THE CULTURE OF TREES. 



Though there are many good fruit-trees 

 Here, I could not obferve that the Chinefe did 

 much regard their culture. They had plant- 

 ed feveral trees, and among thofe likewife 

 iruit-trees, about their gardens and terraces ; 

 and likewife had made great orchards, which 

 they looked upon as very magnificent; for 

 which reafon, they were generally planted 

 before the pagodas and places of diverfion. 

 But few of the fruit-trees, or other trees, 

 are known to us.
