When the stocke is greater than the graffes.

WHen as the trée waxeth or swelleth greater beneath the graffing, than aboue: then shal ye cleue the rootes beneath, and wreath them round and so couer them again. But sée ye breake no roote thereof, so wil he come to perfec∣tion. But most men doe vse this way: if the stocke waxe greater than the graffes, they do slyt downe the barke of the graffes aboue, in two or thrée partes, or as they shall sée cause thereof, and so likewise, if the graffes waxe greater aboue than the stocke, ye shall slitte downe the stocke accor∣dingly, with the edge of a sharpe knife. This may well be done at any time in Marche, April and Maye, in the cresce of the Moone, and not lightly after.
