cured from the Injuries of Cattle, Winds, de. 
THE Diftance of Fruit-Trees from one another, is a very material 
Point to be confider’d in Planting ; for if we plant too near, we foon 
exhanft our Soil, and deftroy our Trees, for want of Air for Perfpi- 
ration ; and if we plant too thin, we fuffer a Lofs by having lefs than 
we eS se but of the two Evils the laft is the beft. 
PEAR-Trees require much Room to extend themfelves, and fome 
Kinds more than others, as the Summer Bon-cretien, and many other 
Kinds, which when I come to their Defcription I fhall take Notice of ; 
but in general we may affign 30.Feet for their Diftance. And if between 
every two Trees we plant two others of different Kinds, as a Plumb 
and a Cherry, or a Peach and an Apricot, to be cut away as the Growth 
of the Pears require, we fhall have no Lofs in the Walling, during the 
Time of theit Growth. 
<p: 
WHEN we eae entire Walls of Peaches, Cherries, Plumbs, and 
Apricots, they may be placed at twelve, fourteen, or fixteen Feet 
Diftance, except the early {mall May Cherry, which need not be more 
than eight or ten Feet apes 3 : 
STANDARDS planted in the open Air, fhould be 30 Feet apart 
at the leaft, but 35 is much better, and if you plant Dwarf-Trees between 
them, 40 Feet is full near. Thefe Diftances may appear to fome People 
very large, but when they confider the Neceffity of a free circulating Air 
for Perfpiration, and the Benefits of an under Crop, they will find the 
Advantages thereof. 
N. B. LF the Roots of Trees ave very dry afier taking up, foak theig 
Roots for an Hour or two, im a Pound of Water, &c. but pe 
no more than their Roots, that their Heads may site attradt

IF your Trees, after taking up, are to te a any Di ifance, be fure
