built due South. I know there are 

 many Perfons who object to the turn- 

 ing of Wain the leaft Point to the 

 Eall, on account of the Blights which 

 they fay come from that Quarter in 

 the Spring ; but, from many Years 

 Experience and Obfervation, I can 

 affirm, that Blights as often attack 

 thofe Walls which are open to 

 the South -well, as thofe which 

 are built to any other Afpedt: 

 and I believe, whoever will be at 

 the Trouble to obferve for fe- 

 ven Years, which afpecled Walls 

 fuffer moli from Blights, will find 

 thole which are built with a Point to 

 the Ealhvard of the South, as feldom 

 blighted, as thofe which are turned 

 to any other Afpedt : therefore, in 

 the Contrivance of a Kitchen-gar- 

 den, there mould be as great Length 

 of thefe Walls built, as the Situation 

 of the Ground will admit. 



The next belt. Afpect is due South, 

 and the next to that South -e ul, 

 which is preferable to the South- 

 well, for the Reafons before allign- 

 , ed : but as there will, for the mod 

 (part, be South well and Well Wails 

 in every Garden ; thefe may be 

 planted with fome Sorts of Fruit, 

 [which do not require fo much Keat 

 to ripen them, as thofe defign'd for 

 the bell Walls : but where-ever 

 there are North Walls, thofe will 

 nly be proper for Baking-pears 

 nd Plums, Morello -cherries for 

 referving; or fome Duke-cherries 

 .ay be planted againft thefe Walls, 

 o continue them longer in the Sea- 

 on, which w ll be found very ufe- 

 ul in fupplying the Table until 

 eaches, Nectarines, and Plums, are 

 pe. 



\\ here Perfons are verv curious to 

 lave good Fruit, they erect a Tre- 

 fe again!! their Walls, which pro- 

 ds about two Inches from them, 

 o which fhey fallen their Trees ; 

 Vol, 111, 



which is an excellent Method, 5e- 

 caufe the Fruit will be always at a 

 proper Dillance from the Walls, fo 

 as not to be injured by them, and 

 will have all the Advantage of their 

 Heat. And by this Method the 

 Wails will not be injured by drive- 

 ing Nails into their Joints, which, 

 by every Year being drawn out, 

 draws out the Morter from between , 

 the Bricks, and thereby makes Holrs, 

 in which Snails and other Vermin 

 will harbour, and deilroy the Fruit ; 

 and the Walls will be alio greatly 

 impaired. 



Thefe Trelafrs may be contrived 

 according to the Sorts of Fruit which 

 are planted againft them. Thofe 

 which are defign'd for Peaches, Ne- 

 ctarines, and Apricots (which, for 

 the moll part, produce their Fruit 

 on the young Wood), mould have 

 their Rails three, or, at moll, but 

 four, Inches afunder every Way : but 

 for other Sorts of Fruit, which con- 

 tinue bearing on the old Wood, they 

 may be five or fix Inches apart ; and 

 thofe for Vines may be eight or nine 

 Inches Dillance. For as the Shoots 

 of Vines are always trained at a 

 much greater Dillance, than thofe 

 of any other Sort of Fruit, the Tre- 

 lafes for thefe need not be near fo 

 clo'fe ; efpecially as thofe mull be for 

 Peaches and Nectarines, whofe 

 Shoots are generally lhorren'd to 

 about five or fix Inches or lefs ; fo 

 that, if the Rails are not pretty clofe, 

 many of the ihort Branches cannot 

 be faften'd to them. 



Thefe Trelafes may be made of 

 any Sort of Timber, according to 

 the Expence which the Owner is 

 willing to bellow ; but Fir is moft 

 commonly ufed for this Purpofe, 

 which, if well dried and painted, 

 will iafr many Years; but if a P' j r- 

 fon will go to the Expence of Oak, 

 it will hit found much longer. And
