Blofloms in the third Year : And being arrived unto this fruitful State, 
(as Fag. Ill.) they. immediately expand themfelves into Blofloms and 
Leaves, (as fag.1, If, Il, 1V, V. Plate Il, Ill.) 
AND again, after the third Year, when their Courfons or Spurs ate 
become fruitfil, Nature does every Year produce new Buds to fucceed 
thofe which are bearing Fruits : For whilft the Pear was coming to its 
Maturity at X, Fig. III. the Buds / / were preparing themfelves to produce 
Blofloms in the following Spring, and at the fame Time Nature pro- 
duced the Bud P to fucceed thofe at 77; and fo on during the Life of
