in a little time ; therefore, he that would faffer weeds to 

 grow among fuch crops, would be much to blame. 



Watering nemo-planted Crops. 



Watering, in dry weather, is nt>w a very needful work 

 to all newly tranfplanted crops ; always giving a watering 

 at planting, where water is conveniently fituated, and the 

 quantity of plants not too confiderable to render the work 

 very laborious and tedious ; • repeating the waterings till 

 the plants take root and grow. 



This work proving fo very beneficial in accelerating the 

 fiQ^ rooting, and fctting the plants off in a free growth 

 from the beginning, it fhould never be omitted, where- 

 convenience of water and time permits.. 



The Fruit Garden, 



Wall-Trees. 



WALL-TREES will now, in general, begin to^ 

 make llrong and numerous fhoot»; and they Ihould- 

 bv,' regulated, and trained the right way, before they grow 

 into confunon. 



Apricots, peaches, and neftarines, in particular, demand 

 this care now ; and alfo plum and cherry-trees. 



Let all thefe trees be looked over fo me time this month, 

 as early as pofHble, wliilc making their firfl Ihoot, and clear- 

 ed from all fuch of the new Ihoots as are ufclefs and ill; 

 placed ; at the fame time let all the well-placed ufeful' 

 Hioots be retained, and when of due lengthy trained ini 

 ciofe and regular to the wall. 



All fore-right, and other ill-placed fl\oots, are ufelef?, 

 and mull be difplaced ; thefe are fuch as are produced^ 

 either from the front of the branches, in a fore-right di- 

 redion, or otherwife fo irregularly fituated, as they cannot 

 be properly trained in, therefore become ufelefs, and muil 

 now be cleared away. 



Likewife all very luxuriant (hoots are for the general' 



part to be confidcred as of the ufelefs kind; they being fuch 



ui are temarkabiy more vigorous and rp*rabling,in growth.
