forts of jafmines, &c. may be raifed, as alfo 

 by layers and cuttings. 



By grafting likewife, fome woody exotics of 

 the tree kinds are alfo raifed, in particular 

 varieties, performing it in the Spring. 



Likewife by inarching, or grafting by ap* 

 proach, fome particular fpecies and varieties 

 of tree and ihrub kinds are propagated, and 

 by which a new tree of any defirable fort may 

 be raifed in three or four months, and is prac- 

 tifed fometimes, both in raifing fome curiouf 

 or fcarce (pecies which propagate but reluc- 

 tantly by other methods, and fometimes by 

 way of curiofuy, to raife a new tree expedi* 

 tioufly, fuch particularly as oranges, by in- 

 arching the branch of a bearing tree, that is 

 furnilhed with fruit, into a feedling orange* 

 ftock of a proper fize, performed in the Spring, 

 about April. The branch unites with the 

 ftock by Auguft following, when it maybe 

 cut from the tree, and remaining on the ftock 

 the new tree is formed, furnilhed with fruit 

 of the inarched branch ; though the having 

 the inarching performed with a bearing branck 

 is not always material, only when required 

 for curicfity, as before obferved. 



This work of inacching is efre(5led by having 

 a ftock or ftocks raifed to a proper fize in pots^ 

 then thefe placed near the tree from which 

 vou intend to inarch, fo that the branch, as 

 It remains op the tree, can be bowed down to 

 the I^ock, to join thereto; the ftock and 

 branch thereby, when joined together, form- 

 ing a fort of arch while they are cffe^jng 

 t^c union ; jofefcrving, in crocceding to the 

 • ^ operation.
