as the thicknefs of your Cyon will neceflarily require, or in 
the ftead of cutting a notch, you may cleave your Stock* 
chiefly on the fide where your branch is to be fist or placed 3 
butfirft, you are to prepare your Graft by cutting it in fuch a 
form as may fit either the notch or cleft, not cutting your 
branch off, you may cut it either with fhoulders or without, 
leaving that fide thickeft, that is to ftand outmoft on your 
Stock, and then fix it exa&ly Sap to Sap, as in other Graf¬ 
tings, without which no Graft can take5 then tie it with 
fomeBafs, that it may not ftart or flip out of its place, and 
then with well tempered morter or wax wrap it well, that 
no wind or rain get in to fpoil your Graft. 
Another way for this kind of Grafting is, that in the ftead 
of either notching or cleaving your Stock, flice or pare off a 
piece of the Bark,and a little of the Wood only on that fide 
which is beft for your purpofe, about an inch or more, and 
then cut off only fb much of the Bark from the convenient 
fide of your Stock, as the cut on your branch wiltexa&ly fit, 
neither wider nor narrower, but as exact as if it had been 
cut from the fame place 5 if you will, you may let them in¬ 
to another with a flit on the Stock, and Graft, as in Whip¬ 
grafting, and then tie them clofe together, and either wax 
or clay it as aforefaid, and fo let it reft until it be well taken, 
and fhoOt pretty well,and then untie your Graft,left it fhould

you will, tie it again gently,and clay it if you will, and fo let 
it reft until it hath had the years (hoot, and then you may

Tree as you pleafe, and by this means y ou may have a bear *
