the iVuit tvhicli ilid not cnme to maturity, but 

 soon iifier ;ilso fell, iinripe and wormy. Fish 

 oil (the most ofiVnsiye i? hest) was rublipd with 

 a painter's l)rii*li on every liml>, and al^o on the 

 trunk, the eartli al)out the roots (h)o; some inch- 

 es deep, and carried ofT, the ground under (he 

 trees hoed and swept, fresh sods placed round 

 the roots, and ashes, from the ley cask, strewed 

 for Some dislanre und^>r and around the trees. 

 This was perlormed in Iheaiiliimn. The April 

 followinsj the trees were white washed all over 

 the trunks and lartfer branches. While in blos- 

 som they are smoked ni^rht and morninof for a 

 wet^k, with tarred oakum, or any trash, slrew- 

 wilh sulphur, or roll hrm^tone. A frying pan 

 answers well for this pur|)0-p, as it can be held 

 high, and close to Ihe blossoms. The blossoms 

 of ihe pluin and cherry trees contain a very 

 small fly, which afipears while the smoke isap- 

 plied to the blossoms. This tly ruins the fruil, 

 causing it lo fall off prematurely; it is suffocat- 

 ed by the tar or suli)hur fumes. Peach trees need 

 not be smoked, but it is requisite to dig the old 

 earth from the roots every autumn, replacing 

 it bv fresh sods, and to white wash in the spring. 

 Lime and old ashes miy be scattered round Ihe 

 root. No other enri'-hing is necessary, except 

 chip tra<h from the woodpile. 



Plums may be trimmed as you please, but 

 peach and cherry trees not without danger of 

 gum, which injures the fruit, and eventually ru- 

 ins the tree. 



My I'ruit abundantly rewards my pains, the 

 peaches e-^pecially, which bear profusely every 

 year; while those who neglect this process 

 complain they have no fruit. 



The common sugar-plum tree will I)ear the 

 third year from the sucker — is the most thrifty 

 anil lastina; stock which 1 have found for innoc- 

 ulalion. The fruit is very sweet, handsome, 

 and good for preserving. 



Gooseberries in man}' gardens near (he sea, 

 mould and fall from the bush. I find that <Irv 

 manure fiom the stable put round the roots in 

 in the winter, and scraped away in the spring, 

 prevents this evil, and they bear and ripen well. 



I must not omit to mention, that the while 

 mulberry, from the seed, will bear the fourth 

 year. I have a fine row of them. A moist, 

 rich 'oil suits them best, but by attention they 

 will succeed any where. 



1 make these commimicalions from tiie hope 

 they will be attended to, as experience convinces 

 me of their utility. 



Currants hear in three years from the seed, 

 if planted as soon as separated from the juice 

 in mak;ng wine. If you give the hushes their 

 proper form the sncond year, they need no 

 more attention. The fruit is made fine and the 

 bush more free from suckers than those from 

 the sli[is. 



Smoking with sulphur destroys the canker- 

 worm, tlies, kc. that infest the apple and pear 

 tree. 



1 have Sugar-plum trees (or as some call 

 them gra[ie (dums, from Ihe shape and purple 

 color,) which have borne for 15 years, and show 

 no symptoms of decay, but the oldest limbs bear 

 the most luxuriantly. 



Should peachnuts be cracked carefully, sprou- 

 ted in water a week, and planted in May, they 

 will come up in three or four weeks, and grow 

 as large in one season as those which were 

 planted in the fall. POMONA.
