other devouring infeds, before they begin to attack the 

 choice fruit now ripening. 



Let at leail three fuch vials be placed in, each of the 

 largefl trees ; and even in the lefier trees, there Ihould 

 not be lefs than tv/o phials hung up in each; and this 

 Ihould be duly pra^tifed in the peach and nedarine- 

 trees, and fuch like choice kind,'. 



Where this is timely done, it v»'ill be a great protec- 

 tion to the choice fruit : for the infedls, which will now 

 begin to fv/arm about the wall-trees, will, by the fmell 

 of the liquor, be decoyed into the vial, and be drowned, 



The vials ftiould be often locked over in order to 

 empty cut fuch infects as are from time to time catched 

 therein. They fhould alfo be often refilled with a frelh 

 quantity of the abovefaid fweetened water. 



Deftrcy Snails. 



Continue to deilrov fnalls. Search for them early in 

 a morning and in an evening, and after ihowers of rain. 



Thefe vermin do moft damage to the choice wall- 

 fruit j and now in particular to the apricots, peaches, 

 £nd nedarine^;; which trees Hiould now be often and di- 

 ligently looked over, in order to take and deftroy them. 



Bud ditto-, 



o 



Bud in general apricots, peaches, and nedlarlnes ; 

 plums, cherries, and pea.rs. 



That work may be done any time in this month, bat 

 the fooner the principal budding is done the better. 



Let every fort be budded upon its proper ilock; apri- 

 cots, peaches, nectarines, and plums, fnould be budded 

 upon plum-flocks; they generally make the llrongefl and 

 moft laiting trees, when budded upon flocks raifed from 

 plum-flones, or Itocks raifed from the fuckers of plum- 

 trees; though all thefe forts will alfo grow upon Hocks 

 of one another, raifed from the flones of the fruit; and 

 alfo upon almond flocks raifed the fame way : but the 

 plum-ltock is always preferable for ihe general fupply. 



Pears may be. budded upon pear-ilocks ; and thefe 

 mult be raifed by fowing the kernels. Pears alfo fuc- 

 ceed well, in particular for the wall, when budded upon 

 quince-flocks to dwarf them. 



Cherries are to be budded principally upon cherry- 

 flocks, which mufl be alfo raifed by fowing the Hones.
