tho' the ufual Method, is to bud 

 them to tne Height the Stems are 

 intended to be ; and the fecond Year, 

 after budding, they may be removed 

 to the Places where they are to re- 

 main. The beftSeafon for tranf- 

 planting thefc Trees (if for dry 

 Ground) is in Oclober, as foon as 

 the Leaves begin to decay ; but for 

 a wet Soil, February is much pre- 

 ferable ; and obferve always to bud 

 upon Plum-ftocks, for wet Ground ; 

 and Almonds or Peaches, for dry. 



The Almond with white Flowers 

 is a greater Curiofity than either of 

 the former ; and, being intermix'd 

 with the other Sorts, and a few of 

 the Cherry-plum- trees, which flower 

 all together, adds very much to the 

 •Beauty of thefe Plantations: this 

 Sort with" white Flowers is more 

 difficult to increafe than either of 

 the former, and will not take upon 

 a Pium-llock, but muft be either 

 budded on a Peach or Almond. 



The Sort with large Fruit pro- 

 duces almoft every Year large Quan- 

 tities with us in England, which, if 

 eaten before they are too dry, are 

 little inferior to thofe we receive 

 from abroad ; but if kept too long, 

 they are very apt to fhnvel up, ar.d 

 lofe their Plumpnefs ; but in other 

 refpecls are v ?ry good. 



The 'Jordan almonds, which are 

 annually brought to England, feem 

 to be the fame with the white- flower 

 ing, by fome Plants which I have 

 raifed from the Nuts, which retain 

 the fame Appearance in Leaf ar.d 

 Shoot, as thofe with white Flowers ; 

 but they have not as yet flowered 

 with me, altho' the Trees are grown 

 to a large Size. 



The bitter and fweet Almonds are 

 only Varieties, wh ; ch will come 

 from the fame Seeds ; but there is 

 a manifeft Difference between thefe 

 and the white-flowering Sort, both 



in Leaf and Shoot, fo as to be di- 

 ftinguifhed thereby at all Seafons; 

 yet by later Eotanilts they are made 

 but one Species. 



The white Sort, coming out ear- 

 lier in the Spring than the other, is 

 in greater Danger of fufFering from 

 the Froii in the Spring, whereby few 

 Fruit are ever feen upon the frees 

 in this Country. 



ANACAMPSEROS, Telephium, 

 or Rhoiia Radix ; in Englifh, Or- 

 pine, Live-ever, or Rofe -root. 



The Chambers are ; 

 It hath a perennial Root : the 

 Leaves, Stalks, Flowers, and Fruit, 

 are like thofe of the Houft-leek ; but 

 the Leaves of this Plant do not grozts 

 in a eirai:?ijcrihcd Qrdcr, as thfe of 

 the Houfe-ltek ; hut the Plant arifes 

 voith a Stalk, upon which the Leaves 

 arc placd on every Side : the Flowers 

 grovo in Umbels, upon the Tops of 

 the Stalks.
