Many Apricot trees of one.

PLant an Apricot in the midst of other Plum-trees round about it, at a convenient distance; then in an apt season, bore through your plum-trees, and let into every one of them, one or two of the branches of your Apricot tree, through those holes, taking away the Bark on both sides of your branches, which you let in, joyning Sap to Sap, and lute

the holes up with tempered loam; and when they are well knit, the next year cut off the branch from the Apricot-tree: and so you have gotten many Apricot trees out of one. Take away in time all the head of your plum-tree, and all o∣ther branches, maintaining onely that which is gotten from the Apricot. But some commend rather the letting in of a branch of one tree, into the other workmanlike, for the more certain kind of graffing.
