Stocks 5 befides you can foarce pull up a great weed, unlefs 
you pluck up your young Stocks with it. Take notice, that 
if you have the ftones or kernels of any choice fruit, of 
which you defire to have fruit quickly, then take fome buds 
even of the fame years growth, if of a Peach orNe&arin,

Of the Seafon and Order of Planting out of young Stocks. 
A Fter your Stocks are of two years growth, or after the 
firft year, if they have thriven luftily, you may take 
up the forwardeftfor all of them if you pleafe: but ufoally a 
Bed of Stocks that’s fbwn indifferently thick, will yield a 
fupply of Stocks for three or four years drawing, if you 
firft take only the biggeft and raoft thriving, fuffering the 
reft to grow bigger. And now having prepared a piece of 
ground, which ought to be well dug, and enricht with good 
rotten dung or foil, then fort out your Stocks $ thofe that 
have good fpreading roots, cut the ends of every root pret¬ 
ty near, and the tops within foven or eight inches of the 
root, unlefs you defire to leave fome of the ftraiteft to run 
up to ingraft or inoculate, about ftandard or heading height, 
and then where you intend to plant them range a Line, and 
plant them in order feven or eight inches diftant one from 
another,alio wing three or four foot between every range of 
Stocks, or more, if you defire to fow any Herbage between, 
as Carrots, Onyons, &c. if not, three foot is wide enough. 
But as for thofe Stocks that run with a down-right, or a tap 
root, top them as the former, and cut a good deal off the 
down-right root, and then in a Bed prepared range your 
Line, and fet them in order, fome what thicker both in rank 
and file, with a ftick,fuch as we ufo to let Beans with, which 
is a quicker way than with your fpade j before you forget
