JULY. 



To be done 

 In the Orchard, and Olitory Garden. 



Sow Lettuce, Radish, etc., to have tender salleting. 



Sow later Pease to be ripe six weeks after Michaelmas. 



Water young planted Trees, and Layers, etc., and 

 prune now Abricots, and Peaches, saving as many of the 

 young likeliest shoots as are well placed ; for the new 

 Bearers commonly perish, the new ones succeeding : 

 Cut close and even. 



Let such Olitory-herbs run to seed as you would 

 save. 



Towards the later end, visit your Vineyards again, 

 etc., and stop the exuberant shoots at the second joint 

 above the fruit ; but not so as to expose it to the 

 Sun. 



Now begin to straighten the entrance of your Bees a 

 little ; and help them to kill their Drones if you observe 

 too many ; setting Glasses of Beer mingled with Hony 

 to entice the Wasps, Flyes, etc., which waste your store : 

 also hang Bottles of the same Mixture near your Red- 

 Roman Nectarines, and other tempting fruits for their 

 destruction ; else they many times invade your best 

 Fruit. 



Look now also diligently under the leaves of Mural- 

 Trees for the Snails ; they stick commonly somewhat 

 above the fruit : pull not off what is bitten ; for then 

 they will certainly begin afresh.
