funder in the main, 15, 17, or 19, for Dwarf 

 fruit, and 3$ Foot at leaft for Foreft-Trees 3 

 becaufe it is requir'd fo to be by the Large- 

 nefsof their Growth more than Foreft-Trees, 

 And by thisQiiincuncial Diftribution of them, 

 becaufe, even by this Means, tho' the Divi- 

 fions on this Figure are larger than the other, 

 yet does one hold near twenty Trees more 

 than the other, and alfo the Trees have all 

 neceffary Room ; which makes evident what 

 I have before afferted, that this Qiiincuncial 

 Way is the beft, in as much as it holds more 

 Trees than the fquare Way does. Yet it mull 

 be obferv'd, that when any Perfon goes to 

 fet oat one of thefe Quincuncial Plantations, 

 he will have Occafion to ufe double the Num- 

 ber of Stakes, that he does in the.Quadrate, 

 that fo he may range them in alternately, 

 and make a Figure of V, with three Trees, 

 quite thro' his Plantation, &c. 



After the whole is thus figured out on the 

 Paper, or actually planted on the Ground, 

 'tis then the Crofs- Walks, or let them be di- 

 red, or, indeed, any other, that the Figure 

 beft admits ^ but it muft be noted, that in 

 all dired: Walks, the middle Line of Trees, 

 or fometimes two or three Lines, muft be 

 left out, both to give the Walk its proper 

 Width, as alfo that the Trees on each Side 

 may be direftly oppofite, which they would 

 not otherwife be. But in all Diagonal Walks 

 the Quincuncial Method is beft, being by 

 the alternate Difpofition of the Trees both 



parallel
