THe common Service-tree grows wild in many places, but there is a kind thereof more rare, and like the Horse-Chesnut esteemed; this nobler kind of Service by long standing grows to a fair Tree, with many bran∣ches set with winged leaves like those of the Ash, but smaller, and indented about the edges; the Flowers grow in clusters, succeeded by Fruits, in some round, in others Pear-fashion, much big∣ger and better tasted than those of the common kind.
This Tree is rarely found in England, though common in France; it may be raised of Seeds or Kernels, or grafted on the Stock of the common kind.
