1 30 Vegetable Stathks. 



The fame day, viz. Aug. 15th, I cut two 

 fbch oppofite gaps four incnes diftant, in an 

 horizontal young thriving Oak-branch ; it was 

 one inch diameter, eighteen days after many 

 of the leaves begun to turn yellow, which 

 none of the leaves of other boughs did 

 then. 



The fame day I cut off the bark for one 

 inch length, quite round a like branch of the 

 fame Oak; eighteen days after the leaves 

 were as green as any on the fame tree ; but 

 the leaves fell off this and the foregoing branch 

 early in the winter; yet continued on all the 

 reft of the boughs of the tree (except the top 

 ones) all the winter. 



The fame day I cut four fuch gaps, two 

 inches wide, and nine inches diftant from 

 each other, in the upright arm of a Golden- 

 renate - tree -, the diameter of the branch 

 was 2 4-i inch, the gaps faced the four 

 cardinal points of the compafs; the apples 

 and leaves on this branch flourifhed as 

 well as thofe on ether branches of the fame 

 tree.

palTage of the fap, where the direct paflage
