Howevcr,let theobjefHongiveus themore Caution, thit, if we 
defTcin to a Fruit without Stones, the perforation may be the 
bolder and the more ccmpleat. 
And to proceed further, fome Trees are leffe fruitfall , oral- 
together barren by the exceffive growth and firmnefs ofthe 
Timber and thefe are recover'd by crofs deep hackings through 
the Bark: And fuch injuries done to the Timber both in the 
Seem and main Roots , they cleave the Roots , and put a ftone 
in the cleft , that ic may not clofe again too haftily. If this vio- 
lence be not cfone both to the Stem and Roots , the remedy may 
fail. We fee alfo, ihnVincs are lefs fruitful , when xhey arc per- 
mitted to run out into many woody branches,, 
//. Tofliew alfo the Proximity between the of the ^^r/J 
and the Pulf of the Fruit I did in Summer-time make Refts 
for water on the body of i^^/?^//J Codlin-trees, andcauf'd i#tec 
to be frequently powred into thofe Cavities. The efFcft was this, 
the Apples grew to an extraordinary bignefs, and were very in- 
fipid, and many of them hid parts in appearance much like the 
\^xi\^ Lemons I fome I fuffered tohangon the Treeaslongas 
they would, and thofe became full of Spots of the Colour of 
Corke, or like the rotcenefs of an Apple. 
I omit the reft, and haften to redouble a remark of the great 
ufe, which may be made ofthecheif Experiment., The Graft 
carries the maftery from the Stock for the Pulp of the fruiC; 
So that we have little hope of much change by meerGnk'mgSy 
how oft foever iterated; But if after many, andftrange, and 
choice Engraftings you fet the Kernel, Stone,or Seed of the graf- 
ted Fruit in a iCind Mould, you may thenexpe^S fome new or 
mingled klndeof Plant , as Semi-Africocks^ 6^c. And thus the 
Almond and Peach miy by many changes in the Graftings , and 
by Inteneration ofthe Stones ofthe Peaches, and ofthe Shels 
of the Almonds > and by Terebrations of the Stem and Root 
here and there, alter their guifes, fo that the Coat of the Al- 
mond may approach to the Pulp of the Peach , and the kernel 
of a Peach beenlarged toakrndeof Almond 5 and great (lore 
of bextcr contrivances may from hence take rife.
