ElolTomor Fruit* which ftanding on the old Wood, 

 it may be thought that the pedal or ttalk of the Fruit, 

 ftands immediately on the Wood, and th.it there was 

 no, Spring interceding. Sometimes the Bloffoms of 

 the fameTree, ftand both on the Wood of the pre- 

 fent and antecedent Spring, as it is frequently feen 

 in KentiiTi Codlings, Nurfe Gardens, great bearing 

 Cherries. Eut where ever the Bloffoms are, and 

 there are many Buds fitted and prepared for bearing, 

 they are difcerned by the skilful Gardiner, and may 

 be feen by any perfon, for thofe are more full in their 

 {hutting -up than other Buds are, arid Ibndnot fo 

 clofe made to the ftem of the Branch whereon they 

 grow, and contain more finall leaves in their Body 

 then other Buds, being, as I apprehend, the actual 

 rudiment of the enfuing BloiTom : Such Boughs there- 

 fore, whereon plenty of thefe full made Buds, or in- 

 choate BloiToms arc feen, the Gardiner fpares, if he 

 is wife, for the prefent year, and (where he may) 

 prunes off fuch whereon he fees no fuch propenfion 

 to fruitfulnefs.

 up a multitude of Stalks from the fame Root: The 

 Gardiner obferves thisprecifely in his Carnations and 

 Gilly-flowers, not fufrering above one, two, or three 

 Spindles upon fuch Roots or Stools where he intends 

 a greater fulnefs and largenefs in the Flowers ; and in 

 Anemones the obfervation is, That if any of the La- 

 tifolu's bring a (ingle Flower, on the fame Root with 

 the double, then the caufe ufually is, the landing of 

 too many Eyes or Germens,and their depending from 

 the fame Root ; and the remedy in like manner, no- 

 thing dfebut theiaktogoff thofc Qir^ts or Suckers,
