your lowertrees,that they may beas it were a fhelter or defence on the North & Eaft 
fide. Thus may youalfo plant Apples among Plums and Cherries , foas youfuffer 
not one to ouer-growe or Ouer-toppe another ; forby pruning, lopping, and fhred- 
ding thofethat growe too faft fortheir fellowes, you may ftillkeepe your trees in fuch 
aconformity,as may be both moft comely forthe fight; and moft profitable forthe 
yeclding of greater and better ftore of fruit. Other forts of fruit trees you may mixe 
among thefe, if you pleafe,as Filberds ; Cornellian Cherries in ftanderds , and Med- 
ters : but Seruice trees, Baye trees, and others of that high fort, muft be fetro.guard |
