Graft,do give both Stock and Graft a little notch or flit to 
make them to flick or hang together whiift they prepare their 
Bate, and then wind their Baft about it to keep them both 
even and clofe, putting feme Clay about it, and fc let it reft 
until it be well clofed, but it may be performed fefficiently 
without the nothces, as I have often done $ and then about 
Midfummer, or fooner, as you may know by their thriving, 
you muft untie them, otherwifeit will gird them fo that the 
Wind will be apt to break them off when the top groweth 
any thing big 5 It is a good way if you find they have been 
pent or girt over much, to tie them again for a little time, 
other wife they may be apt to crack where they were joyned, 
by reafon of their fudden liberty after their being fo hard 
pent, which fometimes make a fault: TheSeafon is the feme 
with other Grafting, according to the kinds of Fruits. 
Another way of Grafting a little different from the farmland is 
for fmall Stocks fut yet of a little bigger fize than the former. J 
F Irft, cut off the top of your Stock even at the top, at 
what heighth you pleafe,then make thofe of your Graft 
not very fmall, and cut one fide only of it with a flope cut as 
in the former way of Grafting, about an inch or more, as 
the ftrength of your Graft will bear} if you will, you may 
give it a crofs cut like a fhoulder, only the depth of the Bark 
or Sap, very little mbre, that it a may a little reft on the top of 
the Stock,and be careful to cut your Graft very fmooth,that it 
may fit and joyn exadlyon your Stock 5 then make choice of 
that fide of your Stock that will foit beft with your Graft for 
ftraitneft, then lay the cut part of your Graft againft that 
part of your Stock where you defire or intend to joyn it,and 
meafore the length of it, and with a (harp Knife cut or flice 
off fo much of the Bark only, as the breadth and length of 
the Cut of yourCyon or Graft contains, and then place itfo 
exadly,as if it had been cut from the feme place ■> then bind 
them together with fome Baft and Clay it as you do other 
Grafts
