The Crab, which is the flrft Sort 

 here mentioned, has been generally 

 efteemed as the beft Stock for graft- 

 ing Apples upon, being very hardy, 

 and of long Duration : but of late 

 Years there have been few Perfons 

 who have been curious enough to 

 raife thefe Stock?, having commonly 

 fown the Kernels of all Sorts of Cy- 

 der apples for Stocks without Dif- 

 tinclion, as thefe are much eafier to 

 procure than the other ; fo the Gar- 

 deners generally call a!l thofe Crabs, 

 which are produced from the .Ker- 

 nel, and have not been grafted : but 

 were the Kernels of the Crabs fown, 

 I mould prefer thofe for Stocks ; 

 becaufe they are never fo luxuriant 

 in their Growth, as thofe from Ap- 

 ple-kerneis 3 and they will contiaue 



longer found : befide, thefe wi'/I 

 prelerve fome of the belt Sorts of 

 Apples in their true Size, Colour, 

 and Flavour ; whereas the other 

 FVee-ftocks produce larger Fruit, 

 which are not fo well tailed, nor 

 will they keep fo long. 



The Paradife-apple hath, of late 

 Year.;, greatly obtained for Stocks 

 to graft or bud upon ; but thefe are 

 not of long Duration ; nor will the 

 Trees grafted upon them ever grow 

 to any Size, unlefs they are planted 

 fo lew as that the Cyon may fir ike 

 Root into the Ground, when it will 

 be equal to no Stock ; for the Graft 

 will draw its Nounlhment from the 

 Ground ; fo that it is only by way 

 of Curiofity, or for very fmail Gar- 

 dens, that thefe Stocks are proper, 

 fince there can never be expected 

 any confiderable Quantity of Fruit 

 from fuch Trees. 



Thefe Trees have been much 

 more eiteemed m France, where 

 they were frequently brought to 

 the Table in tne Pots growing with 

 their Fruit upon them : but thi% 

 being only a Curiofity, it never ob- 

 tained much in England ; fo that 

 the Gardeners do not propagate 

 many of them here at prefent. 



There is anothe Apple which is 

 called the Dutch Paiadife-apple, 

 much cultivated in the Nurferies, 

 for grafting Apples upon, in order 

 to have them Dwarfs : and thefe 

 will not decay or canker as the 

 other, nor do they flint the Grafts 

 near fo much ; lb are generally 

 preferred for planting Efpaliers or 

 Dwarfs, being eafily kept within 

 the Compafs ufually allotted to 

 thefe Trees. 



Some Perfons have alfo made ufe 

 of Codlin -itocks, to graft Apples 

 upon, in order to make them dwarf j 

 but the Fruit which are upon thefe 

 Stocks are not fo hrm, nor do they
