'2g0 FRUIT GARDEN UIETLAYED. 



proper feafon. Autumn or Spring ; and may 

 be raifed as direfled below. 



The trees are railed by nuts, the common 

 fort; alio all the forts by fuckcvs from the 

 roots, and by layers, to continue the different 

 varieties the fame : likewife the improved va- 

 rieties, by grafting them upon Itocks of tl.e 

 common hazel; and the Conllantinople kind, 

 a dilHndt fpecies, may be raifed either from 

 nuts, fuckers, layers, &c. And all of which 

 trained in fmall ftandards, fome in buftiy 

 growths, others in fingle upright Hems, two 

 or three to four or five feet high, or more, 

 branching out above in full heads ; then tranf- 

 plantcd where they are to remain, in the order 

 and dillances : bove-mentioncd. 



Or in raifing them by fuckers, taking them 

 up with as much root as poffible, thofe of a 

 good growth may be planted at once where 

 they are always to ll;ind. 



The culture of thefe trees is only to give 

 occafional pri^ning, to regulate any very dif- 

 orderlv growths, as obfervcd of the filberts ; 

 and to thofe trained in fingle ftandard?, in 

 gardens, to clear them from bottom fuckers, 

 and any too low growing produdions of ihoots 

 and branches. 



The nuts ripen the latter end of Auguft, 

 and in September, till Odober, difcovering 

 jDaturity when the cups change brown, as in 

 the filberts, and may then be gaihered as 

 wanted ; and when wholly ripe, gather and 

 hojile them for keeping.
