200 FRUIT GARDEN DISPLAYED'. 



fruit, as peaches neftarines, apricots, grapes, 

 figs, with fqme bed cherries, plum.;., and 

 pears; but of the firft five men::ioned forts, 

 they always require the afiillance of walls to 

 ripen the fruit in good perfefticn, as being 

 more tender than any of the other kinds, and 

 fhoald principally have foutherly walls full to 

 the Tun, otherwil'e the fruit will not ripea 

 with a good fl;ivour, and fome not ripen at 

 all without that aid : though fome forts of 

 apricots, as the BruiTels andiireda kinds, will, 

 ripen in low ftandards, and in Efpaliers, as 

 alfo fome forward kinds of grapes and figs 

 will ripen fruit in the efpalier order trained 

 to rtakes and rails, &c. and as to cherries, 

 plums, and pears, although all the forts will 

 ripen effectually in ftandards and efpaliers, as 

 hereafter explained ; yet, by allowing fome 

 of the choicer kinds the advantage of fouth 

 and other walls, we obtain the fruit earlier, 

 larger, and with an improved flavour. 



For wall trees having not only an advan- 

 tage of a warmer fituation, but by their 

 branches being trained thin, and in regular 

 order, four, five, or frx inches diftance ; they 

 always produce fruit in the greatell perfedlion 

 both in ilze, beauty, and good flavour. 



Wall trees confift of common or dwarf wall 

 trees trained with Ihort Hems fix or eight to 

 ten or twelve inches, that the branches may 

 come out low to cover the wall regularly from 

 bottom to top ; half ftandard wall trees with 

 Jtems Uiree or four feet high, the branches
