224 Laying out and Planting of Fruit-Gardens. 



as 1809, I had a considerable quantity of border made of a yel- 

 low loam for peach trees, for W. S. Poyntz, Esq., of Cowdray 

 Lodge, Sussex. I think it was rather light, but it was the best 

 to be had. In general it has been, not the want of a knowledge 

 of the fittest soil for the peach tree, but the want of knowledge 

 of the after-management, that has caused it frequently to make 

 such a pitiful figure. 



The whole of these remarks relate to the nectarine tree equally 

 with the peach tree. James Hart.
