•thrive abundantly : And thofe chat think te'aniend 

 the nutter by digging a hole a yard deep, or more, 

 -and purring in the Tree with a little 'good earth, do 

 but cheat themfeives } for the Tree would thrive as 

 well upon a Stone Wall, that is waited with rain 

 Water, as in that hole, \* hen once the Root is come 

 to the fides thereof : This I ipeak generally and not 

 •of fuch particular Trees as delighcin a lingular Mi- 

 weraof Earth. 



And for Orchards, it is a ve*y neceffary requihte, 

 that the Roots of Fruit-trees AmA above the Gra- 

 vel, Clay, or Rock, if any fuch be, proviiion for 

 -which I have known made two ways, the uiual anil 

 <rnoM common is, to plant with fuch Standards which 

 have no down-right Roots, which may be gotten 

 in any well ordered Nurferies, for in fuch, the 

 .'Seedling Plants are taken up the fecond year, and 

 the down-right Roots being cut off ihort , they 

 are let in beds for- grafting, and by this means fhoot 

 their Root rather "in compafs, then directly down- 

 VvSrcte. The fecond way is a more unufuai expen- 

 ment (y!z*) To fet the Fruit-Tree on the topof the 

 ground, without anyholedig ; 'd,cC to lay a load of &ch 

 dirt as is found in ftreets to the root, upon the Turf ; 

 yet fo, that the rain may abide, and no: by reafon of 

 the banck,run from the root of the new fet fruit-tree. 

 n For Wall-Trees, it is convenient the Roots be fet 

 at fuch diitance from the foundation of the Walls, 

 that they may hav^room in the Earrh fo: their roots; 

 a foot is a convenient fpace generally, for then. the 

 heulswill without difficulty be drawn to the Wail, 

 S?d the ^oots not be prejudiced.
