A CGCOMPLEAT BODY, &. 
The Trees being thus defended before, are to 
be forced to Bldtent and fruit at an early Seafon, 
by the Heat of Dung behind. The firft Time 
of applying this muft be the third Week in No- 
vember ; and from that Period to their ripening, 
the Heat muft be kept up fucceffively by frefh 
Quantities of Dung. 
The common Piette Dung, with the Litter 
among it, is to be ufed for this Purpofe ; and the 
Preparation it requires is only to be thrown up in 
may be equal in every Part. 
When it is thus ready, and the Frame is_ in 
order, let the Gardener draw a Line along the 
Ground. behind the Wall; that is, on its North 
Dung is to extend as far as this, from the Wall 
at the Bottom, and is to be carry’d up gradually © 
floping to the Top; but it is to be there eight 
and twenty Inches thick. 
About five Weeks after this let a frefh Parcel 
of Dung be got ready, laying it in a Heap. as 
the firft; and when it has lain the due Time to 
heat equally, let the old Dung be removed from 
the Wall, and this put in its Place, piling it up 
a Heap for five Days before, that the F ermentation | as the other, juft to the Top of the Wall, for the 
Nature of it is to fhrink down. This is to be 
repeated when there is Occdfion, arid this is all 
that is required in the general Conftruction of the 
Frame.

OF the Kinds il Management of, the TREES. 
HE Fruits proper for forcing are the early 
Cherries, Apricots, Peaches, and Necta- 
rines. Others may be planted for this Service, 
but thefe are the propereft and moft valuable. 
Goofeberries and Currants have been recommend- 
ed, but one {miles at the Thought of beftowing 
this Attention and Expence upon fuch indifferent | 
Fruit: it has alfo been advifed to plant Straw- 
berries upon the Borders. The other Thought was 
only ridiculous, but this is hurtful: the Gardener 
muft be caution’d againft it. | | 
Nor need we add after this, that the planting 
Rofes and Tulips is a moft falfe Practice. This 
robs the Trees of that Nourifhment they very 
much want; and the Damage thefe flight Things 
do the Fruit, is much more than their own Value. 
It is the Error of little Minds to do many Things 
together, not regarding that none can be done 
well in that Manner. 
_ We have directed a Method of forcing of 
Strawberries in Frames; and the Flowers fome 
direct to be raifed on thefe Borders, will fucceed 
much better in their proper Beds. . 
As thefe are defign’d for the early ripening of 
Fruit, let them be devoted only to that Purpofe ; 
and the Trees being manag’d well, and allowed 
this Refpite, will thrive perfectly. The Cherries 
will be ripe in 4pri/, and the other Fruits at a 
proportion’d Seafon. 
The Trees fhould be planted at ten Foot Di- 
ftance. This Quantity of the Wall they will 
very well cover; and if they were fet at greater 
Diftances, it would only increafe the Expence, by 
enlarging the Quantity of Glafs-work without 
any proportion’d Advantage, 
When the Weather is mild, a little Air muft 
be admitted, by opening the Door oppofite to the 
Quarter whence the Wind blows; and before the 
Buds appear, gentle Showers fhould be admitted 
as well as Air; but when the Seafons grow {fe- 
vere, and the Buds are fet, all muft be kept clofe; 
the Heat of the Dung muft be often examin’d, 
and well regulated, ae the Gardener mutt go in 
at that Door which is leaft likely to admit the 
cold Wind. : 
When the Weather is mild, it will be advife- 
able to open both Doors, and give the Air a 
free Circulation. The Time of the Day for this 
is about Noon, and the Opportunity muft be 
taken when there is little or no Wind. 
This is all that can be allow’d during the Se- 
verity of Winter; but in Spring the fame Method 
mutt be iio as in the Beginning of the Sea- 
fon. In mild Days the Glaffes muft be a little © 
open’d to admit the Air and Showers. 
The Fruit will all be fet by this Time, and 
confequently the Danger will be over which would 
have attended opening the Glaffes, when the Trees 
were in bloffom; for it is conftantly found, that 
any Wet upon Trees in bloom, in thefe F rames, 
is deftructive, 
The later Fruit ripens, the more Pains are re- 
quired to bring it to that Perfection; fome have 
found three Times changing the Dung to be fuf- 
ficient for Cherries; four I have generally feen 
fucceed better; and for the Peaches there will be 
required Moat fix. The beft Time of Pruning 
is the Beginning of Oéober, and all the Branches 
muft be nailed clofe to the Walls.
