no TREATISE ON THE CULTURE AND 



to, will be fufficient fo to inflrucl perfons, as that they may 

 fucceed. 



All fuch trees as are of the fame genus, u h which agree in 

 their flower and fruit, will take upon each other : for in- 

 fiance, all the Nut-bearing trees may be fafely grafted on 

 each other, as may all the Plum-bearing trees, under which' 

 head I reckon not only the feveral forts of Plums, but alfo the 

 Almond, Peach, Nectarine, Apricot, &c. which agree exactly 

 in their general characters, by which they are diftinguifhed 

 from all other trees ; but, as many of thefe are very fubject to 

 emit large quantities of gum from the parts of the trees which' 

 are deeply cut and wounded ; in the tender trees of this 

 kind, viz. Peaches and Nectarines, which are moil fubjecl: to 

 this, it is found to be the fureft method to bud or inoculate- 

 thefe forts of fruits. 



All fuch trees as bear cones will do well upon each other, 

 though they may differ in one being ever-green, and the other 

 fhedding its leaves in Winter ; as is obfervable in the Cedar 

 of Libanus, and the Larch-tree, which are found to fucceed 

 upon each other very well ; but thefe mufl be grafted by ap- 

 proach ; for they abound with a great quantity of refin whicrr 

 is apt to evaporate from the graft if feparated from the tree- 

 before it is joined with the flock, whereby they are often 

 deftroyed ; as alfo the Laurel on the Cherry, or the Cherry on: 

 the Laurel. All the mafl-bearing trees will alfo take upon, 

 each other,, and thofe which have a tender foft wood will do 

 well if grafted in the common way ; but thofe that are of a 

 more firm contexture, and are flow growers, mould be grafted 

 by approach. 



By ftrictly obferving this rule, we mail feldbm mifcarry,. 

 provided the operation be rightly performed, and at a proper 



feafon ?
