Grafting the Orange, 



The time of pruning trees, thinning fruit, and its ripening, 

 can be arranged in a similar way, and it would be equally 

 easy to enter memoranda of any information of work to be 

 performed, collected from books, or even conversation; for 

 instance, " March, figs in pots, L. G M. ii. 236." This, written 

 in pencil in January, would show the work was to be done in 

 March, and where the directions could be found. By the 

 same rule, if, in going through a garden or in conversation, a 

 different time of sowing or planting of any crop appears to 

 answer better than that now adopted, only place the initials 

 of the informant and the date under the month opposite the 

 vegetable. Suppose in May I see a very fine crop of early 

 cabbages, and 1 find they were sown a few days earlier than 

 usual, say August 8th, I should, opposite " cabbage," under 

 August, write with pencil "I. C. L. 8th;" this would refresh 

 my memory, not only as to the day of doing the work, but 

 as to my informant as well. 



I remain, dear Sir, 

 June 2. 1827. Suffolciensis.

 ing the Orange. By Mr. James Reeve, Gardener to G.

Sir,

 following statement : —
