 ample rules are laid down in the fection, On pruning: 

 fo that nothing need be faid of their cultivation here, 

 making proper references. 



Apples, as the moll ufeful fruit, it will be properto 

 provide as many trees ot as there may be found due

 ards, is often badly performed, damaging the branches, 

 and breaking the fpurs off ; let this bufmefs, therefore, 

 be properly attended to, particularly in young trees ot 

 good forts. Do not Dinch, or bruife, fruit in gather- 

 ing, for even the hardy apple may fuffer. 



As to the keeping of apples, thofe which continue 

 long for ufe fhould be fuffered to hang late, even to 

 November, if the froft will permit, for they muft be
