The feveral Sorts of Apples are 

 planted, either as Standards, in Or- 

 chards or Gardens, or Dwarfs, or in 

 Eipaliers, and fomctimes againft 

 Wails : Thofe that are dcfign'd for 

 Standards, fliould be grafted on Crab- 

 ftocks, which are much hardier, 

 and ot longer Duration than any other 

 Sort of Apple j but thofe that are 

 delign'd for Dwarfs or Efpaliers, 

 may be grafted either on the Paradife- 

 ftock, Codling, or any other Sort of 

 Apple-ftoc k, that doth not (hoot too 

 freely. The Manner of Grafting 

 will be defcrib'd under its proper Ar- 

 ticle j and the Manner ot raifing and 

 managing the Stocks will be ex- 

 plain'd in the Article o^Nurferies, to 

 which I refer the Reader, and pro- 

 ceed to the Manner of planting them 

 out for good. 



If you intend to make a new Or- 

 chard, the Soil (hould be plough'd ; 

 if a Green-fward, at leaft twice be- 

 fore planting, that the Earth may be 

 mellow'd, and imbibe the nitrous 

 Particles of the Air, and that the 

 Turf may be well rotted, and mix'd 

 with the Earth ;.hux, if it hath been

plough'd Ground, one good plough- 

 ing will be fufficient. 



The beft Seafon for planting thefe 

 Trees, iftheSoilisdry, is'mOcfo6er^ 

 as ibon as the Leaves begin to decay; 

 but in a wet Soil it is beft to defer it 

 'till Felruary. 



The Diftance thefe Trees ought to 

 be planted, is at leaft forty Feet 

 fquare, that the Sun and Air may 

 freely pafs to every Part of the Tree, 

 to dillipate all crude and unhealthy 

 Vapours, which are either exhal'd 

 from the Earth, or produc'd from 

 the Perfpiration of the Trees, and 

 are many times the Caufe of Blights, 

 or are at leaft abforb'd again by the 

 Trees, when in a State of Refpira- 

 tion, and muft occalion the Fruit to 

 be crude and ill-tafted, which is too 

 often attributed to the Soil, when 

 the only Caufe of it may be their 

 being too clofcly planted. This 

 Diftance many People will perhaps 

 think too much ; but I dare fay, it 

 would be ftill better, could they be 

 allow'd eighty Feet Diftance Row 

 from Row, and forty Feet in the 

 Rows } nor would I ad vife the Plant- 

 ing of Cherries, or any other Sort of 

 Fruit-trees between them, 'till they 

 arc arriv'd to an Age of Maturity ; 

 but rather, that the Ground between 

 them ftiould be plough'd, and till'd 

 with Corn, or any other Crop, as if 

 it were intirely open } and it hath 

 been experienced by feveral People in 

 Hereford/hire, and other Counties in 

 England, that their Crops have been 

 exceeding good, and their Trees 

 much improv'd by the turning of the 

 Soil J for Want of which Culture, 

 together with their clofe ftanding, 

 we find vaft Numbers of Orchards, 

 that have fcarcely a healthy Tree in 

 them, the greatelt Part of them 

 being either canker'd, or cover'd 

 over with Mofs ; and how can we 

 fuppofe to eat kindly Fruit from 

 F diftemper'd
