tinued green, within 8 or 10 days, as long 

 as the leaves on the other branches of the 

 fame tree. 



The fame day, viz. Auguft 15th, I cut 

 two fuch oppofite gaps 4 inches diftant, in 

 an horizontal young thriving Oak-branch ; 

 it was 1 inch diameter, 1 8 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 alike branch of the 

 fame Oaky 18 days after the leaves were as 

 green as any on the fame tree j but the leaves 

 fell off this and the foregoing branch early 

 in the winter 5 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, 2 in- 

 ches wide, and 9 inches difiant from each 

 other, in the upright arm of a Golden-Re- 

 nate tree? the diameter of the branch was 

 2 -f- i inch, the gaps faced the 4 cardinal 

 points of the compafs; the apples and leaves 

 on this branch flourifhed as well as thofe 

 on other branches of the fame tree.
