SECTION II. 



On tie Situation and Preparation of the Border. 



WHAT I have faid in Sedion II. 

 Chap. V. on the cultivation of the 

 grape, in regard to the fituation of the 

 border, equally applies here, both in re- 

 fpeft to the. good and the bad j a repeti- 

 tion of which is unneceflary. I will there- 

 fore pafs to the compofition, breadth and 

 depth. 



Three fourths ftrong brown loam, an 

 eighth light fandy loam, and an eighth 

 ftable-dung, with about a fortieth part of 

 {hell-marl, was the compofition of the 

 Peach borders at Wemyfs Caille ; all of 

 which were made completely three feet 

 deep. The breadth for the narrow houfe, 

 is fourteen feet from the back- wall ; and, 

 for the wide one, all the width of the 

 houfe within, and to the extent of twelve 

 feet without.
