and let the Gardener then look to the Quantity 
of Leaves. There is occafion for a confiderable 
Number, but fometimes on a well nourifh’d Vine 
there will be too many. The Fruit mutt not be 
naked, nor mutt it be hid from the Sun. — 
This is not only a neceffary Care, but it is 
needful to be taken at this Time: few Summers 
are favourable to the ripening of Grapes ; 
chilling Winds that fometimes blow at this Sea- 
fon, and cold Rains, take a very difagreeable 
Effect on the Grapes. |

and if 
they are check’d at this Period, the Summer in 
effect becomes fo much the fhorter to them: not 
only the fhading of the Bunches at this Time will 
retard their future Growth and Ripening, but the 
will by this Mearis be fall, while the ozherg 
have their due Growth; and a Part will be 
fhrivelled and ill tafted, while the others have 
their full Bignefs, and right Flavour. 
The Rene is a Reed- hedge apply’d on that 
Part whence the Winds blot, or a Mat drawn 
over the Trees to fhelter the Fruit from the cold 
Rain. ? 
The next Care is that of thinning them. We 
have directed in what Manner this is to be done 
in the Generality of Fruits; and it is not lefs 
needful on the Vine than any. As we fee the 
Grape ripen worfe than any other Fruit with us, 
we fhould give it every Advantage. — 
The firft Care is to preferve the Bloffoms, and 
the new fet Bunches : 
and when it is known what Bunches will ftand, he 
is to confider how many of them a be left: to 
ripen. 
The firft Choice muft be cade from che Shc 
of the Bunches. Thofe which promife to be 
largeft and handfomeft, muft be left on. | 
In all the large Kind wherever there are ‘two 
Bunches upon a fhort Shoot, one of them mutt 
be taken off: for one will eafily come to Matu-

is loaded with unripen’d Grapes, would have 
brought half of them to Perfection. : 
The fmaller or middle fized Grapes mutt ‘be

The common Gardener does not think it necef- 
fary to thin the Fruit of a Shrub that is fo luxu- .

him what Reafon, and a Knowledge of Nature, 
teaches the Philofopher, that they are differerit
