JUNE.—In this month the gardener begins to find fome 
repofe from his labour. The ground is now fully cropped, 
as to principals; and the chief bufinel’s is to fee that the 
various plants, according to their different ages of growth, 
do not droop for want of the neceflary afliftance of cul¬ 
ture, or good management. Particularly attend to trained 
trees, to regulate them before they get into dil'order, which
