AR-TREES differ very much in their Time and Manner 
st of producing Fruits : Some Kinds produce their Fruits on the 
Mo@r extreme Part of the fame Years Wood, as Mr. Hil/s’s double 
bearing Pear of Zedington, (Fig. VV. Plate LXUL) ; others at the Ex- 
tremity of the Branches alfo, but upon the laft Year's Wood ; and 
laity, others upon Branches of three Years old, and fometimes vai 
‘ ing € more or bel Deus trancy oF the Tree : But for the Ge- 
of three Years Growth, which, if skilfally oat continue fertile many 
Years afterwards. Now fince that the annual Shoots of fuch Kinds of 
Pears are in the fecond Year preparing | themfelves to produce Fruits in the 
third Year ; therefore all fuch Kinds fhould be well furnifh’d with thofe 
feveral Sorts of Wood, that, by having a fufficient Quantity thereof, 
we may be always furnifh’d with fruitful Branches to fiicceed thofe 
that become barren by Time. 
THIS is exhibited in Plate LX. where Fig. I. is a true Reprefen- 
tation of the laft Year’s Shoot of the Virgoulee Pear, with its Courfons, 
or Spurs, PMON, from whence the Fruits are produc’d in the third 
Year. ST V are Leaf-Buds, which are placed’ to attract Nourifhment 
to the Courfons, and perfpite away the Crudities thereof. 
“THOSE Courfons PMON muft be thotrch'a at the next Seafon 
of Pruning after they are produc’d, (as EF G, Fig: HL) which wall, in 
the fecond oy caufe them to produce many Buds, as bc fb, that in
