vantage in refpeft to ftrength and durability,, fixing the 

 main pofts in the ground ten or twelve feet afunder, with 

 fraaller ones between, ranging the horizontal railings from 

 poft to poft in three or more ranges ; the firil about a foot 

 from the bottom, a fccond at top, and one or two along the 

 middle fpace, and, if convenient, one between each of the 

 intermediate ipaces ; then fixing thin flips of lath, or the 

 like, upright to the horizontal railing as far as the branches 

 of the trees extend, ten inches or a foot afunder ; and paint- 

 ing the whole white in oil colour, to render it more orna- 

 mental and dui-ablc. In training the trees, their branches 

 are tied both to the railing of the treillage and the upright 

 laths, according as they extend in length on each fide. In 

 either of the above cafes, for an efpalier, five feet are ge- 

 nerally of fufficient height, as, if much higher, the winds, 

 having greater power, will loofcn and difplace them. 



Where walls are built with large ftones with the joints 

 irregular and far afunder, and which do not afford oppor- 

 tunities, like brick-walls, for naihng properly in the re- 

 gularity which is required, a neat treillage is fometimes 

 uniformly erefted all along clofe to the wall, to train and 

 nail the branches to in a regular manner. 



Thefe may be made of coarfe pieces of battens, railings, 

 &c. or of fuch as are wrought in a neat manner, according 

 to the convenience and tafte of the perfon who has them. 



In conftruAing treillagcs of this nature, fome make them 

 with clean ftraight rods or poles, and others with fquared 

 laths, which are an inch and a half in thicknefs ; each of 

 which forts of materials anfwers the purpofe very well. In 

 performing the bufinefs, the workmen, as foon as they liave 

 provided themfelves with a fufficient quantity of either of 

 thefe kinds of articles, and a proper fupply of hooked iron 

 hold-fafts, firil drive i'ome of the hold-fafts into the 

 joints of the walls in rows as much as polTible at regular 

 diiiances, which are left projecting about an inch or inch 

 and half from it, in order to receive the rods or laths in 

 both a horizontal and perpendicular direftion, at nine or ten 

 inches from each other, fixing in the firft row of thefe 

 hold-fafts towards the top or upper part of the walls, the 

 fccond near to the bottom, and the third all along the mid- 

 <ile fpace. When this has been accompliihed, and the rods 

 or laths are in readinefe, the latter of which may, if thought 

 iieceflary, be fquared and planned to the place, they begin 

 U) proceed to the framing of the treillage, by firil fixing tlie 

 rods horizontally in three rows, in the three ranges of hooks 

 as above, taking care tliat thele horizontal rods be pre- 

 vioufly chopped oif to nothmg at each end, in order that 

 they may be readily fpliced to each other to extend them in 

 length as far as it may be requifite. Having thus fixed up 

 the firft three rows of horizontal poles, fome uprights or 

 ftandard rods are faftened up in the front of the horizontal 

 poles, at the diftance of five or fix feet, after which the re- 

 mainder of the horizontal laths are ranged behind the ftand- 

 ards, nine or ten inches afunder, faftening them with wire to 

 the uprights, when they being all thus placed and fixed, 

 the reft of the ftandards are faftened up in front at the 

 fame diftance, the whole being made perfectly fail with 

 wire twifted round the hooks, and the croffmgs or inter- 

 feftions of the rods of the treillage or frame-work. Where 

 fquare laths are employed for this purpofe, they are ufually 

 about an inch and half in the fquare, beuig planed quite even 

 and fmooth, and then framed together in a neat manner by 

 proper mortifes, and fixed up with ttrong hooks and nails. 



Either of thefe kinds of treillagcs, when finiftied and fixed 

 up, ftiould be well painted over with white lead paint, in 

 order to render them more lafting and handiome.
