The PREFACE: 
BESIDES, from Plantations of this Kind, there always arife great 
Profits, (exclufive of the aforefaid Pleafures) as for Inftance, Apples 
and Pears produce good Cyder and Perry ; Goofeberries and Currants 
good Wine ; Cherries and Rasbervies fine Mixtures in Brandy, &c. 
befides the many Services in the Kitchen for Tarts, &c. all which are 
very ferviceable and advantageous to a Family, and therefore is moft 
humbly recommended to the Confideration of the Fudicious. 
ASTI have thus advifed the Planting of fuch Fruits which ripen 
very well in the open Air ; namely, Cherries, Plumbs, Pears, Apples, 
Strawberries, Rasberries, Goofeberries, Currants, doc. I (hall now pro- 
cced to fily fomething relating to the moft defired Fruits, namely, thofe

THE moft valuable Wall-Fruits in England, ave Cherries, Plumbs, 
Apricots, Peaches, Grapes, Figs, and Pears, of which we have a very 
great Variety, that ave truly good, when well order’d, in kind Seafous 5 
But, to the great Misfortune of moft of our Nobility and Gentry, ’tis 
very feldom that they have any that are truly good, when Seafons are 
kind, notwithftanding the very: great Expences they are at, except by an 
Accident, when Nature berfelf has atted the Part of a judicious Gar- 
dener ; and the Reafons thereof wholly unknown to the Gardener under

IT is as impoffible that Fruits can be mature and vipen’ Ait these 
greateft Perfettion, when their Fuices are full of Crudities, that Be 
confind in them for want of a free Perfpiration, as it is for Nature 
equally to fupport ten Dozen of Peaches, &c. with the fame Nourifh- 
ment as when there is but a Dozen and balf, or two Dozen at moft : 
But this is not the dirett Fault of Gardeners, for as there’s no = 
them now im England, (the ingenious Mr. Miller of the Phyfick Garden 
at Chelfea excepted) that knows (or ever thought) of Crudities being 
comtain.d in the Juices of Fruits, which, when confin'd, caufe = 
Taftes to-be watery and infipid ; or that fiuch Crudities are difcharged by 
Perfpiration, (very few of whom know the Meaning of the Word) they 
ave not to be blamed for what they never knew, and thevefore ’tis no wonder 
that bad Fruits have been annually produced in great Quantities, even
