FRUIT-TR EES. 53 



CHAP. XVL 



Of Stocks proper for Cherries. 



THERE are only two forts that I 

 know made ufe of to propagate 

 others upon, that is, the fmaJl black cherry 

 generally ufed in brandy, and a red one 

 which grows v/ild in woods : both are 

 very free from gum, whereas moft other 

 kinds are fubject to it. The fruit of the 

 red is fomewhat more acid than that of 

 the black, and different kinds may be pro- 

 pagated upon them at pleafure : but ob- 

 ferve this, let the pla(!e of grafting or bud- 

 ding, in all fuch as are defigned for ftan- 

 dards, be at the height where the heads are 

 intended to begin. If the ftems be of other 

 kinds than thofe above mentioned, they will 

 be fubjecl to gum, and not be fo long 

 lived.
