This done to the Plants in general, the Orange

there is no Method of attaining that Excellence, 
but by a due and timely Attention. 
A great Part of the Oranges produced on our 
Trees, fall off during Winter ; and *tis very rare 
, that the beft of them attain their due ‘Growth. 
“Thefe fine Produéts are not enough regarded : we |

he muft allow them much more Care. The

The Danger of Fruits falling off is ‘habit while |

The Orange Tree gets into Flower early, and 
its firft Bloom is to be managed for Fruit. To 
this Purpofe, when the Bloffams ftand too clofe, 
let him take fome off. This thinning of them 
will ftrengthen the reft, and as foon as the Fruit

By this Time, thofe Fruit which followed the 
firft Flowers will have a fair Afpeét, and he fhould 
carefully examine them. Let him leave as many 
-as can have Room to grow to their Bignefs; and 
‘the taking off the reft will encourage thefe to a 
more free Growth. =~ 
On thofe Trees which he fees will ripen the

no more Flowers. 
We have jutft dircied, that when F lowers break 
out upon a Plant that is ripening its Seed, they 
fhould always be deftroyed; and the fame Rule 
fhould hold here. 
Whatever Buds offer for Flowering upon shale 
Trees which are thus managed for Fruit, fhould 
be pulled off as foon as fen, It is. too late to 
nurfe them up for Fruit, for they would be in 
great Hazard of falling off in the Winter; and |

“This Care taken of the Greenhoufe Plants, let 
the Gardener look with a careful Eye. over thofe

to attend to it as now. : 
The Stove Plants will be more fubject at this 
than any other Seafon, to Filth upon their Stems, 
and Infects upon their tender Shoots and Leaves : 
the Heat and Moifture of the Air contribute, and 
the Seafon favours them.

A Spunge and warm Water muft be ufed, and ‘ 
if the Diforder be great, the Water muft be im- 
pregnated with Tobacco Stalks and Soot; every | 
Part muft be cleaned with this, the young Shoots 
and Leaves with the Spunge, and the Stemis with 
a fmall Brufh firft, and afterwards with a Flannel 
dipt in the fame Water. ‘This opens the Pores 
of the Plant, which are as neceflary to Vegetables
