To perform the Scutcheon-grafting, cut from an Orange-

Scutcheon out of your Branch, in form of a Triangle, leaving
in the Middle of it the Eye and its little Branch. This Scut-

Knife, leaving a little more Thicknels of Wood at the Place
of the Bud, than eliewhere; after which chuie in your Stock
