 the weather will permit ; for when they are 

 gathered too early, their fkins will ihrivel, fo 

 the fruit will not keep well ; and there will be 

 no danger of their fuffering upon the trees un- 

 til the mornings begin to be frofty, when you 

 mull not let the fruit hang longer, efpecially 

 the melting Pears ; becaufe if the froft fliould 

 pinch their ikins, it would greatly injure them. 

 You muft always obferve to gather your fruit 

 when they and the leaves of the trees are per- 

 fectly dry, otherwife it will not keep. 



The Grapes of the vineyard, which are now 

 almoft ripe, muft be guarded from birds, other- 

 wife they will make great havock of them where 

 they ^re fuffered to feed upon them without 

 moleftation ; and where the birds have pecked 

 any of the Grapes, the flies and wafps will im- 

 mediately attack them, and eat them up. 



Tranfplant Strawberries, Rafpberries, Goofe- 

 berries, and Currants, tov/ards the end of this 

 month, if the weather proves moift, otherwife 

 it will be better to defer it until the beginning 

 of the next month: and this is the beft feafon 

 to plant cuttings of Goofeberries and Currants 3 

 which will take root and make better plants, 

 than thofe which are propagated by fuckers. 



Your fruit trees again ft the wall of your 



forcing-frame muft now be pruned and trained
