So The Gardener's New Director. 



If then it is the fancy of the proprietor to have a wall, 

 it fhould be ten feet high, faced with bricks, upon v/hich 

 Cherries may be planted, viz. the ?Iertfordfliire Cherry, 

 Morellos, Holman's-duke, and Black-hearts ; and ma- 

 ny forts of Plums ; the Orgillon Pippen-apples, is'c No 

 fort fhould be intermixed with another, for the reafons 

 given in treating of plantins; trees upon the fouth and 

 fouth-welt afpeded walls ; but Currants may be planted 

 between each of them, except the Cherries. 



The borders upon the wall lliould be ten feet wide, 

 as well for the good of the fruit-trees, as to have fome 

 proper kitchen crops upon them. Here you may plant 

 fome of the Mafculine Apricots, which, the' they will 

 not come fo early, will by this expofure be firmer in the 

 pulp, than upon a fouth afpe£t : and here may be plant- 

 ed the Cuifie Madame Pears, which will fruit very well; 

 and a few red Nutmeg Peaches: to all which the fame 

 culture will ferve, which I mentioned, when treating of 

 them upon the other walls.

Dire^ions for planting an Orchard. 



SUCH as would chufe to have an orchard, may plant 

 the trees the whole length of the garden, on the 

 weft-fide, adding two hundred and fifty yards to its 

 breadth, to give the trees fufficient room, otherwife 

 they will not thrive. There may be a deep haha to 

 the weft, or fome walling to defend the trees from 

 thieves, when their fruits are ripe, the fame as is prefcribed 

 to defend the fouth part of the garden. Next the haha, 

 I would recommend the planting of fome quick growing 

 foreft-trees. Planes, Afti, or Firs, at a good diftance to 

 the weft of the orchard, and to the north, to protect the 

 fruit-trees from winds. Fruit-trees in an orchard fhould 

 be planted fifty or fixty feet from one another, and not 

 in rows, but fcattered elegantly up and down, to diver-
