in two or three years with dung, or other manure, 

 which will alfo be abfolutely neceffary for the crops

 to help their Orchards, where thcexpence of manure 

 is pretty great, yet, as there is a crop expefted from 

 the ground befides the fruit, they will the more rea- 

 dily be at the charge upon that account. 

 In making clioice of trees for an Orchard, you (hould 

 always obferve to procure them from a foil nearly 

 akin to that where they are to be planted, or rather 

 poorer ; for if you have them from a very rich foil, 

 and that wherein you plant them is but indifferent, 

 they will not thrive well, efpecially for four or five 

 years after planting v fo that it is a very wrong prafticc 

 to make the nurfery where young trees are raifed 

 very rich, when the trees are defigned for a middling 

 or poor foil. The trees fhould be alfo young and 

 thriving, for. whatever fome perfons may advife to 

 the contrary', yet it has always been obfervcd, that 

 though large trees may grow and produce fruit after 

 being removed, tjiey never make fo good trees, nor 

 are fo long lived, as thofe which are planted while 

 young. 



Thefe trees, after they are planted out, will require 

 no other pruning, but only tb cut out dead branches,
