 alfo be confiderably forwarded in their growth, 

 than when they are managed in the other way ;

 inculcated. 



In the beginning of this month you muft bud 

 all forts of fruits, which were not done the pre- 

 ceding month, bbferving always to do it in an 

 evening, or in cloudy weather. 



Hoe and clean your ground about your ef- 

 palier trees from weeds, as alfo the borders near 

 wall-fruit-trees 5 for if they are permitted to 

 grow at this feafon, they will rob the trees of 

 their nourifhment; and cut off all fuckers 

 which arife from the roots of the trees, as they 

 are produced ; for thefe injure them much, if 

 they are fuffered to remain. 



Look carefully after fnails in the mornings 

 and evenings, but efpecially after a fhower of 

 rain, when they will be tempted to come 

 abroad, and may be at that time eafily taken \ 

 for thefe vermin do great mifchief, but particu-p 

 larly to ftone fruit. 



Place glafs phials filled with honey-water in 

 dilTerent parts of the walls, to deftroy wafps 

 and pifm^ires, which would infeft the choice 



fruit \
