frpm feucrall Parts to driake* And fo being refreshed, fall to

or Mixture of Kinds in Plants is not found our j Which neucr- 
tholcrte, if it bepofIible,is more at command,than that of liuing 
Creatures y For that their Lurtrequireth a voluntary Motion: 
wherefore it were One of the mo(t Noble Experiments tom

riety of New FntitSy and Flowers yet vnknowne. G'rajting doth 
it not: That mendeth the Fruit y ordoublcth the Flowers, Scc t 
But it hath not the Power to make a New tQnde, For the Cions

It hath beene let dovvne by one of the Ancients, that if you take two 
Twigs of feucrall Fruit Tres , and flat them on the Tides, and then binde 
them clofc together, and fet them in the ground,they will come vp in 
oneStocke-Buc yet they will put forth their feuerallfruits, without any 
Commixture in the Fruit. Wherein note (by the way) that Vnity of Con¬ 
tinuance^ calier to procure, than Vnity of Species. It is reported alfo, 
that Vines of Red and white GrapesJzeitig fet in the Ground,andthe vp-

Moiflure helpeth to Vnion. And it is preferibed alfo, to binde the Bud, 
as foone as it commeth forth, as well as the Stocke 3 At the leafl for a 
time. 
They report;that diuers Seeds ,put into ac W,and laid in Earth well 
dunged,will put vp P/m^cWi?//m;Which(afi:erwards)being bound 
in,their shoots will Incorporate. The like is Paid oi Kernels,put into a Bot¬

It is teporced,that young Trees, of feucrall kinds, fet contiguous,
