SECTION III. 



On Planting^ and the Kinds left adapted to the Peach- 

 Houfe. 



MAIDEN, or one-year-traiaed trees/ 

 are to be preferred to any other. 

 Riders of the fame age fliould be planted 

 between the dwarfs ; except on the front 

 of the large houfe, where they would not 

 have time to do any good before their re- 

 moval would become neceflary. From 

 twelve to fifteen feet, according as the 

 length of the houfe will beft divide, is a 

 competent diftance between the dwarfs. 

 The feafon is, any time from the firft of 

 November to the firft of March. Fill in 

 the pits with light rich compoft, and fet- 

 tle the roots with a little water. 



The following is a lift of Peaches and 

 Nedarines ; out of which, thofe marked 

 thus * ought to be preferred. But even 

 this is difcretionary, and every one has 

 a right to indulge his own fancy, whether 

 in refped: to the choice or amplitude of 

 his collection.
