There are feveral other Varieties 

 of this Fruit which have been ob- 

 tain'd from Seeds in different Parts 

 of England, which differ either in 

 the Shape or Colour of the Berries i 

 but as thefe are only feminal Varia- 

 tions, fo it is needlefs in this Place 

 to enumerate them, eipecially fince 

 the Number of thefe will be en- 

 creas'd continually from Seeds, 



Thefe are propagated either by 

 Suckers taken from the old Plants, 

 or by Cuttings i the latter of which 

 I prefer to the former, becaufe thofe 

 Plants which are produc'd from 

 Suckers, are always more difpos'd 

 to fhoot out a greater Number of 

 Suckers from their Roots than fuch 

 as are raifed from Cuttings, which 

 do generally form much better 

 Roots. 



The befl Seafon for planting thefe 

 Cuttings is in February, juft before 

 their Buds begin to open; obferv- 

 ing always to take the handiomefl 

 Shoots, and from fuch Branches 

 as generally produce the greatefl 

 Quantity of Fruity for if you take 

 thofe which are produc'd from the 

 Stem of the old Plants, (which are 

 conirrionly very luxuriant) they will 

 not be near fo fruitful as thofe 

 taken from bearing Branches . Thefe 

 Cuttings ihould be about fix or eight

Inches long, and mufl be planted in 

 a Border of light Earth, expos 'd to 

 the iMorning Sun, about three Inches 

 deep, obferving to water them 

 gently, when the Weather proves 

 dry, to facilitate their Root; and 

 in the Summer, when they have 

 put out, you fhould rub off all the 

 under Shoots, leaving only the up- 

 per mofl or flrongefl, which fhould 

 be train'd upright to form a regular 

 Stem. In O^ober following, thefe 

 Plants will be fit to remove 5 at 

 which Time you fhould prepare an 

 open Spot of frefh Earth, which 

 fhould be well dug and cleans'd from 

 all noxious Weeds, Roots, o>c. and 

 being levell'd, you fhould proceed 

 to take up your Plants, trimming 

 their Roots, and cutting off all la'- 

 teral Side -branches i then plant 

 them at three Feet Diffancp Row 

 from Row, and one- Foot afundcr 

 in the Rows, obferving to place 

 fome fhort Sticks to the Plants, in 

 order to train their Stems upright 

 and regular. In this Place they may 

 remain two Years, being careful to 

 keep them clear from Weeds, as 

 alfo to dig up the Ground between 

 the Rows once a Year, which 

 fhould be in the Spring ; as alfo to 

 trim off all lateral Shoots which 

 are produc'd below the Head of the 

 Plant, fo that the Stem may be 

 clear about a Foot in Height above 

 the Surface of the Earth, which 

 will be full enough j and as the 

 Branches are produc'd commonly 

 very irregular in the Head, fo you 

 mull: cut out liich of them as crofs 

 each other, or thin them where 

 they are too dole, whereby the 

 Head of the Plant will be open, and 

 capable of admitting the Air freely 

 into the Middle, which is of great 

 Ufe to all kinds of Fruits. 



After thefe Plants have rcmain'd 

 in this Nurfery two Years, they
