38 Oi THE FORMATION" -SECT. lit. 



Currants, goofeberrks and rafpberries, do well efpa- 

 liered, as to a production of early and fine fruit. 



Trees of a more humble nature, and flirubs, next 

 occupy attention in furnifliing a garden. Currants mid. 

 goofeberrks' (as bufhes) mould be planted three- feet 

 from the edge, and full fix feet afunder. Some of 

 thefe very ufeful flirubs mould grow in every afpecl of 

 the garden, in order to have a fucceffion of their fruits, 

 as long as may be. Thofe who choofe to plant whole 

 quarters of currants and goofeberrks, ought to do it at 

 fix feet afunder in the rows, and the rows eight feet 

 from one another. 



Rafpberries may be fet in plantations, in rows five 

 feet afunder allowing three feet between the plants. 

 Though thefe flirubs are beft by themfelves, yet here 

 and there by the walks a detached bunch may be kept, 

 or here and there one again ft a warm wall. Between 

 rows of rafpberries planted at the above diftance, 

 coleworts, early cabbages, cauliflowers, and lettuces may 

 be fet, orfpinach fowed in drills, the rafpberries having 

 had their pruning and drefling early in Autumn, for 

 the purpofe. Every year a little fhort manure, dug in 

 clofe about the roots, (and deeper as the plantation gets 

 older) will infure fine fruit. Rafpberries are not very 

 nice as to foil and fituation ; but the hvice bearing fort 

 mould have a dry foil and warm birth to forward the 

 crops, that the lafl may be in time: See that the plants 

 to be fet have good brufliy roots, and two or three eyes- 

 to each root near the ftems, for the next year's bearing. 

 The fmooth wooded, or cane rafp, is to be preferred 

 for a principal crop. 



Strawberries may be planted at the edges of borders 

 and quarters, either in fingle or double rows, (rather 

 the latter) for the convenience of gathering, and for 

 ornament; but the common and beft way is, in four 

 feet beds, with eighteen inch or two feet alleys, on 

 which beds may be five rows of the wood and Alpine, 

 four of the fcarlet and pine-apple three of the Ca-
