The time of gatheringlikewife, or cutting yourgrafts for grafting in the ftocke, istobe obferued, that they bee not long gathered before they bee grafted, for feare of being too dry, which I commend, howfocuerdinersfay, if they be long kept they are notthe worfe 3 and thereforeifyoube forced to haue yourgrafts from farre, or by fome other chance tokeepethem long, becarefullto keepe themmoift, by keeping their ends ftuckeirt moift clay ; butifneare hand, negle& no time] fay afterthe cutting of them for their grafting, buteitherthe fame, or the next day,or verie {peedily after, inthe meanctime being putintothegroundto keepethem frefh.
