at 7 a. m. A pufhed 1 inch, Ci-|l; but to- 

 wards noon they all three fucked. 



I have frequently obferved the fame dif- 

 ference in other Vine?, where the like gages 

 have been fixed at the fame time, to old and 

 young branches of the fame Vine, viz, the 

 oldeft began firft to fuck. 



In this experiment we fee the great force 

 of the fap, at 44 feet 3 inches diftance from 

 the root, equal to the force of a column of 

 water 30 feet 11 inches 4*1 high. 



From this experiment we fee too, that 

 this force is not from the root onlv, but 

 muft alio proceed from fome power in the 

 ftem and branches : For the branch B was 

 much fooner influenced by changes from 

 warm to cool, or dry to wet, and viceverfd, 

 than the other two branches A or C - y and 

 B was in an imbibing Hate, 9 days before 

 Ay which was all that time in a ftate of 

 pufhing fap 5 and C pufhed 13 days after B 

 had ceafed pufhing, and was in an imbibing 

 ftate. 



Which imbibing flate Vines and Apple- 

 trees continue in, all the fummer, in every 

 branch, as I have found by fixing die like 

 gages to them in July.
