wfiich renders them worthy of a 

 Place in the beft Gardens, where 

 feeing intermix'd with other flow- 

 ering Trees, either in Wildernefs 

 Quarters, or in Walks, they afford 

 a very agreeable Proipe£t. 



They are propagated by inocu- 

 lating a Bud of thcie Trees into a 

 Phimb, Almond, or Peach-ftock, 

 m the Month of fuly j ( the Man- 

 ner ©f this Operation fee under the 

 Article of Irwculatwn, ) The next 

 Spring, when the Buds fhoot, you 

 may train them up either for Stand- 

 ards, or fuffer them to grow for half 

 Standards ( according to your own 

 Fancy ) i and the fecond Year, alter 

 fcudding, they may be removed to 

 the Places, w^here they are to remain. 

 The bed: Seafon for tranfplanting 

 thefc Trees ( if for dry Ground ) is 

 m OBobeVy as foon as the Leaves 

 begin to decay ; but for a wet Soil 

 Tebrtmry is much preferable j and 

 obferve always to bud upon Plumb- 

 ftocks for wet Ground ^ and Al- 

 monds or Peaches for dry. 



The Almond with whJte Flowers 

 is a greater Curiolity than either of 

 the former ; and being intermix'd 

 with the other Sorts, and a few of 

 the Cherry Plumb- Trees, which 

 Eower all together, add very much 

 to the Beauty of thefe Plantations : 

 This Sort, with white Flowers, is 

 more difficult toincreafe than either 

 of the former, and will not take 

 iipon a Plumb-ftock, but mufl: be 

 either budded on a Peach or Almond. 



The Sort with large Fruit pro- 

 duces aim oft every Year large Quan- 

 tities with us in England, which if 

 eaten before they are too dry, are 

 little inferior to thofe we receive 

 from abroad j but if kept too long, 

 they are very apt to {hrivel up, and 

 \o£e their Piumpnefs ^ but in other 

 reipcdts arc very good.

The Ethiopian Sort is tender, anJ 

 requires a good Green-houfe to 

 preferve it in Winter : It is increas'd 

 by planting Cuttings ( that are ten- 

 der, with a Joint of the laft Year's. 

 Wood ) in any of the Summer 

 Months, in Pots of good light Earth, 

 plunging them into a moderate Hot- 

 bed, and keeping them fhaded in 

 the Heat of the Day, giving them 

 frequent Refrefhings with Water : 

 After they have taken Root, you 

 muft begin to harden them by De- 

 grees to endure the open Air, a little 

 before they are hous'd, which will 

 render them fitter to endure the 

 Winter -, for if they are too much 

 drawn in Summer, they are very 

 often deftroy'd in Winter. 



Thefe Trees may be expos'd to the 

 open Air, with Oranges, ^c. ( in 

 a well-fhelter'd Place ) during the 

 Months o^^une, Juljy and Augufi ; 

 but muft be hous'd, before the hoary 

 Frofts fall, which will very much 

 prejudice them, if left abroad : 

 They muft have a very good Green- 

 houfe in Winter, and gentle Water- 

 ings, as you obierve tJie Leaves to 

 curl : But be fure not to over- wet 

 them in Winter -j which if once 

 done, isfeldom to be got dryagaia 

 'till Spring, and will be very preju- 

 dicial to the neighbouring Plants, by 

 the great Damp it will occaiion- in 

 the Houfe.
