OR PINE- APPLE. 169 



WHERE there is but one {love there is an 

 unavoidable neceffity of retarding the next 

 year's fruit, for there is no doing any 

 thing then with the plants in fruit, but 

 what is before-mentioned, and that is only 

 a fuperficial operation. It will not be 

 fufficient to clean plants that are much 

 infected, for there is no meddling with 

 the roots of plants that are in fruit, nei- 

 ther is there a poffibility of fumigating 

 the dove or riddling the bark, for it would 

 keep the plants in fruit too long out of 

 heat, and fturit them. 



IF there is no partition between the 

 fruiting-plants and the young ones for 

 next year, the young ones mould not be 

 mifted after May, but have plenty of air, 

 water, and a moderate heat, to keep them 

 growing all fummer until the fruit is all 

 cut, for then they mufl have all their 

 roots cut off. 



As the fruit mould be forwarded as 

 much as poflible and cleared, it will be 



better
