An Orenge-tree to bring forth an Apple half sweet and half sowre.

And this kind of commixtion was invented by chance; for there were graffed two boughs of Orenge-trees, one brought forth a sweet, and the other a sharp fruit. When occasion served to transplant and remove the Tree, it was cut off in the middle, according as Husband-men are wont to do when they plant such Trees af∣ter they are grown old; and by great chance, it was cut off there where the two boughs had been before engraffed: and so when the stock budded afresh, there arose one bud out of the sharp and sweet branches both together as they were left in the stock; and this one bud brought forth Apples or fruit of both relishes. Wherefore no question but such a thing may be effected by art, as well as it was by chance, if any man have a minde to produce such kind of fruits.
