 enfuing feaion, or fecond year, or in younger 

 growth, as may be required; and they may 

 be raifed from fuckers, layers, grafting, &c. 

 according to the following directions. 



They are propagated or raifed by fuckers, 

 layers, grafting, and by fowing the nuts; 

 but to raife the different varieties diftinft, and 

 with certainty of having the approved forts 

 continued, it is effeded principally either by 

 layers of the young wood, or by grafting them 

 upon feedling or fucker Itocks of the iilbert or 

 hazel, and occafionally by fuckers from the 

 roots, efpecially of fuch as are wholly, root 

 and top, of the true filbert kind, and fome- 

 times by fowing the nuts ; but the trees raifed 

 by the latter method are apt to vary, and not 

 come with certainty of the true forts, whereas 

 thofe by layers and grafting come invariably 

 the fame, ab alfo fuckers trom trees that are 

 wholly the fame root and top, as above ob- 

 ferved : and all of which will bear fojner than 

 the feedling trees. And the feveral methods 

 of propagation, except the grafting, maybe 

 eifedled eitherin the Autumn, in Odober and 

 November, Sec. or in the Spring, in February 

 or March, and in which latter feafon the 

 grafting is always performed ; all of which as
