294 A TREATISE OF 



Codlins, common, and Kentifli, are the 

 firfl: for the kitchen, and will bear upon 

 their own roots in efpaliers, or will make 

 ftandards if grafted upon crab-ftocks. 



The fumm.er Scarlet pearmain is a good 

 fmit for either table or kitchen ufe, and 

 will bear on ftandards. 



The golden pippin is good for many 

 ufes, and I think the fruit is much larger 

 and bettei* from a dwarf-tree than a ftand- 

 ard. I have heard gentlemen much re- 

 commend the fmalleft, and thought them 

 to be of a particular kind ; but I really 

 think there is but one kind, and the dif- 

 ference that appears in them is only owing 

 to the vigour of the trees or different foils 

 they grow in 3 for I always obferved that 

 if a tree grew in dry foil, and made but 

 little flioots, yet bore plentifully, then the 

 fruit was fmaller, and earlier ripe than 

 thofe that are larger; but if the large ones 

 come from trees that grow upon land not 

 too wet, then they are as well tafted when 

 npie as the fmall ones.
