ON VINES. 213 



S93J1 are made too deep ; two feet is quite 

 lufficient ; the breadth ten feet at lead. 

 When borders are made deep it encourages 

 the roots downwards, where neither fun 

 nor air can have any influence, and of co,n- 

 fequence the fruit is not fo well flavoured. 

 If they are properly prepared there is no 

 danger from drought, which is the only 

 thing that can hurt (hallow borders. 



IN making of all kitchen-gardens it is 

 a common practice to fet out the borders 

 and walks ; then to empty the walks of all 

 good earth, and to fill them up with all 

 the rubbifli and ftones that are found in 

 making the garden. 



THE roots of moft trees run much fur- 

 ther than is generally imagined, especially 

 vines ; and when they meet with that bad 

 fluff it cankers them, and infects the whole 

 tree. This is a good reafon why efpa- 

 liers, and other fruit-trees planted round 

 Jdtchen-gardens, fo often decay ; for the 

 Q 3 border^
