In order to obtain Fruit, the Trees 

 mould be placed in a warm Situa- 

 tion ; and where the Ground is not 

 naturally moift, there fhould be a 

 Quantity of good Loam and rot-

The Sort with double Flowers is 

 a Variety which has been acciden- 

 tally produced from Seed : the Fruit 

 of this I have not yet feen, having 

 only obferved this Variety in fame 

 fmall Plants : but I have been in- 

 formed of a large Tree of this Sort, 

 which has produced Fruit. As the 

 Flowers of this Sort are not very 

 double, they may be fucceeded by 

 Fruit ; or, at leaft, there may be 

 many fmgle Flowers on the fame 

 Tree, which may produce the Fruit. 



The very beft Seafon for trans- 

 planting the Arbutus is in September, 

 at which time the Bloflbms are be- 

 ginning to appear^ and at that Sea- 

 fon, if they are kept moift, they will 

 take Root very foon ; but toward the 

 Beginning of November, their Roots 

 fhould be well covered with Mulch, 

 to keep out the Froft.
