FEBRUARY. 



To be done 

 In the Orchard, and Olitory Garden. 



Prime Fruit-trees, and Vines, as yet. Remove gran's 

 of former year grafting. Cut and lay Quick-sets. Yet 

 you may Prune some Wall-fruit (not finish'd before) 

 the most tender and delicate : But be exceedingly care- 

 ful of the now turgid buds and bearers ; and trim up 

 your Palisade Hedges, and Espaliers. Plant Vines as 

 yet, and the Shrubs, Hops, etc. 



Set all sorts of kernels and stony seeds. Also sow 

 Beans, Pease, Radish, Parsnips, Carrots, Onions, Garlick, 

 etc., and Plant Potatoes in your worst ground. 



Now is your Season for Circumposition by Tubs, 

 Baskets of Earth, and for laying of Branches to take 

 Root. You may plant forth your Cabbage-plants. 



Rub Moss off your Trees after a soaking Rain, and 

 scrape and cleanse them of Cankers, etc., draining away 

 the wet (if need require) from the too much moistened 

 Roots, and earth up those Roots of your Fruit-trees, 

 if any were uncover'd. Cut off the webs of Caterpillars, 

 etc. (from the Tops of Twigs and Trees) to burn. Gather 

 Worms in the evenings after Rain. v 



Kitchen-Garden herbs may now be planted, as Parsly, 

 Spinage, and other hardy Pot-herbs. Towards the 

 middle of later end of this Moneth, till the Sap rises 

 briskly, Graff in the Cleft, and so continue till the last 

 of March ; they will hold Apples, Pears, Cherries, 

 Plums, etc. Now also plant out your Colly-flowers
