*nall bear tf much as ten in fome Orchards, and thus 

 continue removing, as your Trees grow big enough. 

 1 count five or fix tnches about to be a good Size, the 

 bigger they are, the more care muft be taken in their 

 removal, that the Root be tranfplanted entire as may 

 be., without much dif-branching it, or cutting away 

 the fpurs. And it is convenient, that in the heat 

 of the firft Summer, wen Straw be laid upon the 

 ground about the Root. 



If you have no pafture to tranfplant into, fell your 

 Trees to thofe that have, or fet your Standards of 

 ftrong Trees at twenty foot diftance, and fill up the 

 reft of the ground with Kenrifh Codlings ; Nurfe 

 Gardens, Burts, which are cheap Plants, being pro- 

 pagated by Suckers, or with dwarf Trees, made by 

 Circumpofition, which may be cut down when the 

 other Orchard thickens too much, and in the mean 

 time are very plentiful bearers. 



'Pruning Trees is ufed likewife chiefly to 

 this intent , that the Rays of the-Sun may have 

 paffage to all parts of the Tree, fo that 'tis a good 

 way for the Primer to look upward from the North 

 fide of the Tree, upon the South and Eaft, and to 

 cut off, or rather make thin, fuch boughs which he 

 findes fo thick as to obftruil: the Sun : All Boughs 

 likewife that gall others, and that are actually dead ; 

 providing always, that the Boughs taken off be as 

 little as may be, though the more in number, that 

 fo the fap may make up the Bark, and the Tree be 

 not decayed by lopping of the greater ftems : Which 

 is very perverfly done by moft Gardiners, who think 

 that to Prune a Tree, is to cut off the lower Boughs 

 bigger or lefs, becaufe they fee fmall watery Fruit 

 gro.vonthem; vvhejeasif the Sun was let in upon 



them*
