28o The Fruit Garden. [June. 



Ihijj -planted Trees, 



Examine new-planted fruit-trees ; that is, fuch as were 

 planted laft autumn, winter, or fpring ; in particular 

 liandard-trees : fee that they be well fecured, fo that they 

 cannot be rocked about by the wind, to diHurb their 

 roots. 



This ihould be duly attended to, but particularly Tuch 

 ftandard-trees, which have tall Hems and full heads; for ic 

 will evidently appear that thole trees, which are fecured, 

 wiU make ilronger fhoots than thofe that are not ; like- 

 wife take care to keep the earth well clofed about the ftems 

 of new-plfnted trees, that the fun, or wind, may not 

 have accefs that way, to dry the earth near the roots. 



Look to the young apricot, peach, and nedarine-trees, 

 which were headed down in the fpring ; they will have 

 made fome ftrong Ihoots, and the faid Ihoots fhould now 

 be nailed to the wall, both to train them timely in regular 

 order, and to fecure ihem from the power of the wind. 



Watering. 

 Water mull ftill be given in very dry weather, to new- 

 planted trees ; but in particular to fuch as were planted 

 late in the fpring., 



Vir.es. 



The vines againft walls which were not looked over, 

 and yroperly regulated lall month, will now require it very 

 much. 



Where this work was omitted in the former month, it 

 fhould now be forv/arded with all convenient expedition, 

 othcrwife it will be impoffible to procure, at the proper 

 feafon, large and well ripened grapes ; for when the vines 

 are perm-tted to run into diforder, it is a great difadvan- 

 tage to the fruit, for the bunches of grapes will not only 

 be fm?Jl, but will alfo be very irregular, and the grapes 

 will ripen late ; and at beil, will be ill tailed.. 



Therefore, where it was not done in May, let the vines 

 be now, in general, gone over: and let them be thorough- 

 ly cleared from all the ufelcfs fhoots, as defcribed Tail 

 month : and then let all the ufeftil Ihoots be immediately 

 nailed in cicfe to the wall, in. a regular and neat man- 

 ner. '
