*>f free growth are hardly to be kept within tolerable 

 compafs- on l<nv walls ; but if attempted, mould have 

 at- 1 teaft thirty feet allowed them. The beft forts of 

 Pointer pears deferve ajoutherly wall to ripen them well, 

 ^and improve them iri fize and flavour : The gable end 

 *>f a houfe is well adapted for a pear tree, as it affords 

 'room whieh'they require, Apples may do on a Wall, 

 (and if any on a good wall, let it be the golden pippin) 

 yet thepracHce is feldom adopted : The fame may be 

 »faid of Mulberries, though they come to bearing much 

 fooner again ft a wall ; but they need not have a South 

 afpe&, indeed it has been aflertcd, that they do the beft 

 in a North one. For furn idling walls, chu'fe trees of 

 moderate wood, rather than ftrong, young, well rooted, 

 clean, and healthy. 



When the planting of a garden is finifhed, it will 

 be a good way to have a plan of it taken, with tire 

 names of every peculiar tree marked thereon, in their 

 place, to be allured of the forts when they come ; to 

 bear. Some have the names of the trees painted on 

 hoards, and placed behind them, to which it added the 

 time of ripening (fixed late enough) it would tend to 

 prevent a premature plucking by vifitors, &c. 



Here it may be obfeived, that if any evergreen hedges 

 are defired, in or about the garden, yew, box, aluternu'*, 

 telaftrus, phillyrea, and pyracantha, may be kept low, 

 and clipped in form, if fo defired: In addition to which, 

 if a few rojes were intermixed, it would have-a pretty 

 effect. A deciduous hedge for fubdivifion,or fcreen, Sec. 

 may be made of elms or limes, fetting the larger plants 

 at five feet afunder, and a fmaller one between. Or an 

 ordinary fence, or fubdivifion, mav be quickly formed 

 of elder cuttings, ftuck in at two feet afunder, which 

 may be kept cut within bounds. 



The walls come next under confideration, and they 

 are to be begun from the bejlwetll; the border of which 

 being regularly levelled and fettled, the walk is to be 

 governed by it. A wide border next the South (as was
