KALENDARIUM HORTENSE 



JUNE. 



To be done 

 In the Orchard, and Olitory Garden. 



Sow Lettuce, Chevril, Radish, etc., to have young 

 and tender Salleting. 



About the midst of June you may inoculate Peaches 

 Abricots, Cherries, Plums, Apples, Pears, etc. 



You may now also (or before) cleanse Vines of exuberant 

 branches and tendrils, cropping (not cutting) and stop- 

 ping the joynt immediately before the Blossoms, and 

 some of the under branches which bear no fruit ; especi- 

 ally in young Vineyards when they first begin to bear, 

 and thence forwards. 



Gather Herbs in the Fall, to keep dry ; they keep and 

 retain their virtue, and smell sweet, better dry'd in the 

 shade than in the Sun, whatever some pretend. 



Now is your season to distill Aromatic Plants, etc. 



Water lately planted Trees, and put moist and half- 

 rotten Fearn, etc., about the pot of their Stems. 



Look to your Bees for Swarms, and Casts ; and begin 

 to destroy Insects with Hooses, Canes, and tempting 

 baits, etc. Gather Snails after rain, etc. 



Fruits in Prime, or Yet Lasting, 

 apples. 



Juniting (first ripe), Pepins, John-apples, Robillard, 

 Red-Fennouil, etc., French.
