 and the little quantity of rind joined to 

 It (the compafs of both which is feldom

 about a fourth part thereof) yet if diffe- 

 rent juices be applied, the tafte of the 

 fruit will be different : I fhall give an in- 

 flance of this in the nonpareil, viz. If one 

 tree of this kind be planted in a wet clay 

 foil, and another in a loam properly dry, 

 and both propagated upon the fame kind 

 of flock, and from one and the fame 

 branch, they will yield fruits very different 

 from each other, both in fize and good- 

 nefs. 



On the other hand, if two nonpareil 

 branches are grafted, the one upon a para- 

 dife ftock, the other upon a crab, and both 

 planted in the fame foil and fituation, 

 that upon the crab flock will produce fruit 

 fo four and ill tafled, in comparifon to the 

 fruit of the other, that if a perfon fhould 

 tafle them both in the dark, he could not 

 imagine them to be the fame fruit, 



I have ken very great difference between 

 the fruit of thefe trees, when one was 

 grafted upon a paradife, and the other 



uponi
