56 OF PRUNING 



WHEN the planting feafon is come, 

 mark out the diftances, open the holes, 

 and difperfe the mould all over the bor- 

 der. Some time before planting prepare 

 the following competition for that pur- 

 pole, viz. four barrows of earth from that 

 prepared for the border, one barrow of very- 

 rotten dung, and one barrow of light rich 

 black earth ; this is the proportion, the, 

 quantity mufl be according to the planta-. 

 tion ; it muft be well mixed and a barrow 

 and a half laid to every hole. The little 

 quantity of dung ufed in planting can 

 have no bad effect, it will make the tree 

 pufh forth fine ftrong roots the firfl year. 



o prepare Borders for Peaches and 

 rincs. 



PEACHES and nectarines are fo much 

 ;ilike in nature, that they thrive very 

 well on the fame foil ; what is faid of one 

 jnay be underftood of both : the right 

 preparation of the borders is very mate- 

 vial, as on this the future fucgefs depends.
