and longeft in fcafoti in the Root. For I hare obferved the 
Sap tofubfide ento the Roots out of the Body atfoch times 
of the day and year, when in the Branches I found none to 
fpare. 
7. If Binding , or Catting off the Head ad\rances the fhoot 
of the inoculated bud , then it ought to be experimented , 
Whether dif barking a few days before Midfummer on the 
contrarie fide , a little below the bud , and having wax ap- 
ply 'dor clay on the part disbark'd, may not by thatdireftion of 
the Sap, neceffitating it topafs by the bud, further its growth 
confide rably> or, which is better, a galh cut ia the wood 
in that place. 
8. To make a barren Tree beare again , cherifb, dung in tren-^^ 
ches,and pare and renew the extremity's of its longeft Roots, 
and cut off the outermoft and fliorteft, neareft the Body. Hence 
k may feem, that Plowing helps Fruit-trees. 
9. Crofle hackings promote fruitfulnefs, cure the Phjll^ 
manU, whereof the reafon feems to be, that (as was above inti- 
mated ) Outward Circles and Bark feed the Wood^ and the 
Inner onely reach outto theuttermoft fpriggs of the laft year, 
to which the Fruit is appendant. For, fome Trees bear only 
on this years flioot, and fome only on that of the laft, poJfibly 
fome only on the third years ftoot 5 and ceafe bearing, when 
$hey (hoot no new fpriggs. Seafonable baring the Roots y 
which they call AhUqutatimj probably hath the fame effed, 
becaufeit hinders the aoutiihment efpccially of the outward 
coates, and of barke, leaves, and fuckers : Bur, bec^ufc it feems, 
that, as fome fuckers or fhoots, lately fprung in outward 
<oats, robb the fruit of the rifenluyce, fo later roots, come 
from the outward parts of the maine roots, rob them alfa 
of their firft nouriihment in the earth they ought to be pru- 
acd>,as well as all fuckers and not- bearing branches and fpriggs, 
every year. For which reafon alfo , the better to increaCe 
and amend &uit , it ^nay be obferved , what was recommen- 
ded above co- the jyth ^^rk, viz; The applying of dung 
and /Other amendments in trenches nigh to and beyond the 
faftiieft points of the Roots, to draw them out of the ftrade 
aad diops. To this>end, Diftaacc and Eiua^on is to be obferved.
