cxhauft the Nouriftiment from the 

 bearing Branches, which in my 

 Opinion cannot be too ftrong, pro- 

 vided they are kindly j for the more 

 vigorous your Tree is, the more 

 likely it is to refift the Injuries of the 

 Weather : And I have often feen 

 Trees brought to fb weak a Condi- 

 tion, as to be able only faintly to 

 blow their Bloflbms, and thcnmoft, 

 or all of the bearing Branches have 

 died y which has given Occafion to 

 the Owner to imagine it was the Ef- 

 fed of a Blight, when in Reality it 

 was only for Want of right Manage- 

 ment : And I am fully perfuaded, 

 lialf the Blights we hear complain'd 

 of, proceed from nothing elfe but 

 this. 



Thefe few Rules, well executed, 

 together with a little Obfervation 

 and Care, will be fufficientj and to 

 pretend to prefcribe particular Di- 

 redions for all the different Acci- 

 dents, or Manner of treating Fruits, 

 would be impoflible -, but I believe 

 the Reader will find what has been 

 faid, if duly attended to, will an- 

 fwer his Deiign j for, without dili- 

 gent Obfervation, there can be no 

 fuch Thing as a skilful Manager, let 

 him have never fb many or good In- 

 ilru£tionslaid down to him. 



The Bruxelles and Breila Aprkocks, 

 being for the moft part planted for 

 Standards, will require very little 

 Pruning, or Management j only ob- 

 serve to take out all dead Wood, or 

 iiich Branches as crofs each other : 

 This muft be done early in Autumn^ 

 or in the Spring, after the cold Wea- 

 ther is paft, that the Part may not 

 canker, wherethelncilionis made. 



The Bruxelles is by far the moft 

 delicious Fruit of all the Aprkocks^ 

 and is greatly mended by growing 

 on a Standard : It is ripe about the 

 Beginning oi' Auguji, and is of a 

 middling Siie.
