they are very free fiiooters, and multiply faft, as they 

 fend from their roots many fuckers, every one of vhich 

 has two or three fruiting-branches, which would exclude 

 the fun and air from ripening their fruits : wherefore^ 

 plant them three feet, row from row, and three feet^ 

 plant from plant ; and at the end of September be fiire to 

 top their longeli young branches, for if it is done later, 

 the froft will injure the wound. The old bearing- wood of 

 the year preceding is to be cut down. Once every two 

 years, dig the ground between the rows, and give them 

 fome of the oldefl: rotted dung you have; by which ma- 

 nagement their roots being kept free from too many fuc- 

 kers, the old wood cut clear out, and the young fhoots 

 topt to two feet above ground, you cannot fail to have 

 good crops ot truit every year. It is proper however to 

 make new plantations of them once every fourth year. 

 They love a fliaded, rather than a funny expofure, (but 

 fiiould not be planted under the drip of trees) for this 

 reafon I would choofe to plant them in a fpot of the gar- 

 den which has a north-afpe(£l:.

THOSE who do not choofe to have any wall upon 

 the fouth of their kitchen-gardens, may plant 

 clumps of exotic trees, which will ftand abroad, and 

 endure our fevere winters, (of which the trees below are 

 a catalogue) mixed with rofes ; and thofe clumps may 

 feem to be the determinations of walks from the fields, be- 

 yond the haha. The exotics for fuch clumps are thefe, viz.
