fix or eight inches from the bottom ; and when 

 they advance in flioots and branches, train 

 the trees for the different purpofes intended, 

 for ftandards, walls and efpaliers ; the lland- 

 ards permitted to branch out above, regularly 

 all round ; and in the wall and efpalier trees 

 have the branches trained in a fanned expan- 

 fion to the right and left. 



When the trees, from grafting or budding, 

 have foimed heads from two or three, to five 

 or fix years growth, they are proper for tranf- 

 planting where they are to continue. 



They will all fucceed in any common good 

 ground, not immoderately wet in Winter, &c. 

 If a moderate loam, the better. 



The feafon fjr planting them, is any time, 

 in open weather, from the fall of the leaf in 

 October or November, till the end of March, 

 or beginning of April. 



The full ftandards plant in gardens and 

 orchards, twenty-five or thirty, to forty feet 

 diflance : the heads permitted to branch out 

 freely on every fide, and above, not fhorten- 

 ing the branches; and give only occafional 

 pruning fometimes in Winter, to cut out any 

 ill-placed, crofs-growing, and crouded branches, 

 and dead wood. 



The wall and efpalier pears plant fifteen to 

 eighteen or twenty feet Jiftance ; though pear«* 

 grafted on free or flrong growing ilocks, often 

 extend thirty feet or more. Train the branches 

 to the Wall and efpalier horizontally, in regu- 

 lar order, four to five or fix inches diHance, 

 all extended at their full length, and never 



fhortened.
