if any one is unwilling to be at the 

 Expencc of either, then a Trelafe 

 may be made of Afh-poles, in the 

 fame manner as ii practifed in make- 

 ing Efpaliers; with this Difference 

 only, that every fourth upright Rail 

 or Poft fhould be very ftrOng, and 

 faftea'd with iron Hooks to the 

 Wa 1, which will fupport the Whole: 

 and as thefe Rails mult be laid much 

 clofer together, than is generally 

 practifed for Efpaliers, thefe ftrong 

 upright Rails or Polls will not be 

 farther diftant than three Feet from 

 each other. To thefe the crofs 

 Rails which are laid horizontally 

 mould be well nail'd, which will fe- 

 cu're them from being difplaced, and 

 alfo ftrengthen the Trelafe; but to 

 the other fmaller upright Poles, they 

 need only be faften'd with Wire. To 

 thefe Trelafes the Shoots of the Trees 

 ihould be faften'd'with Ozier-twig?, 

 Rope-yarn, or any other foft Band- 

 age ; for they mull not be nail'd to 

 it, becaufe that will decay the Wood- 

 work. 



Thefe Trelafes need not be erect- 

 ed until the Trees are well fpread, 

 and begin to bear Fruit plentifully; 

 before which time the young Trees 

 may be trained up againft any ordi- 

 nary low Efpaliers, made only of a 

 few flender Afh-poles, or any other 

 llender Sticks; by which Contri- 

 vance the Trelafes will be new when 

 the Trees come to Bearing, and will 

 laft many Years after the Trees have 

 overfpread them ; whereas, when 

 they are made before the Trees are 

 planted, they will be decayed before 

 the Trees attain half their Growth. 



Where thefe Trelafes are intended 

 to be made againft new Walls, it 

 will be proper to fatten fome ftrong 

 iron Hooks into the Wall, as it is 

 built, at the Diftance which the up- 

 VightPofts are intended to be plac'd ; 

 becaufe when thefe are afterwards 



\V A 



driven into the Wall, they difplace 

 the Morter in the Joints, and injure 

 the Wall. 



In the buildingof the Walls round 

 a Kitchen-garden, the Infides, which 

 are defign'd to be planted with 

 Fruit-trees, fhould be made as plain 

 as pofiible, fo that the Fiers fhould 

 not project on thofe Sides above four 

 Inches at moll; and thefe mould be 

 plac'd about fourteen Feet afunder, 

 in fuch Walls as are defign'd for 

 Peach and Nectarine-trees ; fo that 

 each Tree may be planted exactly in 

 the Middle between the Piers ; which 

 will render them more fightly, and 

 be better for the Trees : but where 

 Apricots, Plums, or Cherries, are 

 to be planted, the Piers may be only 

 ten Feet afunder; and againft every 

 other Pier the Trees fhould be plant- 

 ed, which will allow them fufHcient 

 room to fpread ; and as the Trelafe 

 will project as forward as the 

 Piers, the Branches of the Treesi 

 may be trained on a Plain : but when 

 the Eiers project no more on the In- 

 fide of the Garden, they fhould be 

 built ftronger on theOutfide, for the 

 better fupporting of the Walls. 



The ulual Thicknefs which Gar- 

 den-walls are allow'd, if built with 

 Bricks, is thirteen Inches, which is 

 one Brick and an half: but this fhould 

 be proportionable to the Height ; for 

 if they are all built twelve or four- 

 teen Feet high, as is often practifed, 

 then the Foundations of the Walls 

 fhould be at leaft two Bricks and an 

 half thick, and brought up level to 

 the Surface of the Ground, of the 

 fame Thicknefs; then they fhould'be 

 fet off two. Inches on each Side, which 

 will reduce them to two Bricks; and 

 five Feet above the Ground, they 

 may be diminiftYd on each Side, to 

 reduce them to the Thicknefs of a 

 Brick and an naif, which muft be 

 continued to the Top of the Walls.
