But as mulbeiries are only principally for 

 prefent ufe, for about a month or fix weeks, 

 only a few trees arc c >mmonly planted ; fuch 

 as in fniall gardens fometime^ but one or two, 

 or in larger grounds double or treble that 

 number, or more, efpt-cially as the trees are 

 flow growers, and many years before they at- 

 tain a large growth in full heads to bear any 

 confiderable quantity of fruit ; and by having 

 feveral trees, they together, in iheir younger 

 growih, may affo/d eligible fupplies of ber- 

 ries, but ^vhen advanced to fome confiderable 

 age, with large fpieading heads, theyproduce

 nifties more than fufficienr for the lupply of a 

 large family: fo, according to thofe intima- 

 tions, the trees may be raifed and planted in 

 a fmaller or larger fupply, as Hiall be thought 

 neceiTary. 



The irees are raifed in all the public nur- 

 fery grounds for fale, and where they may 

 be obtained of fome confiderably advanced 

 growth, with a good head of branches to 

 commence immediate bearers in fmall quan- 

 tities of fruit. 



They are propagated or raifed by cuttings, 

 layers, and grafting, as explained for other 

 trees raifed by thefe different methods; in 

 which train the principal fupply for itandards, 

 each with a fingle flem five or fix feet high, 

 then permitted to branch out above, to form 

 a full head : to advance nearly in their natural 



order.
