Such cherries, plums, cr pf^ars, as was grafted in the 

 fpring and mifcarried, may now be budded with any of 

 the fame kinds of fruit ; for thefe trees will fucceed either 

 by graftirg or budding. 



Budding generally fuccceds bell when performed in 

 cloudy weather, or in a morning or an evening after 

 three or four o'clock ; for the great power of the mid- 

 day fun is apt to dry the cuttings fo much, that the buds 

 would not readily part from tlie wood. However, where

 which means the wail or efpalier will be fQon covered 

 with the defired kinds, and in two or three years after 

 budding they will begin to bear.
