New Principles of Gardening. 
The beft Pears for E/paliers and Dwarfs, are the Citron, 
a’ Camus, Primit, Sugar Mufcat, Fargonel, St. Magdalen, 
Quire-Song a in, Vermillion, Mouille Bouche, Goofeberry 
Pear, Green Chizel, Cyprus, Orange Bergamot, St. Germain, 
Ambret, Spanifh Bonchretien, Virgoulee, Colmar, Lachafferie, 
and indeed all others, with good Care, the Summer and Win- 
ter Bonchretiens excepted for Dwarfs, but very well for A/- 
patiers, where they have Room to extend themfelves. . 
Your E/palier and Dwarf Pears being planted in the Au- 
tumn, at the Fall of the Leaf, as I before directed, at their 
proper Diftances, Gc. in May following pinch off the Tops 
of perpendicular luxuriant Branches, within half an Inch from 
whence they fhoot, and ’twill caufe others to break out as will 
be good Wood. At this Time you may difcern what Buds 
will be ferviceable in filling up empty Places, or for Fruit, and 
all others fhould be difplaced. This Work being now done, 
the Sap immediately heals the Wounds. : 
The Proportion laid down for the Diftance of Efpaliers 
from Walls, and their Height, by the Reverend Mr. Lawrence, 
is very good, viz. as Eight to Twenty, that is, if the Diftance 
of the Efpalier from the Wall be twenty Feet, the Height muft 
be eight Feet, €c. | 
The feveral Kinds of ufeful Wood in a Winter Pear-Tree 
are three, viz. Wood with Fruit; Wood preparing itfelf for 
Fruit, which is doing a Year beforehand; and laftly, the year- 
ly Shoot ; fo that that Shoot as is made this Year, is {wel= 
ling and knotting itfelf in the fecond Year, to produce Fruit 
in the third Year; but yet there be fome Summer Pears as pro- 
duce Fruit the fecond Year: Therefore Care muft be taken 
every Year to lay in young Wood to fucceed the Place of the 
old, which muft be cut out when grown barren of fruitful 
Buds, &e. | |
