 lefs fubjeft to fhoot out fuckers afterwards.

 take the handfomeil flioots, and to pick them from fuch 

 branches as produce the greatell quantity of fruit The 

 cuttings fhould be about fix or eight inches long, and fliould 

 be planted in a bed of light earth expofed to the morning 

 fun ; they muft be planted about three inches deep, and 

 watered to help their taking root. The flioots fliould be 

 rubbed off from thefe plants as they put out, except thofe 

 at the top, that there may be a regular Hem. In the 

 Oclober following, they Ihould be removed to a bed of 

 fine light earth, and j)lanted in rows at three feet dillance, 

 and one foot afunder in the rows. They fliould remain 

 here one year, and the crofs branches at times bo cut off, 

 as alfo the lower ones, fo as to ket-p a clean Item about a 

 foot above the ground. They will be then fit to plant out 

 where they are to iland, which fliould be in a light fandy 

 loam. They liiould be kept from the (hade of other trees ; 

 and to have the fruit in its utmoll perfection, fliould be let 

 in an expofed place in rows of eight feet afunder, and each 

 of the flirubs iix feet from the others in the rovvi. The 

 bell time for tranfplanting them is in Oclobcr, when tlie 

 leaves begin to decay. Miller.
