 

 as in a great tree , to prepare your Cyon as for the 

 fhoulder-graft , and then to take off fo much of the 

 bark , the head being before cut off as that the flope 

 may juft fit the disbarked place, as in fosrc of the fi- 

 gures of Inoculation. Sometimes the Cyon being fo 

 prepar'd we raife up the bark,as in the other figures of 

 Inoculation; but to cut it off fit,I count the'beft way, 

 and have often practized with univeifall fucrefle. 



Ablactation is the fame with grafting , faving th;t 

 in that way the Cyon remaines on its own ftock , and 

 ©n the fto:k you grjt together. For the flock you 

 graftybeing planted by the tree from which you have 

 your Cyon , you disbarke and cut the Cyon, fo that 

 the inward part of its bark may anfvver the likedif- 

 barked place in the (lock, Co they being bound up to- 

 gether , and not feperated till you are fure they are 

 furely incorporated , at which time the Cyon is cut 

 from its own , and lives only by the other tto c k. 



It is an ordinary imagination that by this way of 

 Ablactation , Heterogeneous conjunctions may be 

 made to profper , but thofe that confider that the 

 caufe of the impoHibility of diffimilar plants thrive- 

 ing by any way of Infition , is not the difficulty of 

 their rirft uniting , but the ciifability of the root and 

 (lock to nouriih the head with convenient nouriih- 

 meat, will not eanly admit fuch a fancy ; Pears upon
