PREFACE. 



NUMEROUS are the Treatifes 

 written on the prefent fubject; 

 few of them, however, have fairly reful- 

 ted from Praftice, and therefore it is little 

 to be wondered, that they have been 

 found erroneous and deficient, and liable 

 to miflead in the moft effential particu-* 

 lars. 



The following iheets are intended to 

 exhibit the cultivation of fruit-trees on 

 an improved^ and, at the fame time, on 

 a concife plan, according to the true fuc- 

 cefsful practice of our moft eminent Gar- 

 deners, in raifing and forwarding every 

 fpecies of Wall-Trees, Efpaliers, and 

 Standards, to their full perfection of 

 bearing.
