Motion. 
Continue the Care of weeding and watering the 
young Exotic Trees, particularly thofe of the re-' 
finous: Kinds, which were planted out of their 
Seed-Beds the Month before. Thefe will require 
a due Care, but with that there is no Hazard. ° 
They mutt be fhaded at Noon, and watered light- 
ly once in two Days; and the Mould mutt fre- 
quently be broke between them, to, prevent ‘Weeds, 
_and to make it fit for abforbing the Dews. 
This and the fucceeding Week, -let. the..Gar- 
dener tranfplant Evergreens ; and ‘it will “be pro-

and before it-dries on, or moulders away, the reft

The Mould muft be thrown in with a fwift but 
careful Hand; and when it is all in, and well 
clofed about the Roots, there mutt be a large | 
Watering: but this, though large in Quantity, 
mutt be given with Moderation ; for the Intent is, 
that it work itfelf flowly down between and

‘the Gardener’s beft Care mutt be employed

the Principles of his Art by this Time well 
enough to know how this is to be done. 
We have direGted that no Plantation whatfoever

The Bufinefs now is to fwell the F ruit: too 
the want of Rains, which are unfrequent at this 
. Seafon; and, as I have found by repeated Expe- 
rience, and fair Comparifon, it will have all the 
Advantage of {welling the Fruit, and at the fame 
Time will improve its Flavour. 
What I have found by Tryal, and by the Com- 
parifon of Fruit from watered and unwatered 
Trees at this Seafon, I may fafely proceed to ex- 
plain. | 
The Flavour of Fruits, though determined by 
the Veflels of the Tree, yet is originally elaborated 
from the Particles which the Root receives from 
hon 
ea 
intended Quantity of Water at four or five Times, 
with moderate Intervals. _ 
This mutt be repeated ‘every other Evening ; 5

to their penetrating the Fibres, *or being receiv’d 
by them ; ‘dnd when this is not done, when Na-

“In all the Operations Of Nature there is under- 
flood and required a certain Degree of Moderation, 
beyond or beneath which is etaally hurtful. This 
Miracles conftantly accomplifh. The Art of the 
Gardener”'is to fupply the Defects: to fupply 
them’ it’ is néceffary that he firft fee them; and 
then that he make this Moderation his Rule: of 
Process 
If he will watch and keep foubiiati of his Fruit- 
| Trees for feveral fucceeding Years, he will find that — 
much Water would at the fame Time impoverifh — 
it,-and-debafe the Flavour: a little only fupplies » 
in very wet Summers the Fruits are always {welled 
and ill-Aavoured; that in very dry Times they 
want both their natural Size and Relifh; and that 
it is only in thofe Summers which are refrefhed 
by moderate Rains, that they are perfect. He 
will by this learn eafily a proper Conduét. 
In very wet Summers it will be in his Power to 
ferve the Fruit-Trees greatly, by drawing a Mat 
from the Top of the Wall to the Catandy at fome 
Diftance, and thus defending them againtt the 
worft Showers: and this will be only for the 
Summer is a Seafon when his Mats and Canvas 
are out of Ufe. In dry Summers he will be able 
to do much more by this : He may allow Water in
