8. §. As for this end, fo for Propagation, the Trank-Roots of 
Chamemile do well {erve. Whence we have the reafon of the common 
obfervation, that it grows better by being trod upon. the Mould, 
where too Jaxe; being thus made to lie more conveniently about the 
faid Trunk-Roots newly bedded therein 5 and is that which is fometimes 
alfo effected in Rowling of Corn. 
g. §. For both thefe ends, Serve the Trunk-Roots of Strawherries 5 
as alfo for fhade; for in that all Strawberries delight ; and by the trai- 
ling of the Plant is well obtain’d. So that as we are wont to tangle 
the Twigs of Trees together to make an Arbour Artificial; the fame 
is here done to make a Natural ove: as likewife by the Clafpers of 
Cucumbers. For the Branches of the one by the Linking of their 
Clafpers, and of the other by the Tethering of their Tru#k-Roots, be- 
ing couched together; their tender Fruits thus lie under the Um- 
brage of a Bower made of their own Leaves. 


CEA PTY. 
Of th GERMEN, BRANCH, and LEAF 
9 HE Parts of the Germen and Brauch, are the 
* fame with thofe of the Trw#k 5 the fame Skin, 
Cortical and Lignous Bodies,Infertment and Pith, 
hereinto propagated, and diftinétly obfervable 
herein. 
2 2. §. For upon Enquiry into the Original 
ye of a Branch or Germen, it appears, That it 
is not from the Saperficies of the Trunk, but 
~~~ fo deep, as to take, with the Cortical, the 
Lignous Body into it felf: and that, not only from its Circumference, 
but from in Ivver or Central Parts 3 So as to take the Pith in 
alfo. Divers of which Parts may commonly be feen to fhoot out 
into the Pith; from which Shoots, the furrounding and more fuperi- 
our Germens are originated 5 in like manner as the Succulent Part of 
the Lignous Body of the Trunk is fometimes principally from thole Fi- 
brous Shoots which run along the Pith in the Root. 
3. §. Themanner wherein ufually the Germenand Branch are fram’d, 
is briefly thus: The Sap ( asisfaid, Chap. 3. ) mounting in the Trunk, 
will not only by its length,but by its breadthalfo, through the Ix/értions 
partly move. Yet, its Particles being not all alike qualified, in diffe- 
rent degrees. Someare more grofs and fluggith; of which wehave the 
formation of a Circle of Wood only, or of an Avwual Ring. Others are 
more brisk ; and by thefe, we have the Germen propagated. For by 
the vigour of their own motion from the Center, they impref$ anequal 
tendency on fome of the inner Portions of the Ligvous Body next adja-
