The Fru1tT-Garven JMuftrated, 
thefe for Inoculation fhould be ufed as foon as they are taken from the 
Tree, or otherwife put in Water, and kept frefh till ufed. 
ONE Bud in a Stock is enough to form a good Tree; but 
tis much the better Way to put two Buds in each Stock, left one only 
fhould fail. 
IN the Choice of Cuttings, particular Care fhould be had to their 
Buds, viz. That they are not Bloflom-Buds, which are known by 
being double, and never produce Shoots, as we defire when we ino- 
culate. And likewife that they are not Shoots that always liv’d in 
the Shade, whofe Buds are immature for want of Perfpiration : but fuch 
that are ftrong, not luxurious, that always poffefled a free circulating 
Air, and of the fame Year's Growth. 
WHEN three Weeks or a Month is paft, after Inoculation, you 
fhould releafe them of their Bandage, that the Stock may have a free 
Dilatation : And if your Buds have taken, they will appear very plump 
and of their natural Colours, as when firft put in. If that Part of the 
Leaf which is left to the Eye of the Bud drop off freely, ‘tis a good 
if ic withers and fticks firm thereto, *tis

IN February, after Inoculation, you muft furvey your Stocks, and 
thofe that have their Buds perfe& muft be headed off, about three Inches 
above them, that in March the whole Nourifhment of the Stock may 
be fully applied to the Growth of the Bud, which the firft Year will 
be very confiderable, and efpecially if all the lateral Shoots of the Stock 
are difplac’d when they appear. 
THE Matculine, Orange, and Roman Apricots, are the firft Fruits 
that fhould be inoculated ; and after them, Cherries, Peaches, Plumbs, 
Pears, doc. And it often happens, that if you take the Advantage of 
the Beginning of the Seafon, you may, before the Seafon is gone, Re- 
inoculate fuch that have miffed at your firft Inoculation.
