Oblorve ncw^ in ordering the vines, as in the former 

 month, to nail in all the ftrong fnoots as have fruit upon 

 tliem ; and ail fuch other fhoots as are llrong, and rife in 

 parts of the wood where wanted, muft likewife be left, and 

 Lid in clofe ; but clear away all fmall weak fhoots in every 

 part : ant] likewife take off all fuch fhoots as are barren, 

 and rife in places where not wanted, or cannot be readily 

 trained in. 



Thofe vines which were looked over, and ordered in 

 May, Ihould now be locked over again. 



In doing this, obferve to clear away all fhoots whatever, 

 that have been produced fmce lafl month ; and be fure to 

 rub oft' all thofe fmail fhoots, vyhich rife from the fides oi

 Vineyards. 



The vineyard ftill demands agccd fhare of attendance : 

 the vines mufl not be fuffered to run into confufion, for 

 in preventing this depends the whole fuccefs. 



Therefore let the bearing flioots be trained to the flakes, 

 with feme degree of regularity, fo that every fhoot may 

 enjoy the fame benefit of the fun and free air. At the 

 fsme time difpiace all weak and ftraggling fhoots, and all 

 fuch as cannot be trained in proper order to the Hakes. 



Deflroy weeds in the vineyard; this is alfo a very necef- 

 fary work, for it is abfolutely a very great advantage to 

 the growth and timely ripening of the grapes, to keep the 

 ground near the vines clean. 



Buddings or Inoculating^ 



Budding, or inoculating, may be begun upon flone- 

 fruit, in the third or fourth week in the month. 



The forts proper to begin upon, are the early kinds of 

 apricots, peaches, and ne«!tarines. 



Cloudy weather beft fuits this work; but if no fuch 

 weather happens, it will then be mofl proper to do it in a 

 morning or evening- 



The proper Rocks on which to bud the above kinds of 

 fruit-trees, are principally thofe of the plum ; and when 

 two or three years old, are of a proper fize to bud upon ; 

 or thefe flocks may alfo be raifed from the fuckers of 

 plum-trees. See the work of budding next month, for the 

 different forts cf Hocks, and the work of February, where 

 are dircdlions for railing them, both from feed and fuckers.
