KINDS OF FRUITS. 181 



distances first, and then temporary plants between 

 them each way ; which temporary plants should be 

 of the free growing sorts, that begin to bear early, 

 such as the Nonsuch and Hawthorndean Apples, the 

 May-Duke Cherry, and the Crawford and Yair 

 Pears ; or any others better known to produce fruit 

 soon after planting. These should be considered, and 

 be treated as temporary plants from the beginning, 

 and must give place to the principal trees as they 

 advance in growth, by being pruned away bit and 

 bit, and at last stubbed up entirely. 



If orchard trees be planted among shrubbry, &c. 

 'as hinted at in Section III., they may be planted at 

 any distance, exceeding forty feet, that may be 

 thought proper ; but they should not be planted 

 nearer, otherwise they will too much confine the 

 shrubs. In this case, it will not be necessary to 

 plant temporary trees, as the principals will be 

 nursed by the shrubs. 



In bleak situations, if forest and other hardy trees 

 be planted among the fruit-trees, as also hinted at in 

 Section III., it may not be necessary to plant so 

 many (if any) temporary fruit-trees ; or these may 

 chiefly consist of the hardier sorts, such as the Haw- 

 thorndean Apple, the May-Duke and Morella Cher- 

 ries, and the Scotch Geans, which produce fruit the 

 soonest.
