CHAP. LXXIX. 



Of the ordering of Quinces and Figs in 

 Efpaliers. 



THE quince is alfo fometimes planted 

 in efpaliers, and requires the fame 

 management in regard to cutting as the 

 mulberry, but there is no occafion for its 

 horizontals to be more than a foot afun- 

 der, and it Ihould have two ftems, becaufe 

 it produces but (hort horizontals. 



Some forts of figs will do very well in 

 efpaliers, where the foil is dry. 



Their branches fhould be confined to 

 the frame, at the fame diftance from each 

 other, as directed for thofe planted againft 

 walls, and ftiould likewife be placed in the 

 fame pofition.
