Or, An Appendix comer nimg Fruit-Trees,^c. 



thcr younger Tree, iffiiing from the founder fart of a. Root of the 

 fame old Tree, had full and entire Kernels. 



And from feme fuch Obfervation might the produftion of Ber- 

 beries, &c. without Stones, be happily attempted 5 an thjirumenP 

 fitted to take out the marrow or pith of the Branches,(^as thi. fame Mr 

 Beale perform'd them ; ) for from the numericalBnQj of that Fruif 

 he found fome Branches produce Berberies that had no {ioncs,others 

 which had ^ and in fearching for the cauje of the effe^, perceived, 

 that the pith or heart was taken from the radicat,ox main Branches, 

 as the other was full of pith, and confequently the fruit in perfedti- 

 on^ofall which(he writes me word)he made Icveral tryals on other 

 fruit, but left the place before he could fee the event. But he adds ^ 



Thefe many years (almoji twenty) I have yearly tri'd Kernels in 

 Bedds of clean Earth, Pots and Pans, and by the very leaves (as 

 they appear d infirji j^ringingfor one moneth) I could dijcern hove far 

 my Eflays had civiliz'd 'em : The Wilder hadfiorter, fiiffer, brown, 

 or fox-colour d leaves : The more xn^enwoxis had more tender, more 

 jpreading leaves, and approaching the lighter verdure of the Berbery 

 leaf when it firji appears. He adds, 



Some Apples are cal/'d Roie-Apples, Rolemary-Apples, Gilly- 

 flower-Apples, Orange-Apples, with feverdl other adjun&s, deno- 

 minating them, from what Reafbn / know not. But if we intended 

 to try fuch infujions upon the Kernels (as (hould endeavour to alter 

 their kinds') we (hould not approve of the bedabbling them with 

 fuch infufions, (for over-moijiure would rather enervate then 

 ftrengthen them) but rather prepare the Earth the year before, with 

 fuch infuccations, and then hinder it from producing any Weeds, 

 till ready for the Kernels, and then in dewy times, and more fre- 

 quently when our Climate were furcharg'd with rain,cover the Beds 

 and Tots with the fmall leaves oi Rofemary, Gillyflowers, or other 

 oderiferous Bloffomes, and repeat it often, to the end the detes may 

 meteor i'Le,2Xidi draw forth their finer Spirits,^c. And thus alfo we 

 are in this -4g^ of ours provided of more vigorous Ingredients for 

 ^r/rf/j then were known to the ^««e»^x. Finally, 



From what has been deduc'd from the Wilding of feveral parts, 

 it may manifeftly appear, how much more congeneal fome foil is 

 then other, to yield the beft Cider-fruit from the Kernel ^ and the 

 hazzle ground, or quicker mould, much better then the more ob- 

 kinatc clay or ranker earth.
