 and wrap them up in wet Mofs or freih leaves, to 

 keep them cool. 



If the Bud take , in the March "after cut off all 

 thatgroweth above it, Gripping away all theEuds 

 that come forth elfevvherc, or at the leaft all favc one: 

 fome conceive one neceflary for the drawing up the 

 fap, 



Choofe ftrong Buds for Inoculation,- and ftrong 

 Cyons for grafting, and put them always on a fmooth 

 place of the flock* 



Any thing may be propagated by Inoculation, un- 

 lefs the flendernefs and weaknefs of the Shield hin- 

 der,that can be by grafting. Apples and Pears, though 

 feldom Inoculated, certainly take. I have fometimes 

 ufed to cut off the (hi eld with a {harp knife fiat, with 

 part of the Wood thereto adjoyning, and put it in* 

 ib; But this way, though many take, efpecially ia 

 Apples, yet the ordinary way feems better and more 

 certiin. Some take off Shields without a Quill, 

 flipping them off with their fingers ; but this is the 

 re;dy way to leave the root of the Bud behinde on 

 the Cyon, which being wanting* the other part of the 

 Shield is unprofitable. 



A pair of Compares made flat at the ends, and 

 fturp with edges, is an apt Inftrument to cut away 

 Bark for Inoculation, both for a true breadth and di- 

 ftance all at once ; and fo likewife with the fame you 

 may take off the bud truly to fit the fame place again
