VEGETABLE GENERATION 



thel 



The intelligent reader is become, I hope, by this time fo much 

 fled in the further inveftigation of the circumftances attending 



;. that he will not be 



d fexual generation of vegetable 



difpleafed with th 



of the fubje£t for a few more pa 



o 



fo agreeable from its novelty, and fo impor 

 plication to animal reprodu6lion 



from its future ap 



If a fc 



nonpa 



pple be ingrafted on a crab-flock, and a 

 golden pippin be ingrafted on the nonpareil, what happens ? The 

 caudex of the bud of the golden pippin confifts of its proper abforbent 



veffels 

 flock : 



and 



till 



reaches d 



to the nonpareil 



and then the continuation of its caudex downwards confifts of 



veffels fimilar to thofe of the nonpareil 



wh 



its 



udex defcends 



flill lower 



fiils of veffels fimilar to thofe of the crab-ilock 



Th 



truth of this is fhewn by two circumftances 



firfl. becaufe 



the lower parts of this compound tree will occafionally put forth buds 



And fecondly, becaufe in fome in-

fted trees, where a quick-growing fcion has been 



ferted into a 



flock of flower growth, as is often feen in old cherry-trees, the upper 

 part of the trunk of the tree has become of almofl double the diameter 



of the lower pai 



both which occurrences fhew, that the lower 



part of the trunk of the tree continues to be of the fame kind, though 

 muff have been fo repeatedly covered over 



with new circles of 



wood, bark, and
