i his Coliedion of Fruits will very well 

 ferve for your belt Fruit-Garden^ and before 

 I come to their Planting, it may not be amifs 

 to obferve, that Peaches and Vmes thrive beft 

 in dry light Ground 5 that Plums,Cherries,€^r. 

 delight in a ftrong Earth; and Figs, Pears, 

 Apples, &c. agree with all Sorts of Soils, pro- 

 vided the Ground be near three Foot deep. 

 TheSeafon of Planting is from the Middle 

 of October to the Middle of March, but it is 

 not to be undertaken in frofty Weather, And 

 the Autumn is preferable to the Spring, by 

 reafon the Tree, during the Winter, will be 

 better fix d and fettled, fo as to withftand the 

 Winds in Mdrch^ and Drought of the Spring. 

 For the Diftance to be obferv'd in planting of 

 Fruit-Trees, a V/all of feven or eight Foot 

 high, will require the Trees to be planted 

 about fifteen or fixteen Foot afunder : And if 

 the Wall be ten Foot high, twelve Foot Space 

 will be enough ^ but the Apricot, Plum, and 

 Cherry, ought to be' planted at a greater Di- 

 ftance than a Peach or Nedarine.
