Apples perfectly formed The laft Year, I went early, 
not knowing but that it might blow fooner than the o- 
ther Trees, but 1 found no BloiToms * and the Owner,, 
with many of his Neighbours, allured me, they have 
known the Tree thefe forty If ears, and that it never had 
a Bloffom. I opened feveral of the Apples, and obferv'd 
but very few Seeds in them ; and feme of them lodged 
fingie in the Side of the Apple. This Tree was no 
Graft and the Fruit but ordinary for Tafte. I could not 
perceive, by my Obfervation, but that, in all other Re- 
fped: 5 ,, it frudify’d like other Apple Trees. But that I 
may not leave Nature in any Diforder, I would juft 
mention,, what is frequently obfervd in our Gardens, 
as to the winding or running \ ines, more efpecially the 
Hop and the French, or Kidney Beans how contrary 
they’ are to one another in their climbing and yet how 
Readily they obferve their own Laws : Th~ Hop Vine 
winding about the Pole with the Sun, and the Bean a- 
s-ainft the Sun. and this Courfe they keep with fuck 
Obftinacy, that though an Attempt has been made over 
Night, to force the Hop Vine to wind againft the Sun y 
yet, in the Morning, it has got back again to its natural 
Courfe, and the Bean again has done the fame in her 
Way. In like Manner, the Indian Corn, abovemen- 
tioned, has always an equal Number of Rows of Grain, 
m the Ear, as eight, twelve, f£c.
