ae Gardener who would have dae nef iGnds 
in full Perfection, muft chufe Cuttings from a 
flourifhing and fine Shrub, and bud them upon

~ The Method of doing this is alike i in all ee 
and Shrubs, and we have delivered it at large on 
a former Occafion. All that need be obferved in 
particular here is, that the Frankfort is preferable 
to any other Kind as a Stock, becaufe .it, pro- 
duces fine clean Shoots, which unite with the 
Buds with oreat, Facility 5 and that in the per- 
forming it, all that is required to enfure the

In the common 1 Way of preferving the Prz-

Suckers will be of the Frankfort Kind: but when 
the budded Part has been thus laid, and has 
rooted, it becomes an original Tree, though with 
the borrowed Qualities of the other; ‘eck the 
Suckers which it annually produces are of the 
Praeneftine Kind, not of the Frankfort... This
