Wall, for it will fink to about 

 three Feet in fix Weeks time ; and 

 then fome frefli Dung muft be 

 laid, becaufe the firfl: Heat will not 

 do much more than fwell the Buds 

 of the Trees, or begin to bring 

 them to a green Colour, or at the 

 moft will but barely fliew the Co- 

 lour of the Bloflbm-Buds. 



But according as the Frofts fliall 

 have happen'd to have had more or 

 lefs Influence over the Buds, this 

 will happen fooner or later. 



If thefe Trees be cover'd with 

 the GlalTes, it will contribute very 

 much to forward their Bloilbming j 

 for tho' their BloiToms will not be 

 deftroy'd by the Frofts, yet the 

 inore the Frofts come at them, 

 they will both be the drier, and 

 more hard to open. 



If the Weather be tolerably mild, 

 the Trees ought not to be hinder 'd 

 from the Benefit of the Showers 

 till the Buds begin to ftir ; but af- 

 terwards the Glafles fliould be kept 

 conftantly over them till the Influ- 

 ence of the Sun is fbmcthing coii- 

 fiderabie. 



But the Doors which are at each 

 End of the Frame, fhould, in the 

 mean time, be fet open, when the 

 Wind does not blow too Iharp, and 

 the Sun fliines any thing warm : 

 And if this docs not happen in the 

 Space of a Fortnight, then the 

 Doors at both Ends may be open'd, 

 and Mats of Bafs or Canvafs fhould 

 be hung up over the Door- ways 

 to corred: the Winds, and give the 

 Air leave to circulate in the 

 Frames. 



As for Cherries j about three 

 Changes of Dung will be fiiflicient 

 to bring them to a due Ripenefs in 

 Tekructry, fuppofing each Parcel re- 

 mains a Month at the Back of the 

 Wall. 



But as for Apricochf, Crapes, Ne- 



R o 



ciarlnes, Teaches and Tlums, if April 

 proves cold, the forcing Heat muft: 

 be continued till May is fettled j 

 but fome of the Glafles fliould be 

 open'd in the Morning, in March 

 and April, when the Wind is ftill, 

 and the Sun warm ; and they fliould 

 be permitted to receive the Show- 

 ers that fall, while the Fruit is 

 growing i but while they are in 

 Blofl^m no Rain fliould come near 

 them, becaufe if there fhould be a- 

 ny Moifturc lodg'd in the Bofbm 

 of the Flowers, and the Sun fliould 

 ftiine hot thro' the Glafles, it would 

 be apt to deftroy them. 



The Dung that comes from thefe 

 Frames having loft its Heat, may 

 be laid in Heaps to rot for the me- 

 liorating of ftubborn Grounds. 



Another thing which ought to 

 be obferv'd in planting Jruit in 

 thefe Frames, is to plant thofe 

 Iruits which come forward toge- 

 ther, and thofe which com.c late 

 by themielves, becaufe it will be 

 prejudicial to the forward Irnit to 

 to give them any more Heat when 

 they have done bearing ; when at 

 the fame time the later Fruits fet 

 amongft them may require more 

 Heat, and to be continued longer j 

 fome of them, perhaps, requiring 

 an artificial Heat till May. 



There may alfo a Row or two 

 of Scarlet StraTvbcrries be planted 

 near to the Back ot this Frame; 

 and thefe you may expe6t will be 

 ripe by the End of February or Be- 

 ginning of March. 



As tor the Vifies, they may pro- 

 bably be brought to bloflTom, and 

 have ripe Grapes in May. 



There may alio be here and there 

 planted a Monthly Roje-tree, and Hy- 

 aei'aths, yonquHs, NarciJjHs's, Toly- 

 anthus's, and alio early Tulips might 

 be planted in the Borders.
