| ‘TH I'S Week it will be proper to put into the 
Depth : 
Ground the Stones of féveral Kinds of 
Plams for raifing Stocks for the future Ufe of 
grafting. There is no Difficulty in this; but if 
due Care be not ufed they often mifcarry. 
Let the Earth be opened for them a Spade’s 
the Surface be laid level. Upon this fpread 
_ the Stones evenly, and at a moderate. Diftance ; 
and cover them an Inch and a half.with Mould. 
Then fpread fome-Mulch: over the Surface, 
and fet two or three Traps for Mice. In this 
Manner they will have Time to prepare for 
fhooting ; and they will be fecured from the 
Severity of the Weather. | 
By this Method a great many of them will 
fhoot, and there will be the Foundation of a 
good Supply for the fucceeding Seafons. 
Every Year this Practice fhould be repeated ; 
for there is little Trouble in it; and it muft be 
very agreeable to a good nisnraiyt ee to. 
have a due Supply of ther. 
- This is a very good Time alfo for raifing 
Beech from Seed. It is a Tree that may be in- 
troduced with Advantage on feveral Occafions 
in Gardening, and planted: in watte Ground, ‘to 
_ the great Benefit of the Owner. 
It will grow on the barreneft and’ meft rocky 
Soils; and. the Timber ‘is’ of conftant Sale to 
the Upholiterers and Turners. Diss 
In large Gardens it makes a very ¢ sood Hedge,

Now is the Time for fowing it. 
Let the Matt

and after fpreading a few Days to harden it,

Earth, and covered an Inch with fine light 
Mould. Let fome Furze Buthes be thrown over

Trees may be drawn and planted out in other 
_ Places, the reft ftanding more free. 
If there were Layers of any Kind made the for-

them off from the Mother Plants.

Thus

_as we have direé¢ted in the preceding Numbers. 
Thefe being removed, let others be layed, 
that they may be ready for the fame Opera.

fome Kind that had continued fo long is loft; 
and none offer for a new Supply : therefore we |

- There yet'remain fome Grapes, and with good 
Care they will continue longer. 
The Poértugal Grape, diitinouithied by this 
Name bedaule frequently imported from that 
‘Country i in the Bunch, will with due Care now 
‘begin to ripen in our Gardens. 
It4s a very rich 
and noble Grape; ‘the Bunches are large, but 
the Betries: hang irrégularly and in a {cattered 
Manner; they are very large, and of a’ reddith 
Purple, covered’ with a fine blue Powder: the

FE fet is ‘firm, and of an extremely fine Flavour. 
Some Seafons this Grape will ripen in the com- 
mon Way ; but in almoft any it will fucceed with 
a hot Wall, and the Tafte will be at leaft equal 
to what we receive from Abroad under the Dif- 
advantages of Carriage. 
The White Morillion is another Grape of this 
Seafon ; and tho’ it has Difadvantages, yet is not 
without its Excellence. The Skin is hard and dif- 
agreeable, but the Juice is very rich. It is a 
round white Grape in thick Bunches. 
The black Raifin Grape is alfo now in its Per- 
fection, if managed with due Care: elfe it does 
not well ripen. This is a large Grape in great 
Bunches : the Berries are oblong and black, and 
they are well tafted.
