The Management of the. NURSERY, for this Week. 
FAHIIS Week it will be very proper to bud | from Weeds, and the young Plantations wa-: 
- Plums and Pears. Too much Care cannot » 
be taken in the Choice of the Stocks for this Pur- 
pofe; for on thefe, Vigour of the Trees, and 
Goodnefs of the Fruit, will in a great Meafure 
depend. © | ee 
The common Practice for Plums is to bud the 
good Kinds upon the Suckers taken from the 
Roots of other ftrong Sorts; but the beft Way is 
'~ to raife the Stocks by Sowing: and there is no 
Kind fo proper as the green Gauge, which is ex- 
cellent in itfelf, and hardy enough to have all the | 
_ neceflary Qualities for other good Kinds. 
In Regard of Pears, the Kind intended to be 
‘budded fhould give the Rule for the Stock. The 
Quince Stock agrees very well with Pears, and | aD 
| Kinds; and the Branches formed below; which 
fhould be chofen for thofe Trees intended for 
Dwarfs or Efpaliers, and for thofe Kinds which 
are melting. On the contrary, for the breaking 
Pears, the beft Stock is fome Pear of the melting 
- Kind. The Method differs in nothing from that | 
of other Kinds which we have delivered already. 
This Week alfo the later Peaches and Neéta- 
rines may very properly be budded.  ~ 
It will be Time now alfo to look over thofe 
which were budded firft: it will be eafy to fee 
which are likely to fucceed; and it will be proper 
to loofen the Bandages a little, to give free Courfe 
to the Sap. | 
This done, let the whole Ground be cleared 
tered. ; : 
- The Seedlings not yet removed out of their 
firft Beds will require the greateft Care. Befide 
Weeding and Watering, they will more and more 
need fhading from the extreme Heat of the 
Sun. | ae So 
‘When every thing is thus put in Order refpect- 
ing the young Plantation, let the Gardener go 
round the Ground where thofe ftand that are of a 
more advanced Growth, and with his Knife reduce 
them to Order. | | 7 
Where there are Shoots too near the Bottom in, 
“thofe Trees intended for forming good Heads, 
they muft be carefully taken off. All the Efforts 
of Nature are intended for the upper Part in thefe 
are of no Ufe, will be of great Mifchief, by drain- 
ing the Juices and robbing the Head. © 
_Everegreens, which are training to Form, 
will’ require the fame Care and Management. 
We have got over the falfe Tafte, which cut thefe ao 
into fhagey Giants, or immoveable Weather- 
cocks ; but ftill there is fome Training neceffary, 
for whatever Purpofe they are required. ‘Thefe, 
like the other Trees, will pufh out Shoots in 
wrong Places; and fome of thofe intended to 
{tand will be too long: the one Kind mutt be cut 
away, the others fhortened; and this is a very 
proper Seafon.. |

POMONA or th FRUIT-GARDEN. 
™ 
LL Kinds of Infeéts which are deftrudive | after the Caterpillars, leaves them open to the 
among Fruit-T'rees, are now abundant upon 
and about them, and nothing but the moft affi- 
duous Care of the Gardener can prevent their 
Mifchief: a little Negleét will fhew him that he 
has dug and dung’d, and prun’d and nail’d, for 
thefe, more than his Mafter. 
Fvery one knows that Vials of Syrup are to 
be hung at this Seafon upon the Trees ; but thefe 
are only Baits for Flies and Wafps, which would 
attack the Fruit : the Caterpillar which preys upon 
the Leaves is often a more terrible Enemy. | 
We have explained the effential Ufe of Leaves 
about Fruit ; and he whofe Negligence in looking 
Mifchief, will be very fenfible of the Truth of 
that Doétrine. 
The moft promifing will fade and wither upon 
this Deftruction of the Leaves; and thofe from 
which there was moft Expectation will never 
ripen. 
The moft mifchievous are the fingle green 
Kind; they are fmall, but they devour immode- 
rately,
