will be fit to tranfplant to the Places 

 where they are defign'd to remain^, 

 for it h not fo well to let them 

 grow in the Nurferies too large, 

 which will occafion their Roots to 

 be woody, whereby the removing 

 of them will not only hazard the 

 Growth of the Plants, but fuch of 

 them as may take very well, will 

 remain ftunted for two or three 

 Years before they will be able to 

 recover their Check. The foil in 

 which thefe Plants thrive to the 

 greateft Advantage, is a rich, light, 

 landy Loam, though they will do 

 very well upon mofl Soils and Si- 

 tuations: But where this Fruit is 

 cultivated, in order to procure it in 

 the greateil Perfedion, they Ihould 

 never be planted in the Shade of 

 other Trees, but muft have a free 

 open Expofure: The Diftance they 

 ought to be planted, is eight Feet 

 Row from Row, and fix Feet 

 afunder in the Rows : The beft 

 Scafon for tranfplanting them, is 

 in Ociober, when their Leaves begin 

 to decay, obferving, as was before 

 dire<a:ed, to prune their Roots, and 

 trim off all lateral Shoots, or fuch 

 as crofs each other, fhortening all 

 long Branches, {b as to make the 

 Head regular. 



In the pruning of thefe Shrubs, 

 moft People make ufe of Garden- 

 Sheers, obferving only to cut the 

 Head round, as is pra6lis'd for Ever- 

 greens, ^c. whereby the Branches 

 become fo much crowded, that 

 what Fruit is produced, never grows 

 to half the Size as it would do, 

 were the Branches thin'd and prun'd 

 according to Art ; which fh.ould 

 always be done with a pruning 

 Knife, fliortning the ftrong Shoots 

 to about ten Inches, and cutting 

 out all thofe which grow irregular, 

 and thinning the fruit - bearing 

 Branches where they are too thick ^

obferving always to cut behiiKJ a 



Leaf-biid : With this Management^ 

 your Fruit will be near twice as 

 large as thofe which are produced 

 upon liich Bulhes as are not thus 

 pruned, and the Shrubs will con- 

 tinue in Vigour much longer 5 but 

 you muft oblerve to keep the Ground 

 clear from Weeds, and dig k at 

 leaft once a Year, and every other 

 Year you fhould beftow a little 

 rotten Dung upon it, which will 

 greatly improve the Fruit. 



It is a common Pradtice with 

 the Gardeners near London, who 

 have great Quantities of thefe 

 Bulhes, in order to fupply the 

 Markets, to prune them foon after 

 Michaelmas, and then to dig up 

 the Ground between the Rows^ 

 and plant it with Coleworts for 

 Spring Ufe, whereby their Ground 

 is employed all the Winter with- 

 out prejudicing the GoofeberrieSj 

 and in hard Winters thefe Coleworts 

 often efcape, when thofe wliich are 

 planted in an open Expofure, are 

 all deftroy'd j and thefe are gene- 

 rally puird up for Ufe in TehrtMry 

 or Marshy fo that the Ground is 

 clear before the Goofeberries come 

 out in the Spring, which is a Piece 

 of Husbandry well worth prawtifing 

 where Ground is dear, or where
