38 OF THE FORMATION SECT. III. 



Currants, gocje berries and rafpberries, do well efpa- 

 liered, as to a production of early and fine fruit. 



Trees of a more humble nature, and fhrubs, next 

 occupy attention in furnifhinga garden. Cu rrants and 

 goofeberries (as buihes) mould be planted three feet 

 from the edge, and full fix feet afunder. Some of 

 thefe very ufeful fhrubs mould grow in every afpecl of 

 the garden, in order to have a fucceflion of their fruits, 

 as long as may be. Thofe who choofe to plant whole 

 quarters of currants and goofeberries, ought to do it at 

 fix feet afunder in the rows, and the rows eight feet 

 from one another. 



Rafpberries may be fet in plantations, in rows five 

 feet afunder allowing three teet between the plants. 

 Though thefe fhrubs are beft by themfelves, yet here 

 and there by the walks a detached bunch may be kept, 

 or here and there one againft a warm wall. Between 

 rows of rafpberries planted at the above diflance, 

 coIewcrtSj early cabbages, caulif Givers, and lettuces may 

 be fet, oxjpinuch fowed in drills, the rafpberries having 

 had their pruning and drefling early in Autumn, for 

 the purpofe. Every year a little fhort manure, dug in 

 clofe about the roots, (and deeper as the plantation gets 

 older) will infure fine fruit. Rafpberries are not very 

 nice as to foil and fituation ; but the twice bearing fort 

 mould have a dry foil and warm birth to forward the 

 crops, that the iafi may be in time: See that the plants 

 to be fet have good brulhy roots, and two or three eyes 

 to each root near the ffems, for the next year's bearing. 

 The fmooth wooded, or cane rafp, is to be preferred 

 for a principal crop.. 



Strait .rries may be planted at the edges of borders 

 ana quar _rs, either in (ingle or double rows, (rather 

 the latter) tor the convenience of gathering, and for 

 oynamentj but the common and belt way is, in tour 

 feet beds, with ei btee I inch or two feet alleys, on 

 which beds may be five rows of the zvood and Alpine, 

 four of the JcarUt and pine-apple % three of the Ca- 

 rolina,
