„ often very uleful to cool theAir, and 

 to admit a fmall Quantity of frefh 

 Air to the Fruit. 



The Soils of Fruit, which are 

 uiually planted for forcing, are 

 Cherries, Plums, Apricots, Peache 1 , 

 and Nectar 1 nes : but the two Iaft- 

 rncntion'd rarely fucceed well ; nor 

 will the Trees continue long ; fo 

 that they are fcarce worth planting 

 againft Hot-walls. As for the Vines, 

 I would prppofe they mould be 

 planted by thcmfelves againft a par- 

 ticularWall ; for as they will require - 

 more Air to be admitted to them 

 when they begin to (hoot, than any 

 of the above mention'd Fruits, they 

 will not all fucceed, if they are in- 

 cluded in the fame Frame* As to 

 the others, they will do very well in 

 the fame Border, and will demand 

 the fame Temperature of Warmth. 

 The belt of thefe Sorts to plant 

 againft thefeHot-walls, are thofe here 

 mention'd : 



Cherries. 

 The Early May, and May 

 Duke. 



Plums. 

 Thejean Hative, orWhite 



Primordian. 

 The Early Black Damafk, 



or Morocco. 

 The Great Damafk Vio- 

 let of Tours. 

 The Drap <TOr. 



Peaches. 

 The Red Nutmeg. 

 The Red Magcelain. 

 The Montauban. 



Nectarines. 

 Fair child's Early Nutmeg. 

 The Elruge. 



Apricot. 

 The Mafculine. 

 Thefe, being the Sorts which ri- 

 pen early, are the moil proper to 

 plant againft thefeWalis,A!tho' fome 

 ©f them are not fo valuable as of.her 



Sorts of thefe Fruits ; yet, as they 

 naturally ripen three Weeks or a 

 Month earlier in the Seafon, they 

 will be very early ripe, when they 

 are brought forward by artificial 

 Warmth. 



In the preparing of the Borders 

 for plant'ng thefe Fruit-trees, there 

 fhould be the fame Care taken, as for 

 thofe againft open Borders ; which, 

 being fully treated of in the former 

 Part of this Work, I ihallnot repeat 

 here. There muft alfo be the fame 

 Care in training up the Trees, when 

 they (hoot : but the Trelafes need 

 not be made againft thefe Walls, un- 

 til the Trees are grown large enough 

 to fpread, and produce aQuantity of 

 Fruit ; till which time they may be 

 fupportedby any low ordinary Tre- 

 Jafe, which will do very well till the 

 time that theTreeswill have Strength 

 enough to force, which will not be 

 until the fourth or fifth Year after 

 planting, according to the Progrefs 

 they have made ; for if they are 

 fore'd too young, it will weaken 

 them fo much, as that they feldom 

 make vigorousTrees afterward : be- 

 sides, the Quantity of Fruit which 

 fuch young Trees produce, is not 

 worth the Expence and Trouble 

 of Forcing ; for the Quantity of 

 Fuel ufed,and the Trouble, will be 

 the fame for fmall Trees, which are 

 not capable of producing more than 

 fix or eight Fruit each, as for thofe 

 Trees which may produce three or 

 four dozen : fo that the longer f'me 

 the Trees have to grow before they 

 are fore'd, the better they will pay 

 for the Trouble and Expence. 



But it will be the belt way net to 

 have any of the Frames made, nor 

 the Trelafe, or any other of the 

 Wood -work, until trfe Trees are 

 ftrong enough to force : for if thefe 

 are done when the Walls are frft 

 built, as is by loaie Pcrfons practifed,
