KINDS OF FIIUITS. 181 



4Llistances first, and then temporary plants between 

 them each way ; which temporary plants should be 

 of the free growing sorts, that begin to bear early, 

 sucli as the Nonsuch and ttawthorndean Apples, the 

 May-Duke Cherry, and the Crawford and Yair 

 Pears ; or any others better known to produce fruit 

 soon after planting. These should be considered, 

 and be treated as temporary plants from the begin- 

 ning, and must give phice to tlie principal trees as 

 they advance in growth, by being pruned away bit 

 and bit, and at last stubbed up entirely. 



If orchard trees be planted among shrubbry, &c. 

 as hinted at in Section III., they may be planted at 

 any distance, exceeding forty-feet, that may be 

 thought proper ; but they should not be planted 

 nearer, otherwise they will too much confine tlie 

 shrubs. In this case, it will not be necessary to 

 plant temporary trees, as the principals will be 

 nursed hy the shrubs. 



In bleak situations, if forest and other hardy trees 

 be planted among the fruit-trees, as also hinted at in 

 Section III., it may not be necessary to plant so 

 many (if any) temporary ll'u it-trees ; or these may 

 cliiefly consist of the liardier sorts, such as the 

 Hawthorndean Apple, the May-Duke and Morella 

 Cherries, and the Scotch Geans, which produce 

 iruit the soonest.
