In quamcumque arborem inseras, si eiusdem generis est, dumtaxat ut sit utraque malus, ita inserere oportet referentem ad fructum, meliore genere ut sit surculus, quam est quo veniat arbor.
It is a general rule in grafting, if the shoot and the tree are of the same species, as, for instance, if both are of the apple family, that for the effect on the fruit the grafting should be of such a nature that the shoot is of a better type than the tree on which it is grafted.
