W HEN fudden Heat comes on Ffuits, it fhtinks their Sap-Veflels, 
and confequently they cannot imbibe and receive {o great a Quantity of 
Nourifhment. This is the Cafe of dire Weft Walls ;.and ‘tis therefore 
that their Fruits are leffer in Magnitude than thofe of the South and 
South-Eaft, which receive their Heat by Degrees, 
“TIS obfervable that in England the hotteft Part of the Day in the 
Summer Seafon, is about two or three in the Afternoon, when the Heat 
is oftentimes fo “very great, as to exhale away more Moifture than is 
neceflary ; and confequently at all fuch Times the Goodnels of Fruits 
is greatly diminifh’d ; therefore when we have it in our Power to 
make our own Choice, we fhould chule fuch an Alpe, whofe Situation 
is fuch, that at that very hor Part of the Day, it fhould be difcharged 
of that violent Heat. ; 
NOW feeing that the hor Part of the Day generally happens when 
the Sun is nearly South-Weft, it therefore follows, that at that timea 
South-Eaft Wall, declining 20 Degrees, is nearly fhaded ; for as the 
Rays are then very oblique, they have not fo great a Power on the 
a more than ordinary Quantity of 
Sap-Veflels, as to exhauft away 
about 20 Degrees, 1s thé very beft of alle

THIS being judicionfly confider’d, ’tis very eafy to account for the 
Reafons of a South-Eaft being better than a dire South Afpect : For 
when the South-Eaft Afpeét is difcharged from the extreme Heat of the 
Day, the direct South Afpeé is ftill expofed to it, whereby its Fruits are 
oftentimes injur'd, by having their Sap-Veflels dried by the extraordinary 
Heat thereof. 
NORTH Afpeéts, in warm Summers, will produce good Plumbs, 
and Duke Cherries, when thofe of the Eaft, South, and Weft Walls are 
gone, and Morello Cherries alfo.

Apricots 5 and, if I may be allow’d to {peak my Opinion, much better | 
than a South Wall, (tho’ not fo early) becaufe that the extraordinary
