SECT. II.

the Apple, which rather carrieth with it 
the nature of the Stalk the Tree was graf¬ 
ted on, than the Fruit it proceeded from; 
therefore I {hull take little notice of it 
here. Although many have pretended to 
have raifed fome new Species of Fruits by 
this means, Grafting being by all, as well 
our Modern Planters as the Antient, con¬ 
cluded to be the beft and mofl: expeditious 
way to preferve the right Species of Fruits, 
and accelerate their bearing The choice 
of the Stock is therefore to beconfidered; 
which mod agree the Crah-jloif to be the 
beffalthough many affirm that the Wilding - 
fioc 4, or of the Paradife~Appk\ to be pre¬ 
ferred : for a Tree grafted on a Cralflock ,, 
is of longer duration than any other, the 
wood being more hard, and kfsfubje&to 
decay, and the Root more naturally fprea- 
ding in our Soil than any other. It alfo 
not onely p refer ves, but quickens and en¬
