Get d Quantity of flrorg, fat 

 Loam, (in proportion to the (^^an- 

 tiry of Trees intended to be grafted) 

 then take foms new Stonc-horie 

 Dung and brealc it in amongd: the 

 Loam, and if you cut a little Straw 

 or Hay very fmall, and mix amongll 

 it, the Loam will hold together the 

 better 5 thele muft be well ilirred 

 together, putting V/ater to them 

 after the Manner of making Mor- 

 tar : It fliould be hollow'd like a 

 Difli, and fiU'd with Water, and 

 kept every other Day ftirr'd i but 

 it ought to be remember 'd, that it 

 fliould not be expos'd to the Froll 

 or drying Winds, atid that the oftner 

 it is ftirred and wi ought, the 

 better. 



There are fevcra] Ways of Gn^^ft- 

 ing, the principal of which are 

 Five. 



1. Grafting in the FJml, called 

 alfo Shotdder Grafting, which is only 

 proper for large Trees j this is cali'd 

 Crown Grafting, becauie the Grafts 

 are fct in form of a Circle or Crown, 

 arid is generally perform'd about 

 the latter End of March, or the Be- 

 ginning of April. 



2. Cleft G raj ting, which is alfo 

 cali'd Stoch or blit-grafting : This is 

 proper for Trees or S.o:ks of a 

 lelTer Size, from an Inch to two 

 Inches or more Diameter ; this 

 Grafting is to be perform d in the 

 Months of February and March, and 

 fupplies the Failuire of the Efcut- 

 cheon-way, which is pradifed in 

 June, July and Angufi. 



5. Whip Gra>fting, which is alfo 

 cali'd Tongu: Grafting : This i*^- pro- 

 per for Imall Stocks of Hn Inch, 

 half an Inch, or leis-, Diameter j 

 this is the mod effedual Way of 

 any, and that which is moll in 

 Ule. 



4. Grafting by Approach, or 

 AkL%cimm , this is to lie performed 



G R 



v.'hen the Stock you w^oi>ld gvpi^ 

 Q\\, and the Tree from which you. 

 take your Graft, (land fo near to-. 

 gether, that they may be join'd i 

 This is to be perform'd in the Month 

 of April, and is alio called Inarch^ 

 ing, and is chiefly uled 'ioi Jafmine^, 

 Oranges, and other tende? Exotick 

 Trees. ' 



The Manner of performing thefe 

 leveral Sorts ol: Grafting being fo 

 generally known, and they having 

 been fo often dclcrib'd in the various 

 Books of Husbandry and Gardening, 

 it will be iieedlefs to repeat any 

 Thing more on that Head in this 

 Place : I fhall only take Notice in 

 general of the feveral Sorts of Trees 

 which Will grow when grafted 

 upon each other. 



All fuch Trees as are of the fame 

 Tribe, i. e. which agree in their 

 Flower and Fruit, will Take upon 

 each other -. For Inftance, ail the 

 Nut-bearing Trees may be fafely 

 grafted on each other, as may all 

 the Flu?/} - bearing Trees, under 

 which Head I reckon not only the 

 leveral Sorts of Flums, but alio the 

 Almond, Peach, Nectarine, Apri- 

 coch, ccc. which agree exactly iit 

 their genera:! Charaf^ers, by which 

 they aredillinguifh'd from all other 

 Trees : But as thele are very fubje6t 

 to emit large Quantities c>f Gumt 

 from fuch Farts of the Trees as are 

 d-ceply cut or wounded, v/hich in 

 the tender Trees of this Kind, is 

 more common and hurtful, fo it i? 

 found ro be the furefc Method to. 

 lad or inoculate thefe Sorts of 

 Fruits. Vide 'Inoculation. 



Then all fuch Trees as bear Cone? 

 will do well upon each other, tho' 

 tircy may diiTer in one being ever-" 

 green, and the other Hredding its 

 Leaves in Winter, as is obfcrveable 

 in the Cedar of Libanus, and the 

 Larch-Tree, which are found to'
