give a general summer crop. Where ripe fruit is required 

 earlier or later, the different pottings, &c. must be varied ac- 

 cordingly, and be done earlier or later, as the fruit may be 

 required to come in for use at an earlier or later season. 



The compost mould to be used at all the pottings should 

 be strong surface loam and half rotten hog dung, of each 

 equal quantities, kept as rough as possible, in which state 

 it should be applied on all occasions. The mixture should 

 never be used when more than twelvemonths old. 



It may be here observed that no Pine plant should be 

 checked in its progress, for the consequence of checking is 

 always a premature and weak production of fruit.

your very obedient Servant,
