 their branches, or thinning away their fo-

 air and admiifion of fun. 



The fourth feafon, they will produce a 

 full crop of fruit ; and will poiubly make 

 fuch progrefs towards the riders, that thefe

 will be advifable to facrifice whatever fruit, 

 or appearance thereof, there may be on 

 them, to the encouragement of the princi- 

 pals. 



After the trees have filled their fpaces, 

 and have begun to bear plentiful crops of 

 fruit, they will make little or no wood 3 

 and will require no further care, on the 

 fcore of training, than to fupply the place 

 of any branch that by accident may die 

 out.
