 otherwife the Woflbms will fall away, and not 

 produce much fruit; at which time the plants

 water, otherwife the bloffoms will fall off,

Thofc perfons v, ho arc very curious to have 

 early fruit in forcing-frames, mufi: now begin 

 to add their heat, whether it be dung or fire 

 which they ufe; but, for the earlier fruits, 

 fire is better than dung, becaufe the heat of 

 that may be kept more equal ; for the dung at 

 this feafon, efpecially where it is expofedto the 

 weather, being often damped by great fnows,'Or 

 too much wet, is very fubjedl to lofe its heat; 

 and when the trees have been forced, there 

 muft be great care taken to keep up the heat ; 

 for if, after the trees have been forced out into 

 bloflbrn, they are negleded, and the air within 

 the glafles is not kept nearly to the fame tem- 

 perature of heat, the bloflbms will fall off, and 

 no fruit will fucceed them. There fnould 

 alfo be the fame care taken to let in frefh air 

 whenever there are opportunities, for if they 

 are kept too clofe, they feldom fucceed well > 

 therefore it is not proper to apply the heat too 

 early to the trees, becaufe this monthis often un-
