A COMPLEAT 
G. H A aoeatt 
The M. anagement of Fruit-Trees for the prefent Week. 
HE Work of pruning now fhould be con- 
| tinued with good Care and Affiduity. 
We have directed at large the pruning of the 
Peach-Tree in our laft Number; and that is in 
general a Guidance for other Stone-Fruit. | 
The laft of the Grapes having been now ga- 
thered, the Vines fhould be bined: This an- 
{wers a double Purpofe : it removes at once the 
great Quantity of their Leaves and ufelefs Parts ; 
and being done thus early, the Fruit will have its | 
full Perfection the fucceeding Seafon. 
Vines rarely produce any bearing Shoots from 
Wood that is above one Year old. 
For this Reafon the laft Year’s Wood fhould 
be preferved in every Part where poffible, and 
s : 
the old cut out. . 
The bearing Shoots fhould be left four Eyes 
long; and.cut juft above an Eye, loping back- 
wards from it. | 
In the pruning of Apricots Regard muft be 
had to the Strength of the Tree, and of the fe- 
veral Branches. A ftrong Branch may be left 
nine Inches long; but a a Re one thould not be’ 
-more than five. 
The Branches ould be un- Snes in order for : 
pruning; and when that is done they muft be, 
nailed again, laying them as horizontally as pof- 
fible; for that Pofture beft promotes their 
bearing.

Of the Produéts of the Ruclen- Garden, and Care of the Ground. 
E have nothing to add to te Lift given 
in the preceding Weeks of Kitchen- 
> Garden Products ; nor is it a great deal that can 
now be done to the Ground. We therefore 
comprife this Article in a fingle Chapter; and 
make that a fhort one to give Compafs to thofe 
Article under which more required. 
‘The Cauliflower Plants which we Hidtred to 
_ be preferved from Froft by Glaffes, muft not be 
buried from the Air. 
When there are fine warm and {erene Days, as 
- fuch may come at this Seafon, let the Glaffes be 
fet off from eleven o’Clock to four; and when it 
is more fevere, let them {till, tho’ not taken off, be 
raifed a little at the Sides, to admit free Air when 
it is warmeft in the bright Time of the Day. 
Lettuces that are preferved under Glaffes in 
the fame Manner, fhould have the fame Treat- 
ment and Advantages; and this will promote, 
not injure the Gitatthi of that young Salletting 
we directed to be fowed round the Edges. 
If the Frofts come on, fcatter a little long, 
dry Straw over ys Beds of young Radifhes . ; this 
will mellow the Ground, and preferve the Plants. 
In the open Ground there will be Cauliflowers 
now coming to ripening. Thefe muft be de-. 
fended from Wet and Cold, by breaking in the 
inner Leaves fo as to cover them. 
Laftly, for the Bufinefs of this Week let the 
| Gardener remember what we have direéted in the 
Nurfery : a great deal of the Kitchen-Ground will 
require to be fown in Spring, and as this is va-, _ 
cant for the Winter, let the fame Care be seu 
of it. 
Let the whole intended for this Purpet be 
well dug, and moderately dun ged ; for in this 
Part of the Ground there fhould | be the j joint Jeg 
fiftance of Tillage and Manure. 
Let it be expofed in Ridges laid eaft and welt, 
and once in a Month let thefe be broken and ~ 
thrown up again with a new Surface. The ftrong 
Vapour of the Manure will thus be thrown off, 
and the Ground enriched to the utmoft ig
