fipid, fhould, in order to improve their 

 juices, be grafted upon codling flocks ^ 

 and thofe whofe fruit yields juices of a more 

 acid and rough tafte, may be improved 

 (efpecially in a wet fummer) by grafting 

 them on paradife ftocks, which naturally 

 produce fweet apples. 



Such as are defigned for ftandards may 

 be grafted upon crab ftocks .; or thofe raifed 

 from the kernels of apples, only grafting 

 (as before directed for dwarfs) the fweet 

 and mealy forts upon the crab, and the 

 others upon apples. 



But as the fruit of ftandards is for the 

 moft part made ufe of in the kitchen, for 

 baking, &cc, I recommend the crab flock 

 for moft of them; becaufe kitchen-fruit 

 is not valuable without a tart tafte, either 

 in tarts or pies ; and, if made into cyder, 

 it is moft agreeable to the palates of the 

 beft judges of that liquor. 



N. B. Graft upon paradife and codling 

 ftocks as near the ground as poffible..
