Wig. the 5^. Reprefeiits a young SV^^/^A Firr of two 
Years old, on one of the lowermoft Branches c, was made 
a Ring SeQiion between the Body and firft Knot of the 
Limb. The following Year, that part of the Limb a- 
bove the Ring, increafed twice or thrice as much as the 
correfponding parts of the other Limbs, from the fame 
Knot, as which increaled as if there had been no Sefti- 
on made at but the part below b to tlie Body, increa- 
fed not at all. 
Fig. 5 reprefents a young Hazel gut into the Body with 
a deep ga£h, and the parts of the Body above and below 
cleft upwards and downward!^ and the Splinters a and 
by by wedges kept off from touching each other, or 
the reft of the Bbyy. Theft the following Year were ob- 
ferved to be in the. State reprelented in the 6th, Fig. that is 
the Splinter a above the gafti,was grown very much^but the 
Splinter ^ below, ftood at a ftay and grew not, but tlie 
reft of the Body at grew as if there had been no galh 
made. 
Fig, 7 PvCprefents a like gafli made juft above the low- 
ermoft Knot ; and the parts fplinter'd or cleft and wedg- 
ed off from each other ^ and fl^om the Body as before, , but 
there is left a Branch upon the lower SpUnter to fee what 
will be the State thereof the next Year, or in October next. 
When 'tis probable by the other Experiments the lower 
Splinter and Branch upon it, will be found to have grown 
and increafed as the Spiinter in the former Experiment 
did above the gafh , though not in the lame Propor- 
tion. 
Fig. 8 Reprefents four young PofUr Trees, A, B, C £>, 
ail of equal bignels, growth, fituation, and fbyl as near as 
could be found ; thele were ordered as is reprelented in 
the gth. Fig. that is J had all its branches and top cut off 
B had all its branches pruned off^ but it was left with a* 
{hiall Head at the top. C had the branches cut about half 
way, and thofe of the uper half left growing,^ D was left 
grow-
