I N U 
tifion was made, with the flat haft of your penknife 
clear to the wood, you fhould thruft the bud therein, 
obferving to place it fmooth between the rind and the 
wood of the flock, cutting off any part of the rind 
belonging to the bud, which may be too long for the 
flit made in the ftock ; and fo having exactly fitted 
the bud to the ftock, you muft tie them clofely round 
with oafs mat, beginning at the under part of the flit, 
and fo proceed to the top, taking care that you do 
not bind round the eye of the bud, which fhould be 
left open. 
When your buds have been inoculated three weeks 
or a month, you will fee which of them have taken ; 
thofe of them which appear flirivelled and black, be- 
ing dead, but thofe which remain frelh and plump, 
you may depend are joined ; and at this time you 
fhould loofen the bandage, which, if not done in 
time, will pinch the ftock, and greatly injure, if not 
deftroy, the bud. 
The March following you muft cut off the ftock 
about three inches above the bud, doping it that the 
wet may pafs off, and not enter the ftock ; to this 
part of the, ftock left above the bud, it is very proper 
to fallen the fhoot which proceeds from the bud, aafi* 
would be in danger of being blown out, if not pre- 
vented ; but this muft continue no longer than one 
year, after which it muft be cut off clofe above the 
bud, that the ftock may be covered thereby. 
The time for Inoculating is, from the middle of 
June until the middle of Auguft, according to the 
forwardnefs of the feafon, and the particular forts of 
trees to be propagated; but the time may be eafily 
known, by trying the buds, whether they will come 
off well from the wood. However, the moft ge- 
neral rule is, when you obferve the buds formed 
at the extremity of the fame year’s fhoots, which 
Is a flgn of their having finifhed their fpring growth. 
The ftrft fort commonly inoculated is the Apricot, 
and the laffc the Orange-tree, which fhould never be 
done until the middle of Auguft ; and in doing of 
this work, you fhould always make choice of cloudy 
weather ; for if it be done in the middle of the day, in 
very hot weather, the fhoots will perfpire fo fail, as to 
leave the buds deftitute of moifture ; nor fhould yon 
take off the cuttings from the trees long before they 
are ufed ; but if you are obliged to fetch your cut- 
tings from fome diftance, as it often happens, you 
fhould then be provided with a tin box or cafe, hav- 
ing a focket about ten inches long, and a cover to the 
top, which muft have five or fix holes ; in this focket 
you fhould put as much water as will fill it about 
two or three inches high, and place your cuttings 
therein in an upright pofition, fo that that part which 
was cut from the tree may be fet in the water, and fo 
fallen down the cover to keep out the air ; and the 
holes in the cover will be fufficient to let the perfpi- 
ration of thefe branches pafs off, which, if pent in, 
would be very hurtful to them ; you muft alfo be 
careful to carry it upright, that the water may not 
reach to the buds ; for it is a very wrong pradlice in 
thofe who throw their cuttings all over in water, which 
fo faturates the buds with moifture, that they have no 
attractive force left to imbibe the fap of the ftock, 
whereby they very often mifcarry. 
But before I leave this head, I beg leave to obferve, 
that though it is the ordinary pradtice to diveft the 
bud of that part of the wood which was taken' from 
the fhoot with it yet, in many forts of tender trees. 
It is beft to preferve a little wood to the bud, with- 
out which they often mifcarry. The not obferving 
this, has occanoned fome people to imagine, that fome 
forts of trees are not to be propagated by Inoculation ; 
whereas, if they had performed it in this method, 
they might have fucceeded, as I have feveral times 
experienced.

■ The Characters are. 
It hath a radiated compound flower , with an imbricated 
empdement , compofed of loofe , fpreading , fmall leaves , 
the outer being the broadeft, The dijk , or middle of the 
flower , is compofed of hermaphrodite florets , and, the bor - . 
der, or ray of the female half florets , jlretched out like v 
a tongue. The hermaphrodite florets are funnel-fhapea ?, 
erects and cut into five fegments at the top ; thefe have 
five fhort fender flamina , terminated by cylindrical fiurn- 
mits , which coalefce at the top : they have one long ger- 
tnen , crowned with down, Jiipporting a fender ftyle the 
length of the flamina , crowned by an upright bifid ftig- 
ma. The female half florets have a narrow entire tongue , 
no flamina , but a long crowned ger men with a hairy ftyle, 
and an upright fligma. The germen in both flowers be- 
come a fmgle, narrow, four-cornered feed , crowned with a 
down , fitting on a naked receptacle. 
This genus of plants is ranged in the fecond fedlion 
of Linnaeus’s nineteenth clafs, intitled Syngenefia 
Polygamia fuperflua, which includes the plants with 
a compound flower, made up of hermaphrodite florets 
in the difk, and female half florets for the rays, which 
are fruitful.
