like plants will with eafe take, and continue in good 

 growth longer then fuch time as is required that the 

 Cyon fhould depend upon the mother plant in Ab- 

 lactation for the fattening of it till ^cementation be 

 made ; But after a perfect conjunction , and great 

 ilioots fpring out , they (almoli conflantly notwith- 

 flanding the greateft care) will dye , which is an e- 

 vident hgne that this way can adminifter no help , it 

 only providing that nourishment be not wanting to 

 the firft moneths,and not fecuring them from the dan-

 triment for their maintenance and growth. 



N. *8 r What Plants take on different h^ds. 



This is a generali rule for grafting , Inoculation, 

 Ablactation, and conjunction by penetration, or any 

 fuch way of propagation , that the Cyon or thing im- 

 planted be of like nature to the flock, to tell what 

 neerneffe in every kind is enough, is matter of great 

 Art; 'Tiskno.vn that Plums will not grow upon 

 Cherries, nor Pearesupon Apples for many years, 

 though for a while they may profper. 



I find that divers plants will take by enarching or 

 Ablactation, that will not take by grafting; fo Grapes, 

 as the early red upon the great Fox-Grape ; Apricots 

 alfo and Peaches , which being fecured upon their 

 own flocks, will admit implantation unto another 

 alfo,and take unto it, which by grafting I could never 

 bring them to. 



The ftrangeft conjunctions that we obferve to agree, 

 are the Whitethorn with the Pear , Quinces with the 

 Pear, the Pear with the Quinces, the Medlar w/th 

 the Whitethorn , the Apricots with Plums that are
