But before I leave this Head, 1 beg Leave to obferve, that tho’ it is the ordinary Pradtice to diveft the Bud ofthat Part of the Wood which was taken from the Shoot with it; yet in many Sorts oftender ‘Trees it is beft to preferve a little Wood to the Bud, without which they often mifcarry. The not obferving this, has often occafion’d fome People to imagine that fome Sorts of Trees are not to be propagated by Inoculation ; whereas, if they had perform’dit in this Method, they might have _fucceeded, as I have feveral times experiencd.

So that if Augujt fhould prove dry, you may defer doing it till September ; tho’ the fooner it be done, the better, that the Roots may be fix'd before the Froft comes on, which is apt to loofen the Ground, and prevent their taking Root. Thefe Plants fhould have a fhady Situation, and a moderately light Soil: but fhould not be over-dung’d, whichis often deftructive to their Roots ; and when theyare Leaves generally harbour great Quantities of dug: And the Flowers being proper Ornaments in Bafons, for Halls, Chimnies, €¢. in the Summer-feafon, they may be allow’d a Place in fome remote Part of the Garden, where few other Things will thrive.
