Grafting

April 12

Grafted 25 trees planted out Nov 12. 1807.  12 years Hertfordshire
underleafs - 6 cions each head, trees cut off and crown grafted in the 
Bark - with English Redstreak - half of them [lasted] from the grafts not being vigorous
and being too early for crown grafting which requires a [illegible]  flow of the sap

April 13 -

65 Crabs 9 years planted out grafted in the limbs with Harrisons
past grafts cut in Feby [February] & a few new grafts cut at the time of grafting

April 23rd

About 10 days <s>week</s> after tried cions newly cut in one Tree, all sprouted many days sooner - but did not ultimately succeed so well - the early cut cions
were very successful - far more than the later cut ones.

May 5

Grafted one tree with cions, leaves put out two inches- applied
composition - 4 new Cions, 2 old same as 65 and done at the
same time (April 13) Old succeeded but not the others.
