HE Supply from the forcing Frames will 
often carry the Gardener thither, and he 
muft allow them. an Attention fuited to their 
Produce. Nature is greatly exhaufted by the 
Force ufed to ripen Fruits at- fo early a Seafon, 
and Nourifhment muft be given in Proportion. 
The Earth muft be frequently ftirred about their 
Roots, and they muft have ‘every Day a mone- 
rate Watering. | 
The Trees muft be more and more ‘open’d. to 
the Air, which will be now: too. mild to hurt 
them ; and every other Day it will be. very fer- 
viceable to water them all over, Branches, Leaves 
and Fruit. 
_ The Fig Trees which have been cover’d up 
during Winter, and by Degrees expos’d to the | 
Air in Spring, fhould now be left perfectly open. 
_ Clear away Weeds from the Earth about Fruit 
Trees, and if any feem going into a decaying 
Condition, the Leaves turning yellow or curling. 
up, let them be water’d all over; and:obferve to 
_ do this in the Beginning of the Afternoon, that. 
neither the Sun’s Heat, nor the Night’s. Cold, 
may make the Watering prejudicial. 
- This done,. let the Gardener with his Nails and 
- Lift go over his Fruit Trees againit Walls: if 
any Branch be loofe, let him now faften it cate- 
fully : let him rub off all fore-right and irregular 
Shoots, and train to proper Places all that are 
_ fit for Service. This done along the Walls, let 
him go over the Efpaliers in the fame Manner, | 
and for the’ laft Time this Seafon, reduce every 
Thing to order. | 
Let him look to all new planted’Trees, and fee 
if they be firm in their Place, and promote their 
’ Growth by Watering. — | 
A great deal of Care will be requir’d of the 
Fruit Trees now in Bloom, and fet for Fruit. 
_. We have directed the Winter’s Care of them ; 
‘and have advifed Pieces of Furze to be ftuck 
among the Branches to keep off dangerous 
Blafts: if thefe be not found fufficient, baie: the 
Blofioms, or the new fet Fruit appear in Danger, 
- let them be more thoroughly fhaded by Branches 
of: Laurel, the large Leaves of that Tree keep- 
ing off the Winds better than any. Thing. 
“A great deal of Care muft be taken to faften 
thefe properly; for otherwife the Force of the |

Tis very: late before the Chillynefs of Morn- 
ing and Evening go altogether off; and the Shel-. 
ter. thefe Branches of Laurel have given to the. 
young Fruit and the Blofioms, can but very ill 
be fpared while there remain any of thefe Colds 
in the Air. They mutt therefore be very care- 
fully taken away, and the Branches which had. 
been moft fhelter’d, muft be moft gradually, ex- 
pofed. 
After a little Time their Leaves will grow to a 
Bignefs to ferve as a Defence, and this fhould be 
Be i and expected before the Others are re= 
moved. No Branch that has been once fhaded 
fhould ever be uncover’d till the Bloffoms have 
{tood their full Time, and are faded, and the. 
Fruit is firmly fet. 
The: moft dangerots Fit for the Bloffoms a 
Wall Fruit is, that of black Frotts : the Bloffoms | 
fall, and the new fet Fruits in Numbers during © 
the Continuance of that Weather, and the Caufe 
It is not that thofe Frofts are- 
but no Dew falls in 
fuch Nights which gives ditto: Power. 
The weakeft Tice always fuffers moft by. F pila 
and for the fame Reafon Trees in general will. 
fuffer more by. thefe Frofts than any cotiedyh: be-

~caufe the want of that natural Refrefhment they 
fhould have from the Dews of the Night will 
make them weak. - 
This muft be mribided’ es giving all the. Fruit 
| Trees in fuch Seafons daily Waterings: it muft.

whole Mould -of the Border fhould have the Ad- 
vantage of it.

Thofe who have not feen the in Grlisicn ys: 
cannot well believe the Advantage of it: but if 
any one will try it fairly, by watering the Bor- 
ders at fome of the Trees, and not at others, he 
will fee fuch a Difference as will mney Jieanknis 
convince him.
