Thefe three Sorts are cultivated 

 in moll: Nurferics near London, bu t 

 the Portugal kind is moft valu'd 

 for the Goodnefs of its Fru't. 



They are all ealily propagated, 

 either by Layers, Suckers, or Cut- 

 tings, which muft be planted in a 

 moifl: Soil. Thofe rais'd from 

 Suckers are feldom fo well rooted 

 as thofe which are obtained from 

 Cuttings or Layers, and are fub- 

 je6l to produce Suckers again in 

 greater Plenty, which is not fo 

 proper for Fruit-bearing Trees. 

 The Cuttings fhould be planted 

 early in the Spring, and in dry 

 Weather muft be often water'd to 

 encourage their Rooting: The fe- 

 ccnd Year after they fhould be 

 remov'd into a Nurlery at three 

 Feet Diftince Row from Row, 

 and one Foot afunder in the Rows, 

 where they muft be manag'd as 

 was direfted for Apples : In two ' 

 or three Years time thefe Trees 

 will be fit to tranfplant, where 

 they are to remain for good ; which 

 Should be either by the Side of a 

 Ditch, River, or in fome other 

 Hioift Place, where they will pro- 

 duce a greater Plenty and much 

 larger Fruit than in a dry Soil; 

 tho' thofe in the dry Soil will be 

 better tafted, and earlier ripe. Thefe 

 Trees require very little pruning 5 

 the chief Thing to be obferv'd, 'is.
