 which is the general practice 5 for if they 

 are promifcuoufly planted, it will be dif-.

 that cafe there muft. be a change in the 

 preparation every five or fix yards. 



IN fmall gardens, where there is only 

 room for a few trees, perhaps one or two of 

 a kind, it will be eafy to prepare the bor- 

 ders at firft ; but difficult to keep fo many 

 parcels of compoft for recruiting them : 

 when that happens, to prevent trouble^ 

 all the borders may be made of two forts, 

 viz. for peaches and cherries (as will be 

 directed under that head) which will an-
