tvill not do well in a full North aspect; but any 

 sort of plum (rather a late one) and summer pears> 

 and also nut trees will, if you choose to train them* 

 There should always be some currants and goose- 

 berries in an E. and N. situation, at the distance of 

 eight feet, where they will be easily matted, (when, 

 ripe) to come in late, as October, November, or 

 perhaps December. Pear trees of free growxh are 

 hardly to be kept within tolerable compass on low 

 walls ; but if attempted, should have at least thirty 

 feet allowed them. The best sorts of winter pears 

 deserve a southerly wall to ripen them well, and im- 

 prove them in size and flavour: The gable end of a 

 house is well adapted for a pear tree, as it affords 

 room which they require. Apples may do on a wall, 

 (and if any on a good wall, Jet it be the golden pip* 

 pin) yet the practice is seldom adopted : The same 

 may be said of mulberries, though they eome to 

 bearing much sooner against a wall ; but they need 

 not have a South aspect, indeed it has been asserted, 

 that they do the best in a North one. For furnish- 

 ing walls, chuse trees' of moderate wood, rather than 

 strong, young, well rooted, clean, and healthy. 



When implanting of a garden is finished, it will 

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

 names of every peculiar tree marked thereon, in their 

 place, to be assured of the sorts when they come ta 

 bear. Some have the names of the trees painted on 

 boards, and placed behind them, to which if added 

 the time of ripening (fixed late enough) it would 

 tend to prevent a premature plucking by visitors, c. 



Here it may be observed, that if any evergreen 

 hedges are desired, in or about the garden, yew, box, 

 alaternus, cdastnis, phillyrea, and pyracantlia, may 

 be kept low, and clipped in form, it so desired : in 

 addition to which, if a few roses were intermixed, it 

 would have a pivtty effect. A deciduous hedge for
