the fame veare about November : But they will not come in ft on the 
Tops, where thev were cut, but out of thole Shoots, which were (asit j 
; were,) mner-Bougbes. The Cavfeis^ for that the Sap, which othervvife : 
would haue feci the Top, though after Bearing,) will, by rhe difeharge 
ofthat, diuert vneo the Side-Sprouts • And they will come to beare, 
but later. 
I he Second is the Pulling off the Budsofthe Rofe^ when they are Newly 
km tea- For then the Side-Branches will beare. The Cavfe is the lame 
with the former : For C.uttingoffthe Tops, and Pulling ojfthe Bvds^ worke 
the lame Effed, in Retention of the Sap for a time, and Diuerfion of it to 
the Sprouts, that were not fo forward. 
The Third is the Cutting oiffomefew ofthe Top-bovgbes in the Spring¬ 
time, but filtering the lower Boughes to grow on. TheC*«/d.s, for that 
the Boughes doe helpe to draw vp the S ap more ftrongly ; And wee fee 
that in powlingof Trees, many doe vfeto leaue a Bough or' two on the 
Top, to helpe to drawvp the Sap. And it is reported alfo, that if you 
graft vpon the Bough ofa Tree, and cut off fome bf the old Boughes, the 
new Cions will peril'll. 
The Fourth is by Laying the Roots bare about Chriftmas , fome daves. 
The tdufe is plaine, for that it doth arreft the .Sappe, from going vp- 
wards, for a time . Which Arreft is afterwards releafed by the Coue- 
ring of the Root againe with Earth ; And then the Sap getteth vp, but 
later. 
The Fifth is the Removing of the T fbme Monethbefore]t Evddetb. 
The Caufeis , for that fome time will bee requited after the Remove, for 
' the Refetling, before it can draw the Iuyce: And that time being loft,the [ 
Bloffome muft needs come forth later. 1 
The Sixth is the Grafting of Rofes in May, which commonly Gardiners j 
doe not till luly ; And then they beare not till the Next Yeare 5 But ifyou 
graft them in May , they will beare the fame yeare,but late. 
She Seuenth is, the Girding of the Body of the *7 ‘tee about with fome 
Packe-threed ; For that alfo, in a degree, reftraineth the Sap, and ma- 
keth it come vp, more late, and more Slowly. 
The Eighth is, the P laming ot them in a Shade^mm a Hedge y The Caufe 
is, partly the Keeping out of the Sunne, which hafteneth the Sap to rife * 
And partly the Robbing of them of Nourifhment, by the Stuffein the 
Hedge. Tliefe Meancs may bee pradifed vpon other, both Trees, and 
F\owets,Mutatis Afiitandis. \ 
Men haile entertained a Conceit that fbewethprettily • Namely, that j 
if you graft a Late- Camming Fruit , vpon a Stocke of a Fruit-tree , that Com- 
methearly, the Graft Will beare Fruit early 5 As a Peach upon a Cherry ; 
And c»ntrariwife,if an Early-Comming-Fruity pon aStocke QfaFr,vit-tree 
that CommrthUtc, the Graft will beare Fruit late • Asa Cherry: vpon a 
Peach. But rhefe are but Imaginat ions, and vntrue. The Caa je is, for that 
the Cions oner-rule th the Stocke quite • And the Stocke is butPafliuc 
onely, and giueth Aliment, but no Motion to the Graft.
