fide-roots run horizontal, and then they 

 bear great quantities of fine fruit. 



CHESNUTS planted for fruit, mould be 

 treated in ths lame manner as walnuts ; 

 but they will thrive in worfe ground. 



MULBERRIES mould be planted on a dry 

 light earth, not too rich ; the ground all 

 round them for fix yards mould be covered 

 with grafs ; for if it is dug, they never 

 bear any quantity of fruit, and what they 

 do, will be very indifferent. 



FILBERTS will thrive, and bear great 

 quantities of fruit, if planted on a dry, 

 light gravelly foil, and the fruit will be 

 much fweeter, than the fruit of thofe 

 planted in rich or ftrong land. If the 

 walks in the kitchen-garden are of the 

 fame foil wilh the quarters, there is no 

 neceiiity for the borders to be very broad ; 

 but if they 'are lefs than ten feet, the walks 

 mould be prepared the fame as the borders, 

 before the gravel or fand is laid on, which 

 mould not exceed four inches.
