Shapes proper for Mulberries, Vines, and 

 Figs in the Nurfery, either for Walls or 

 Efpaliers. 



Mulberries and figs are ralfed from 

 layers or cuttings, and ought to 

 be chofen with three branches or more, 

 Avith large lively buds at their upper ends. 

 Vines likewife are raifed from layers, and 

 the number of branches fhould be two or 

 three. I am furprifed that any one fliould 

 prefer cuttings to layers, when the latter 

 have roots, the former none, and muft at 

 leaft be a year more backward. 



Note, I advife by all means to chufe fuch 

 plants as ftand thin in the nurfery ; for 

 thofe that are near together are the moil 

 tender.
