New Principles of Gardening. 
Apples are increas’d, being grafted on Crab-Stocks, as before 
hater. and are generally “plated Standards, E:fpaliers, or 
‘Dwarfs, and beft when the Land is a freb ftrong Loam, with 
a good Bottom of Brick-Earth. ; 
If Apples are grafted on Paradife Stocks, they will bear 
Fruit the /econd or third Year, and are beft for ‘Dwarfs or low 
Efpaliers. Tis a common Pra€tice amongft moft curious Gar- 
deners to plant fmall Apple-Trees grafted on Paradife Stocks, 
in large Flower Pots, or Tubes, wherein they produce Fruit ve- 
ty plentifully, being kept in fmall Opex Heads, or Dwarfs ; 
which are at great Embellifbments of Entrances, Partares, 
inets, Sc. 
The Codlin isa Kind of Apple, increas’d from Suckers, ta- 
ken from its Root in the latter End of October, or Beginning of 
November, and is an excellent Fruit, both for its Earlinefs of ri- 
pening, and good Services in a Family. It may alfo be increas’d 
by Cuttings, cut of in March, and planted under a North 
Wall. The Apple-Tree does no Ways delight in being pruned 
in the Winter with a Kuife, the Canker being commonly the 
next as takes Place, which foon kills the Tree; therefore, I ad- 
vife, that in May and Fune you carefull y obferve to rub or pinch 
off all luxuriant, &c- Branches, and tie in others fit for Ufe, 
and thereby your Trees will be preferved from that Diftemper. 
The ef? Seafon for planting this Fruit is, when its Leaves are 
juft fallen, viz. in Ocfober, at which Time ’tis beft to plant the 
Cuttings of Paradifé Stocks, under a North Wall, which being 
kept clean ftom Weeds, and water’d in the Spring, if very dry, 
i: fit to graft on in three Years. Their native Place is 
rance. 
If Golden Pippins, Nonpareils, Holland Pippins, French 
Pippins, 6c. were planted again an Laff Wall, and their pru- 
ning perform’d in May and eae by pinching, as I before di- 
rected, their Fruit would not Only be much finer in Tafte, but 
wonderfully /arger and beautiful. 
The Kernels of Apples, faved from fuch Fruit as were graft- 
ed on Crab-Stocks, and fown, moft commonly produces a much 
worfe Kind of Fruit then the Mother-kind, and very often _per- 
fect Crabs and Wildings. If you fow the Kerwels as are faved 
from Apples, produced by a Seedling without grafting, the 
Fruit
