Let him, now he fees the Reafon of it, be — 
careful to bring into the Seminary, or to re- 
move into Quarters from the Seed-Beds, Stocks 
of thefe three Kinds for his Apples. They may 
be raifed either from Kernels of the feveral

Tree; but it gives a Sharpnefs to the Apple,

We have fhewn how the Tafte and Subftance 
of Fruits may be altered by the Stock’ on which 
they are grafted; and thus there is a Way of | 
remedying this Imperfection of the Apricot. 
Our Gardeners are not fo careful as they ought —

If it be on a mealy, infipid, or {weet Plum; —.

: if this Stock

its Tafte gives a Spirit to the Apricot, and its 
Fruit is never fo mealy or infipid; indeed I ne- - 
ver tafted a common Apricot fine when ripe, 
There is alfo a great Advantage attending 
this Kind of Stock; which is, chat j it is not too 
and it is alfo very. free from Gum. 
For the Peach and Neétarine, the beft of all | 
- Stocks, and indeed the only one that is proper, is 
the Green Gage Plum raifed from the Stone. 
All Gardeners know the Difadvantages to 
which thefe tender Trees are liable, when raifed 
here; but of all the Accidents that attend them, 
I have found the worft to arife from the Nature 
of the Stock; our People raifing them upon 
the Mufcle and Wheat Plum ; and in my own 
Experience I have found, that when raifed upon 
the Green Gage Stock; both Peach and Necta-_ 
rine, even the beft Kinds of them, thrive well. — 
_ They are not-fo fubject to Blights, and they 
produce healthy and flourifhing Trees. —

Kinds from their own Roots at once ; but the

Let the Gardener raife fome Stocks from 
Kernels, as we thall dire& in its proper Place ; 
and if he have none in the Seminary at prefent, 
let him. bring in fome from an honeft Nurfery- 
Man, to plant with the reft at this Seafon. 
Thefe are the Kinds to be planted in their 
feparate Quarters in the Seminary this Week. 
Let them be fet with Regularity, and allowed a 
good Diftance. — 
In the fame Manner let ieee be a Plantation 
made of the feveral other Trees, from which 
{ they may be next removed into the Places 
where they are to remain in the Wildernefs, or 
in the proper Quarters of the Garden.
