on the Left-hand, and I fancy the larged that were ever 
feen. The Right-hand bears a very large and good black 
Grape, and large Bunches; the Left-hand very good 
white Grapes, and I had lad Year more Bunches of the 
White, than of the Black; and whereas in all Vines bear- 
ing black and blue Grapes the Leaves die red, thefe died

Tobacco-Pipe, l cut it off at two Joints above the Ground,, 
and grafted it with a Cutting of the Yellow-drip’d ; it 
took and Ihot a fmall weak Shoot, and in a Month or 
five Weeks after, it was blighted, and l perceived it had 
killed the Graft, and fome part of the Stock below, fo 
I took my Knife and cut it to the quick, which was near 
the next Knot or Joint to the Ground, and let it ftand, 
thinking to graft it again at Spring, as before, bur for- 
got it till the Seafon was pad. At length going that way
