THE SCOTS GARDENER 



By kirnells or seeds, are aples, pears, quinces, 

 goosberries, currans, barberries, vines, mulberries,

 vice; filbeards on the hassell; service, walnuts, 

 chesnut, goosberrie, curran, all on their own 

 kind.

 fleshy substance, and spread to dry a little, especi- 

 ally the cyder-marie, lest it heat; you may roll it 

 in sand to help the separation : keep it in a couch 

 of dry sand till winter pass, then sow it as soon as 

 the frosts are over ; it comes up that season. 



Peach, plum and almond-stones must be used in 

 all cases as cherries ; only you may break the peach- 

 stones. Use the quince-seed as aples. As for the

 as before for forest-trees. Sow every species by 

 themselves, keep them clean of weeds; and the next,
