CHAP. XVIII.

Speciall obseruations of grafting, planting, and sowing of Trees, for to haue exquisite fruits thereof.

IF you graft a graft that bringeth forth a late fruit, vpon a tree that brin∣geth forth an early fruit, the graft will bring forth an early fruit in his kind: as and if you graft a Peach vpon a reclaimed Mulberrie-tree, it will come two moneths sooner: The same will come to passe, if you graft vpon a Vine stocke, or a blacke Vine vpon a Cherrie-tree, or a Medlar-tree vpon•• Goose-berrie-tree, or reclaimed Mulberrie-tree. The cause of this hastened 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is the nature of the tree whereupon you haue grafted, which being the onely 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to the graft, and being of a timely fruit in respect of the nature of the graft, doth 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and bring forward the fruit. On the contrarie, if the tree be of a late fruit, and the graft of a timely, the graft will afterward bring forth late fruit in his kind: and stay∣ing after his due and wonted time, as if it be an Apple-tree vpon a Quince-tree, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Apples will proue to hang on the tree till Nouember, and will take so much after the nature of the Quince-tree, as that they will keepe two yeares. By how much the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 you graft vpon a tree of the same kind and condition that the graft or bud is Apple-tree vpon an 〈…〉〈…〉 an Apple-tree, a reclaimed one vpon a reclaimed one, or a wild 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vpon a wild one: by so much the fruit becommeth greater, and is of a better rast, as hath beene said.

Graft one Apple-tree vpon another, and likewise in Goose-berrie-trees and reclai∣med Mulberrie-trees, and you shall haue fruit all Summer time, till the beginning of Nouember.

To cause fruit to grow that shall be halfe Peach and halfe Nut, take an eyelet of the one and of the other, and cut them as neere the eyelet as you can, both the one and the other, and scrape their buttons a little; then ioyning them, bind them also verie and together, and after cut away their toppes: the fruit growing from these, will be halfe Peaches and halfe Nuts.

You may make one fruit to haue the tast of foure fruits of his kind after this 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Take foure shoots or grafts of foure differing sorts, but of one kind of tree, as of foure sorts of Peare-trees, or Apple-trees: As for example; of the Apple-tree take the short stalked Apple, the Globe Apple, sharpe tasted Apples, and Apples of Paradise (be∣cause that the shoots or grafts must be of one sort of trees) tie them verie well together, in such sort, as that their barke may touch one another: afterward couer them with glue, or with sand, or some ••at earth, so close, as that they may seeme to be all 〈◊〉〈◊〉

put them thus in some well digged ground that is full of manure, that so they may take root: the fruit that will grow vpon these, will haue the taste of foure sorts of apples. It proceedeth of the same cau••e if you take two grafts, the one of a sow••e apple-tree, and the other of a sweet, and coupling them together so close and nee••e, as that they may seeme to be one onely; vse them as before, and looke as the grafts were, so vvill the apples be. In like manner if you couple, joyne and close together in such close and fast manner two small figge-tree boughes, the one of a blacke figge-tree, and the other of a white, and so set them, and after that they haue put forth and blosso∣med, tie them againe, to the end they may incorporate and grow together, making but one stocke, the figges that come there of vvill haue a red flesh on the one side, and a white on the other. Some to worke the like effect, doe put into some linnen cloth the seeds of two sorts of figge-trees, and hauing tied them verie strait, digge them in the earth, and when they are growne vp, they remoue the figge-tree which is growne vp vpon them.

Some doe likewise make grafts to beare halfe Peares, and halfe Apples, clea∣ning one Apple-tree-graft, and one Peare-tree-graft, and after joyning the one halfe of the one to the other halfe of the other, and tying them close together, and ••oming the joynts and seames verie well with Gum and Wax mixt together, in such manner as that the water cannot find any entrance at their joynts, and when this is done, they graft this double graft vpon the stocke of such a Tree as shall fall for their purpose: But you must thinke that this manner of planting is verie hard to bring forth fruit. Wherefore they which take pleasure therein, must be conten∣ted with two sorts of grafts, and not to plant them, but rather to graft them vpon a∣nother Tree of the kind of the said grafts, binding them close together, and sharpe∣ning them verie ••itly for the purpose at the lower end, in manner as if they were but one onely graft.

If you hollow the branch of a Cherrie-tree taking away the pith, and after set it againe, it will bring forth fruit without any stone: or else thus better: cut off a young Cherrie-tree within a foot of the earth, cleauing it also euen to the root, take out the pith both of the one side and of the other, afterward joyne them together againe, and tye them close with a strait band, and a yeare after that this Cherrie-tree hath taken, graft therein a graft of a Cherrie-tree which neuer bare fruit, and the fruit which commeth of such a graft, vvill be without any stone. Otherwise, cut off from such stone-fruit-tree as you desire, a graft which may be easily bended: sharpen it on the two ends, and graft it likewise on the two ends vpon two parts of the Tree, make close the two grafted places with the mosse of fat ground, and tye them carefully with a band: the yeare following, if you see that the two ends of the graft haue taken some force and strength from the stocke, putting forth some buds, then cut the graft asunder in the middest, and take cleane from it the thickest sprig that it hath, and let the other grow, and it will beare in his due time fruit that hath no stone. The same will come to passe, if you propagate the ends of the smal∣lest boughs of the young Cherrie-tree, plum-tree, or other stone-fruit-tree, and after that you see that they haue taken root, if you cut off the thickest and fairest twig, and let alone the leanest and slenderest. The reason and cause of this is, for that the stone cannot grow, if the tree lacke his pith, but in the tops and ends of little boughs there is no pith: therfore the fruit that commeth of them, whether they be planted or graf∣ted after the manner that hath beene said, will haue no stone, euen no more than that which groweth of trees whose pith is taken out.

If in the vine, figge-tree, cherrie-tree, or apple-tree, you cleaue a branch which hath borne fruit, and take the pith out of it, putting in steed thereof some laxatiue or soluble thing, and binding it well and streight, you shall make the fruit laxa∣tiue, according to the nature of that which you haue put in: and if you put therein some sweet smell or pleasant colour, the fruits will smell of and shew the same: and if you doe this in a rose-tree, the effect will appeare in the rose: and who so shall put ••••tacle or my thridate in the vine, wine made thereof wil cure the bitings of serpents,

and not the Wine onely, but the grape, vinegar, branch, and ashes of the braunch, will be good against all manner of biting of venimous beasts.

To graft speedily, take a graft of one knot and writhe it, and take away the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with the kno••, and after inuest and decke vp therewith some shoot that is of the like thicknesse with the graft, and it will take.

To graft a Vine vpon a Vine: you must cleaue it as you doe other Trees, 〈…〉〈…〉 to say, euen to the verie pith, and afterward putting the graft into the cleft, you must stop it vp vvith Waxe verie vvell, and tye it about verie close: but you 〈◊〉〈◊〉 obserue, that it is no fit time to graft the vine, except it be in the moneth of Febr••••∣rie in vvarme places, and in March in cold places, and that when the Wineshed▪ deth a kind of thicke liquor, and not thinne like vvater: the like may be done in May, and in the beginning of Iune, vvhen the sap or juice of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is all fallen, but in the meane time, you must keepe the grafts that you vvould graft in cold and shadowed places, that they may put forth buds and spring. See more hereof aboue.

To haue plums of diuers sorts all the Sommer time, and vnto Nouember, graft di∣uers sorts of plums vpon the Goose-berrie. bush, reclayined Mulberrie-tree, or vpon a Cherrie-tree.

To make Medlars, Cherries, and Peaches, that they may be aroma••icke in eating and smelling like spices, and that they may be kept vntill new come, graft them vp∣on the reclaymed and well husbanded Mulberrie-tree, as I haue told you, and in grafting of them, wet the grafts in Honie, and put therein a little of the powder of small Spice, as of Cloues, Nut••••eg, and Cinamome, and the fruit will haue a taste of them.

To cause Medlars to grow without stones, and withall to be sweet as honie, graft them on Eglantine, and in the grafting of them, wet them in honie. But to haue 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in their grea••nesse two moneths before ordinarie, and that one may be better than twentie others, graft them in a reclaymed Mulberrie-tree or a Goose-berrie-bush, and at the grafting thereof wet the graft.

To haue Peares of Augusta, of Parma, or of S. Rieule, a moneth or two sooner ripe than others, graft them in a reclaymed Mulberrie-tree, and if you would that they should indure and keepe good vntill new, graft them vpon a quince-tree, that they may come late, and on a reclaimed mulberrie-tree for them to come 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

To haue reclaymed mulberries earely ripe, graft the mulberrie on the peare-tree, chesnut-tree, or goose-berrie-tree: and to haue the late ripe, as towards Nouember, graft them vpon the medlar or quince-tree. They must alwaies be grafted in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 crease of the moone, and yet better three or foure daies before the first quaner, for how many daies the moone is old when it is grafted, so many yeares will it be 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Tree b••ing forth fruit, as we haue touched before.

To haue nuts without shells, you must take a keruell which is verie found and not any whit hurt, and wrap it in wooll or the leaues of a vine, or in plane-tree 〈◊〉〈◊〉, that it may not be eaten of Auts, set it thus inwrapped, and the nut-tree comming thereof will bring forth nuts without shells: the like may be done in alm••••d-trees, if you oftentimes put ashes vnto the foot thereof, or vnto the roots vnder the ground, and this also holdeth generally in all other fruits which haue an outward shell if they be let in this order.

To haue great nuts, plums, and almonds, take foure stones of the foresaid fruits, and put them in a pot or other vessell full of earth, joyning the one to the other as neere as may be, and turning the pot and the bottome vpward, make a hole in the said bottome, and the stones shall be constrayned to put forth their ••prout vpon high through the said hole, and by this const••aint the foure sprou••s will joyne and incorporate themselues together in such sort, as that they will all make but one stocke of a nut-tree, which according to his season will beare fairer nuts than any other trees of the same kind and nature. But for the more easier doing hereof, you must after the fruit is once shaped & fashioned, take away from the nut-tree, almond-tree, plam-tree, and such like, all the small and rascallie sort of fruit which you shall find vpon

them, and so the juice of the Tree will giue it selfe wholly to the remainder: which also by that meanes will be the better fed and nourished, as hauing be••towed vpon them all the substance which was prouided for the others that are taken away if they had not beene gathered. Wherefore the case stands plaine in the whole matter of nourishment, vvhether it be in things that haue life, or those which are vvithout life, that the starued or rascally sort doth come, by the juice his conuersion and being tur∣ned vnto the nourishing of other fruits which are greater: and it cannot be other∣wise seeing the distributiue vertue of the Trees being occupied about many, must needs haue the lesse for euerie one, vvhereas when it hath but a few to feed, it dealeth the more bountifully.

To cause an oake or other tree to continue greene as well in Winter as in Sommer, graft it vpon a Colewore stocke.

Write what you will in the eyelet of the figge-tree, vvhich you meane to graft, and the figge growing thereof will containe the said writing.

The figge-tree will not loose his fruit if the stocke be rubbed ouer with Mulber∣ties; or if you cause it to be cast about with pits while the seuen starres doe appeare, vvatering the foot with salt brine and vvater mingled together equally.

The Cherrie-tree will beare a pleasant and sweet smelling fruit, and will not be subject unto the eatings of snailes, cat••rpillers, and other small wormes if it be grafted vpon a bay-tree.

The peare-tree that you vvill graft, vvill beare a peare smelling like roses or muske if you cleaue the graft which you meane to graft, and put into the cleft thereof a graine of muske, or a dried leafe of a sweet smelling rose, and so graft it. And the like may be done in other fruit Trees to haue vvell perfumed and sweet smelling fruit: by this peece of cunning skill, Roses become to smell of muske, and the eyelets haue the smell of cloues.

It must stand for a generall rule, that neither any graft after the blossome, as nei∣ther that which is laden with fruit, is to be grafted.

If the white Poplar be grafted vpon the Mulberrie-tree, it will bring forth white Mulberries.

The Cherrie-tree vvill beare his fruit more earlie, and before his ordinarie time, if you lay quicke lime vnto the roots: or if they be watered oft with vvarme vvater: some say likewise, that if you graft a blacke vine vpon a Cherrie-tree, that then the vine vvill beare grapes in the Spring, the reason whereof we haue set downe in the beginning of this Chapter.

Graft Citron-trees vpon Pomegranat or Mulberrie-trees, and the fruit thereof will be of a red colour.

If you would transforme fruits from their naturall shape, into some other diutrs and artificiall shapes, put the said fruits when they begin to be some what bigge, be∣twixt two mouldes of plaster or baked earth, within which there are portraiures of diuers forts, cut and tie them sofely, for the fruits as it groweth will take the stampe and impression more and more: but in the meane time, you must conuey ayre into the moulds at little holes: for else the fruit would rot within.

The graft that is made vpon the Alder-tree or Oake, bringeth forth a verie strong Tree: but if it beare fruit, yet the fruit is of no sauour or raste.

To haue Peaches or Almonds to grow with letters written vpon them: after that you haue eaten the Peaches or Almonds, steepe the stone two or three dayes, af∣terward open it softly and take out the Almond, and vvith a brasse pen or otherwise vvrite vpon the rinde of the Almond, vvhat you please, but doe it not too deepe, af∣terward put the Almond againe into his stone, vvrapping the said stone about vvith paper or parchment, and so plant it, and the fruit growing thereupon vvill be vvrit∣ten and ingrauen.

To make Peaches redd: seuen dayes after you haue set the Peach stone, take it out of the earth againe, and vvithin the opening of the shell put some Vermillion or Cinnabrium, and then set it again: It will fall out likewise after the same manner,

if you graft the great Peach vpon the red Rose-tree, or vpon the Almond-tree, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vpon the red damaske Plum-tree: you may also make the Peach of such other co∣lour as you will, if according to the manner aforesaid, you put such colour as you would haue it of within the shell of the kernell.

To preuene that Peaches doe not become withered and rotten, you must take a∣way the barke of the stocke of the Peach-tree, that so there may issue out from 〈◊〉〈◊〉 some small quantitie of moisture, after you must draw the place ouer with m••tter, mixt with straw. Pearce the bodie of the Peach-tree below, and take away the pith, and fasten within it a stopple of Willow or Corneile-tree, and then you shall haue Peaches without any stone.

Pomegranat-trees will proue verie fruitfull, if you annoint the stocke of the Tree with purcelaine and spurge stamped together.

Of an Almond-tree that is hard and bitter, you shall make a soft and sweet, if you bare the stocke euen vnto the roots which lie shallowest in the ground: and water them oft during certaine daies with warme water, before that it bloslome, and thus the Almonds that before were bitter will become sweet.

To make good Muscadell: Take an yron wyre and put it in the plant of a stocke, which is cut with three eyes, vsing the meanes to haue all the pith forth: after which fill vp the said stocke with Nurmegs, stopping it so therewithall that the water may not get in: and the rootes that these three eyes shall beare will bee Muscadell rootes.

That nut will haue a ve. ie tender shell and a verie thicke kernell, in whose foote, stocke and rootes there are put ashes.

To cause a Nut-tree that beareth no leaues before Midsommer, vpon Midsom∣mers euen to put forth both leaues and fruit together, and withall to haue his fruit ripe and readie to care as soone as any other: fill a pot with greene Nuts gathered the said Midsommer euen, and make a hole in the bottome of the pot, that the wa∣ter may runne out, putting it after that vpon the said Midsommers euen into the earth. Plant the shootes that come of these, and you shall find the thing before spo∣ken of.

The grafting which is performed to a graft vpon a tree correspondent and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to the nature of the graft, proueth of most beautifull growth, and most fruitfull, and his fruit most durable: which falleth not out when this correspondencie, syn∣padne and fellowship is wanting: and this is the cause why the Peach-tree though better being grafted in the plum-tree than elsewhere, and the Peare-plum-tree in the Almond-tree, and there continue a longer time.

If the eyelet of the Peare-plum-tree, and of the Almond-tree be grafted together, the kernell of the fruit which commeth thereof will be an Almond.

The Plum-tree grafted vpon the Almond-tree beareth a fruit like vnto the Al∣mond, and if it be grafted in the Nut-tree, the rind or huske will be like vnto the nut huske or rind, but within it will be a plum. Againe, if it be grafted vpon a quince-tree, it will bring forth a fruit of a diuers fashion, according to the nature thereof.

Graft a Plum-tree graft or any other fruit trees graft vpon the figge-tree, and you shall haue your fruit to grow without blossoming.

Graft the grafts of an apple-tree vpon a ••owre peare, and vpon the Richardine apple-tree, and you shall haue apples of a yel∣•••••• or straw colour, and of the chesur-tree: & to haue such as will last vnto Nouember, you must graft them vpon a quinc••-tree, and other late trees, and so they will be for to keepe two yeares.

Take two grafts of apple-trees, the one sowre, and the other sweet, and joyne them close together when you shall graft them: the apple will raste both of the one and o∣ther fauour, as we haue said before.

If any tree bring forth his fruit late, or if it be altogether barren and without fruit, and yet full of both leafe and vvood: set in the middest of his maine roots, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 else in the middest of his stocke about Winter, a wedge of greene-wood, 〈…〉〈…〉 yere following it will beare fruit. The reason is, because by the meanes of 〈…〉〈…〉,

the sap and substance which wandred abroad and imployed it selfe about the bea∣ring of leaues and increase of wood, will draw in it selfe, and goe a closer and neerer way to worke, conuerting his seruice to the making of fruit.

You shall haue Cherries on many Trees which will be good to eat vnto No∣uember, if you graft the Cherrie-tree vpon a reclaymed Mulberrie-tree, and vpon a wild one.

If you desire that the fruit of your grafts should increase in goodnesse, and fur∣passe the tast of the common grafts as they are when they are grafted, you must first before you graft them, steepe them in honie tempered with Rose-water, so long as till they be throughly moistened, and then grafting them, draw them o••er afterward in steed of morter with Virgins-wax, and other things fit to lute withall: if after this manner you graft Medlar-trees on Goose-berrie-bushes, and vpon naturalized mul∣berrie-trees, and withall, in the grafting wet your graft in honie, you shall haue a ha∣stier or earlier and better fruit.

Graft Chesnur and Calio••-peare-trees vpon a Goose-berrie-bush, if you would haue them to beare their fruit earely: and vpon the white thorne, for to beare it late, or else vpon the sowre peare-tree.

To make apples red, you must water the tree with vrine, or else plant Rose-trees neere vnto the Apple-trees.

Peares will haue no stones, if at the first you picke away the stones and all other grauell from vnder them verie carefully, making the ground where the Tree shall stand free thereof, and withall lay vpon it at the roots being planted good store of ••i••ted earth, watering it afterward verie diligently: but and if the peare-tree be al∣readie growne vp, and become a perfect Tree, you must lay it open to the lowest roots, taking away all the stones and grauell that is vnderneath, and about it, and ca∣sting in the earth againe which you cast forth abroad, but after that it hath beene ••i••ted, and some dung put vnto it, seeing that it be watered, after you haue so cast in your earth.

The pomegranat will become verie red, if you water the pomegranat-tree with water and lee mingled together.

The sowre pomegranat will become sweet, if you lay about the root of the pome∣granat-tree the dung of swine, and water it with mans vrine.

Graft the graft of the Peach-tree vpon the Quince-tree, you shall haue Peaches and Quinces together: likewise if you graft vpon the Peach-tree, the graft of the Quince-tree.

The graft of an Almond-tree grafted vpon a Peach-tree, or that of the Peach-••ree grafted vpon an Almond-tree, causeth the one tree or the other to bring forth ••oth Peaches and Almonds, whose rind and kernell also will be good to eat.

To haue a pippin or kernell to bring forth a faire fruit and timelier than any other graft vpon the same stocke, take the branches of the Peare-tree or Apple-tree, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the lower end make little holes, but not cleane through, and not within a hand-••redth one of another: they must be one right ouer against another, and haue a grain 〈◊〉〈◊〉 two of ••alt put into them, and hereupon the branch laied in the earth with a few ••ats, cutting oft the end as is vsed to be done with grafts when they are grafted. If ••ereupon the branch take and wax greene, it wil beare a fairer and timelier fruit than ••ny other of that kind.

To haue red Apples, you must plant Rose-trees or Mulberrie-trees neere vnto the Apple-trees. Or else set some stake in the earth neere vnto the Apple-tree, and there ••eere at hand set a vessell full of water, whereupon the Southerne Sunne beames may ••li••estly beat in such sort, as that the vapour which shall rise from the water may beat ••gainst the fruit: or else vncouer the Apple-tree at the foot in the Spring time, and ••ater them sundrie times with vrine: coueting them againe aboue ten or twelue daies ••fter, and watering them with vrine betwixt times.

To make apples sweet, you must water the roots of the apple-tree with mans vrine, ••herein hath beene dis••olued goats dung, and the lees of old wine.

To haue great cherries, you must often breake the cherrie-tree.

To haue great quantitie of apples, you must compasse the stocke of the apple-tree the height of a foot aboue the earth, with a plate of lead taken from the pipe of asp••••••, and when the apple-tree beginneth to blossome, you must take away this band of lead. This banding may be renewed euerie yeare, to make the apple-tree fruitfull: the like course also may be taken with the peare-tree.

To make a tree to beare grapes together with the fruit of his owne kind▪ Put the stocke of a vine in the foot, and boring the tree cleane through with a wimble, you shall at this hole put through the vine stocke, in such ••ore as that there may be two joynts remay••ing within the stocke, and so much o•• your vine stocke at remay••••th within the stocke of the tree must be pilled, and the barke taken away, that so the sub∣stance of the tree and of the vine stocke may more easily grow together 〈◊〉〈◊〉 this, you shall stop the holes of the said bore verie close, both of the one side and of the o∣ther, to preuent all daunger of water getting in, and at the end of three yeares, cut off the vine stocke behind, thus your tree will beare grapes, and his owne naturall fruit, and both they will grow from the same trunke or bodie.

Graft the graft of an apple-tree vpon a peach-tree, and likewise the graft of a peach-tree vpon a peare-tree; and on the contrarie, and you shall haue a strange fru•••• called peach-apples, and peach-peares. And thus likewise standeth the case, if you graft (as hath beene said) the graft of a peare-tree.
