two Hundred of indifferent : certainly every Ma- |

the clearing away more than is ufually.done, and 
let not the Gardener now be afraid of making a 
free Beginning. ~The firft Growth J is a very great

edison: for there are many Accidents to. which. 
the Remainder are yet liable; and common Pru-

‘Snails are the great tae of Fruit at this | 
Time ; and they mutt be watch’d daily at. the 
Times of their coming out of their Holes, and 
deftroy’d. At early Morning, 
the Evening they always Gut 3 found: and at 
any Time of the Day when there are Showers, 
and the Air i is not too chill. mS
