BUT fiance that there is not fo much as one Leaf-Bud between B and A, 
therefore that at A, the extreme Bud, muft not be pruned, becaufe there 
is no other Leaf-Bud to attract Nourifhment to the Bloffoms, and perfpire 
away the Crudities thereof ; for was that Shoot to have the Leaf-Bud A 
prund off, the whole Branch would perifh when the Fruits are ripen’d, 
if any happen to grow thereon. 
AND ‘tis the very fame in the Branches of Peach-Trees : for was 
the Branch A B, Fig. VI. Plate VIII and IX. to have its leading Bud A 
prun’d away, it would die as aforefaid ; but if the laft Year's Shoot A B, 
Fig, Vil. Plate Il and IIL. were to be prun’d at the Bud 4, it would not 
die, becaufe it is a Leaf-Bud, and of the fame Nature as the extreme 
Bud 3B.

generality very large and beautiful, as the old Neawéngton, Fig. IX. 
Plate Ul, Ill. and Fig. VI. Plate VIII, IX. and the Albemarle Peach, 2. 
Fig. Vi. Plate U1, Il. And the late Kinds very fmall, but yet very 
beautiful in cheir Kinds, as the Catherme, Fag. VIII. Plate Il, Ill. the

THE Goodnefs of Peaches depends very much upon their Quantity, 
for they are never worth any thing when left very thick upon the Trees, 
which is always done by a covetous ‘Temper, which makes good the old 
Proverb, AU covet, All lofe. |
