CHAP. XII.
Of the kind of Graffs that are in use.
THE Graffs that are most commonly us'd are Inarching, Budding or Inoculating, the Cleft, the Crown, or Graff's between the Wood and the Bark, and Whip-Graff∣ing.
Inarching is for Chesnuts, Marons, Fig-Trees, &c.
Budding or Inoculateing is for all manner of Fruits, both Kernel and Stone, and some∣times for other Trees that bear no Fruit.
The Cleft is also proper for all manner of good Fruit Trees, and even for other great Trees, provided both the one, and the other have, at least three or four Inches Circumfe∣rence at the place where the Graff is to be so perform'd; Clefts are not generally so proper Page 106 for Stone Fruit, especially Peaches, as for Kernel Fruit; the Curiosos of some Provinces in Guyenne affirm the Contrary.
The Crown or Graffs between the Wood and the Bark, as well as Whip-Graffing, are particularly for thick Branches, or for thick shorten'd Stems of Kernel Fruit, and are nought for Stone Fruit, as well as for all Branches and Stems of a moderate Size, which are too weak to press their Graffs sufficiently.
