Ic hath, beene receiued, that a .Smaller. Peare^ grafted vpon a strike !

it is probable enough., that if you,can get a Cions to grow vpon a Stocke 
of another kinde, that is much moifter than his owne.Stodie , it may 
make the Fruit Greater, becaufeit will yeeld more plentifull Nouriih - 
ment ^ Though it is like it will make the Bafer. But generally, the 
Grafting is vpon a dryer Stocke j As-the Apple vpon a Crab • The/Wevp 
ona Thorne ^Slc. Yet it is reported, that in the Low-Countries they wili 
graft an Aggie-Cions vpon the Stacks ok a Cole-wort , and it will bearea 
great flaggy Apple * T he I( emell of which , if it befetpwnl be a Cole-wort J 
and not an Apple. It were goad to try, whether an Apple-Cions wiil pro-. 
fper, if it be grafted vpon a Sallow, or vpon a Poplar , or vpon an Alder , 
or vpon an Elnse, or vpon an Horfe-Plumme , which are the moifteft of 
Trees. I.haue heard that it hath beene tried vpon an Elme , and fuc- 
ceeded. 
Itismanifeft by Experience, that Flowers Remoned wax greater, be- 
caufe the Nourifhment is more eafily come by, in the loofe Earth. It 
maybee,that Oft Regrafting of the fame Cions,may likewife make Fruit 
greater ; As if you take a Cions, and graft it vpon a Stocke the firft yeare • 
And then cut it off, and graft it vpon another ^N’*? the fecond yeare 5 and 
fo fora third • Or fourth yeare* And then let it reft,it will yeeld afterward, 1 
when it beareth, the greater Fruit. 
Of Grafting there are many Experiments worth the Notings but tbefe wee 
referae to a proper Place. 
Itmaketh Figs better, if a Ft?-Tree, when it beginneth to put forth 
Leaues,Baue his Top cut off. The caufe is plaine, for that the Sap hath 
the leffe to feed, and the leffe way to mount; But it may bee, the Ftg will 
come fomewhat later, as was formerly touched. The fame may bee tried 
likewife m other Trees.
