out half a yard apart, in rows a yard afunder. When 

 five or fix feet high, they may be moved where they 

 are to remain : It the feed is good, it will fink in water. 



Walnuts are railed from well-ripened nuts, fown 

 either in autumn or fpring; and if the latter (which 

 may be rather beft) prefcrve the nuts in their outer 

 coats, in dry fand. Thefe trees are beft but once 

 moved, and their tap root preferved, if for timber, with 

 the head as entire as poflible; but if for fruit, the tap 

 root mould be fliortened, to prevent the tree mounting, 

 -and the head may be cut, to accommodate it to the 

 root, as to fize. The walnut likes a dry foil, and it 

 gravelly, it does beft ; and though walnut trees are 

 man}' years before they come to bear, yet it it were 

 only for the wood, pofterity would ha\ e reafon to 

 commend the planter of them. 



Filler ds are raifed from nuts, or fuckers, and layers, 

 the latter of which is the beft method ; or they may be 

 grafted on the common nut tree. The nuts {own in 

 autumn, or kept dry in fand till February, produce fine 

 trees, but generally differ a little from the forts Town, 

 and make a variety generally for the worle. Nuts 

 fruit belt in a cool foil. 



Currants and goofebenies are raifed principally from 

 fuckers, flips and cuttings, but bell from the latter. 

 When ivomfeed, it is with a view of obtaining varie- 

 ties, and hence the many forts of goojeberries in fome 

 catalogues. Ufe cuttings, ox flips, of the laft year's 

 wood, from fruitful trees, about nine or ten inches 

 long, and fet them four or five in the ground, half a 

 yard afunder ; train them to one fhoot, (or at the moft 

 two,) the firft year, and the next head them down to 

 fix orfeven eyes, when a fine head will be formed the 

 following year, and in the autumn they may be moved 

 where they are to fruit. 



Bar-berries are raifed from fuckers, layers, cuttings, or 

 feed fown in autumn or fpring. The latter mode of 

 propagation produces the hnelt fhrubs, with the largeft 



fruit,
