April. 
for this Work : 
Autumnal Seed Beds of Trees and Shruba,. 
> young Trees will in many Places begin to appear, 
and they will be choak’d .by, the wild Growth. if | 
not carefully clear’d.. Let the Perfon employ’d i in 
this be made perfeétly fenfible of the Form of the 
: Edges, that it ‘may fall perfectly even, and then. 
young Trees, that none of them may be deftroy’ qd | 
in. the Weeding. 
_ When the Ground is. . clear’d ‘Toofen’d, | 
as it always is by taking up Weeds, let there be 
a gentle Watering every other Day.. The Gar- | 
dener will be furpriz’d at the Effect of this timely | 
Dreffing ; a Week will thew a hundred promifing | 
Shoots, where there were not. at firft half a 
| Roots in one ftrike juft as the Fibres unite in the 
Dozen. 
not to be us’d on. this Occafion, but that call’d | 
Grafting by Approach, and by fome Inarching.. ‘To. | 
this Purpofe, the Stock and the Tree which has | 
- the Bud mutt. be fo. near, that the Parts to be. 
join’d may be brought to touch one another. 
The Stock being fome of the common hardier 
Pines, may be rais’d any where; and as. the Tree 
from which the Graft is in thefe Cafes to be 
‘taken, is naturally i in a Tub or Pot, that may be. 
brought to it without Difficulty. 
ee tie Tub be brought fo : near, fees a conve- | 
nient Branch of” the Tree to be grafted may, be. | 
brought down, fo as to touch the Stock near the 
‘Ground. Mark the Place where it. eafily 
joins in this Manner; and having every thing’ 
‘ready, a Knife for the Purpofe, fome Bafs wetted 
for the Tyeing, Clay for covering, it in, and. ‘Stake. 
‘for tyeing it up fecure: 
mark’d on the Branch, to the Length of three 
Inches: bring it down to the Stock, and mark 
with a Knife “the exact Place where it. will join: 
cut away the Bark and fome of the Wood for that 
Space ; Readinefs and Care aré the gfeat Articles | 
the two Parts muft be made to 
fuit one ‘another, and no Time muft be loft in - 
* doing it. 
Cut a ‘little: Tongue upwards in the Branch, ' 
and make a Nick in the Stock to admit it: this 
_ ferves for faftening them the more’ fecutely. 
Bring the two cut Parts together, fix the Tongue 
in its Nick, and lay them even, that there: be no 
Vacancy between: in any Part ; then draw round | 
Some of the Pines mich do not rife favourably | | 
from Seeds, may this Month be propagated by | | fectly. * 
Grafting, The common and fimple Method is | 
chufe a cloudy warm 
| Day, and thus begin the Operation. 
Pare away the "Bark and Wood at the Place. 
ay the’ ‘wet Bats gently, but feciirely . and by repeated April, 1. 
Tyeings keep the two cut Parts clofe together : 
‘mould fome of the Clay in the Hands, and lay it 
carefully On: clofe it about by frequent preffing ; 
‘Wet it on “the Surface a dittle, and about chi 
Cover this firft Coat with a fecond, carrying up 
the Jait Covering beyond the firft. Thus it will 
clofe all, ‘and the Air wail not eafily crack it 
| throu oh. 
rhe covering up of thefe grafted Parts is of 
the fame Nature with fhading the Beds of new 
planted “Exotics. All is kept quiet; and the 
other. Tf the Air’ gets tb; nothing is Hone per 
| When the Clay i is putting on, let the Stake be 
thruft carefully into the Ground, juft-at the Place, 
fo that it will come clofe to the united Part: Let 
it be very firm in the Ground ; and when the 
Clay is fo well clos’d that no Air nor Moifture 
_ | can get tn,” ‘Jet the Part that is thus united be 
‘brought clofe to the Stake, and ty’d above and 
below the Place with a good Quantity of Bafs. Te 
muft not be pinch’d in either Part, but it muft be 
in both Places bound firm ; and this may be ea- 
| fily done when there is a fafficient Quantity of 
‘the Tyeing allow’d, °°“ 
In this. Manner Jet all ia till the latter End 
of Auguft : and the Parts will be fo well united, 
‘that the Graft may. be cut from the Mother- 
Tree, oe 
Tris to be Wicese in this Manner : a fharp Knife 
muft be us’d, and it muft be taken off with a 
Slope. clofe to ‘the Stock ; then the frefh cut Patt 
| muft be again covered whi forte of the Clay. 
The Growth will be regularly carry’d on, and the 
Parts unite infeparably. 
We advife that the Stake be left in for a confi- 
‘detable Time, and the Parts bound to it; for the 
Gesces 3 is not foon over that might come from 
‘Winds :) but with’this Precaution and the common 
Care, the Profpect of Succefs i is very fair, and the 
- Tree rarely fails. 
Man¥ of the tenderer Cuahouk Shrubs may 
| be propagated by this Method of Inarching ; but 
they have proftituted the Intent who ufe it for the 
fanciful Purpofe of producing Fruit on Seedling 
‘Plants, as has been’done ‘in the Orange and Le- 
‘mon Kinds: the Thing is unnatural and the 
Tree commonly dies.
