How in graffing to take heed that the Barke doe not rise.

IN all kind of cutting your Graffes, take heed to the barke of your grafts, that it doe not rise (from the wood) on no side thereof, and specially on the out side, therefore ye shall leave it more thicker then the inner-side: Also ye must take heed when as the stocks doe wreath in cleaving, that ye may joyne the graffe therein accordingly: the best remedy therefore is to cut it smooth within, that the graffe may joyne the better: ye shall also unto the most greatest Stockes, choose for them the most greatest Graffes.
