 each bushel worth five shillings, this will 

 amount to twenty-five pounds, and allowing 

 every future year the fruit of each tree to

 which by planting at that distance they would 

 have sufficient room to do, it would make the 

 produce of each tree worth fifteen shillings, 

 and the gross produce of the acre worth 

 seventy-five pounds per year independent of 

 the meadow. 



In this statement it must be allowed I have

 each tree at the age of twenty- seven years to 

 produce only three 'bushels, and each bushel at

 known Apples sold at eighteen pence and two 

 shillings per bushel, but those were not such
