-ftanding-place, where they muft 
be continued all the Summer. 
To which end we muft pre- 
pare in the Garden a Conveniency 
to the South, or South Eaft, and 
if it be poffible, right before the 
winter Place, or green Houle, 
and in cafe the Sun be very hot, as : 
fometimes it is in May, make 
choice of a Place which hath a lit- 
tle Skreen of fhady T'rees before 
it; for generally about that time 
the Trees be a little Sickith; 
which if they are, they will not 
endure the full heat of the Sun, 
by which fometimes feveral Plants 
have been loft; for this there 
-muft remain a Space of 25, 30, 
or more Feet wide, according to 
_ the Meafure or Largenefs of the 
Ground or Garden. 
It will be-very Ufeful thar this 
Place be fenced about fourfquare, 
with an Elder Hedg, or other 
Fruit 
_ Or Netherlandifh Hefperides, 
fhut out; that no Diftemper, or 
lofs of Leaves, to the great Pre- 
judice of the Growth, may be 
caufed; for without fuch a fic 
ftanding Place, we fhall in vain 
expect to raife and to bring thefe 
Trees and their Fruit to Per- 
fection. 3 act 
We find by many unskilful 
Practitioners and Managers in this 
affair of Husbandry , who take 
no care for the ftanding Place, 
that they commonly are furnifhed 
with pining and unchrifty Trees ; 
Wherefore then the Warmth and 
keeping of the Wind from them 
is highly neceflary, as alfo the 
_ Choice of the faid Situation, which 
is obferved even in Italy, and mutt 
therefore much more in thefe our 
Countries, 
If it be poffible, and the Con- Ferrar:

Fruit-Trees twifted together, and 
raifed high, to prevent andtake 
away all accefs of the Wind: In 
this manner may an open airy 
Shelter or warm place be made, 
which is very acceptable to thele 
| tender Strangers, there to receive

the Beams of the Sun, which 
comes to recreate thefe Hejperial 
Virgins between the fruitful Fen- 
ces, and caufe one with an o+

Summer Placing mult be taken, if 
it be poffible, to che South-Eatt ; 
and aboveall, reject all the Weft, 
South-Weft, and all the Parts of 
the North, becaufe many great 
Storms, filthy Vapours, and hurt- 
ful Winds do frequently proceed 
thence ;~ which even our own 
country Fruit cannot endure,much 
lefS thefe; and therefore muft 
they; as much as is poffible, be 
bit ‘ fhut

“fhall find that thefe fweet Perle-— 
Hills fhall not only fill the Eyes 
of their Mafter with a glorious 
‘Sight in the time of Blowing, but 
alfo replenifh and fill his Parlour 
with a moft fragrant and pleafant 
Smell through the opened Win-
