POMONA: Or, 
rious, as they would have been, had the Sap been wholly imployed in 
one Shoot only. 
BEHIND the Place of Inoculation, or of Grafting in every Wall 
Tree, there is a {mall Part of the Stock which is generally dead, which 
at Planting muft be cut clofe to the Shoot, and placed next to the Wall ; 
For when they are placeed outwards, as fometimes is done by unskilful 
Planters, they imbibe Wet, which oftentimes rots the Body of the Stock 
in a fhort Time. _ | 
‘TIS abfolutely neceflary and very advantageous to cover the Wounds 
of Trees, when cut, with a Salve that will pteferve them from the In- 
juries of Wet and Cold. The Compofition is as follows ; Take half a 
Pound of Rofin, a quarter of a Pound of Bees-wax, the fame Quantity 
of Pitch, and two Ounces of Mutton-fuet ; mele them together, and 
when moderately cool’d, fo as to be liquid, drefs the Wounds with a 
Feather, Brufh, @’c. and no Wer or Cold can penetrate or injure them. 
ALL Wall Trees that are budded or grafted very low, fhould have 
their Grafts, when planted, about two or three Inches above Ground ; 
but do not on this Account plant their Roots over deep, for the Reafons 
before deliver'd.
