at the soft place, then tie him fast, that he cleave no further than ro the length of your sprout, which you must graffe upon him, and then leave the prick in it, then make your sprout pointed like a pricke, so that the middle be not touched, then put it into the cleft, having clensed the hole first with the point of a knife, so that one bark may touch the other, and out∣ward one wood another, to the end the moisture may have the more easier his course, then pull out the pricke, and that which remaines open and bare be∣tween the cleft and the sprout, that bind well every where with the barke of the tree, or with hard pres∣sing with a little sand, or with dung of an oxe, or with waxe, or with a linnen cloth washed in waxe, that no raine, winde, or wormes may hurt it. This helpeth much to keep the moistnes in, which com∣meth from the root, that it cannot breake out, but nourisheth the better the new plant: but when the stumps are great, they bee cleaved after two waies. The first is, that you cut or cleave the tree with a knife at one side only, even to the heart, and that you graft into it but one sprout. The other is, that you cleave it all over, and that you prick or graft on every side one sprout, or one alone, and leave the other side without.
When the stumpe is but a little bigger, then the sprout must necessarily be cloven in two, and you must graft but one sprout into it, as is said in the be∣ginning.
This cleaving may be done in February, March, and Aprill, then it is good to cut them before they be greene, for to keepe them the better under the ground, in cold or moist places.
