Goofeherries would prodacc green 

 fruit fit for Tarts in January and 

 Tebruaryy and probably would ripen 

 about the End of Inarch or the 

 Beginning ot April at the fartheft. 



CurantSy which tend to fhoot 

 forward, might, by the fame Heat 

 that "wrings Cherries in Tebruaryy be 

 forc'd to produce ripe Fruit in A' 

 prily if not fboner. 



As for the Diftance of thele 

 Trees one from another, it need 

 not be fo great as is direfted for 

 thofe planted in the open Air, be- 

 caufe they will never (hoot fb vi- 

 goroufly, therefore eight or nine 

 Feet will be fufficient. 



The higher Parts of the Wall be- 

 ing furnifh'd with Apriccchs, Cher- 

 ries, Nectarines, Teaches and Vlums, 

 the lower fmall Space between them 

 may be fill'd up with Currants, 

 Goofeherries and Kofes, 

 As to the Pruning of the Trees : 

 The Time ot doing it in thefe 

 Frames, muft not be the lame as 

 in other Trees j becaufe in the com- 

 mon Cafe of Stone-Trnit againft 

 Walls, the Spring does not begin 

 till the End ot J-anuary ; but in the 

 forcing Frames, the Spring begins 

 in November : Therefore they fliould 

 be prun'd three Weeks before the 

 Heat is apply'd; for then the Air 

 will be fo artificially temper'd, as 

 to fet the Trees a growing, and 

 the Frofts cannot come at them, if 

 the Glaffes be fet up as fbcn as 

 tliey are prun'd. 

 ' As to the nailing of thefe Trees : 



Every Branch that ftioots muft 

 be laid as clofe to the Wall as can 

 be i for the Fruit which touches 

 the Wall will be ripe a Month foon- 

 er than thofe that lie but two In- 

 ches from it. 



Sometimes it happens that the 

 Tops of fuch Trees have BlofToms 

 a Month or fix Weeks before the 



R 1 



Bottom ; and fometimes one Brancll 

 has been full of Blollbms, whea 

 there have been half a Score ot 

 more Branches of the fame Tree 

 which have not ftirr'd till the 

 Fruit of the fir ft Bloflbms has been 

 almoft ripe, notwithftanding which 

 the Tree has done very well : And 

 it is no uncommon Thing for fuch 

 Trees to have Fruit ripening upon 

 them for near three Months conti- 

 nually. 



As for Goofeberries i fuch Plants 

 as are planted in thefe Frames, 

 fliould be fuch as have fpread ; and 

 when as many Shoots have been 

 nail'd to the Wall as may conve- 

 niently be done, others may be left 

 at a Diftance from it, to fucceed 

 them in ripemng. 



If they are taken up in the 

 Summer, and properly manag'd, 

 they will bear Fruit the firft Year, 

 as well as if they had not been 

 tranfplanted. 



The Currants may be order*d af- 

 ter the fame Manner, and alfo the 

 'Rofes : And the beft kind of Rofe 

 for this Purpofc, is the Monthly 

 Rofe, which ought always to be 

 topped about the End of July or 

 the Beginning of Augujl, to make 

 them put out a good Number 

 of Flower-buds. 



As to the laying the Dung to 



the Wall i 

 The Dung, before it be laid to 

 the Back of the Wall, fliould be 

 thrown up in an Heap^ and lie for 

 fome Days, that it may yield an 

 equal Heat every where, and be 

 conftant. 



When it has been thus prepar'd, 

 it fhould be laid about four Feet 

 thick at the Bafe, and fo Hoping, 

 tin it has but two Feet wide ac 

 the Top. 



It fliould be kid at firft within 



fijur Iriches ot the Top of the 



3 ^ Wall,
