Years with Dung, or other Manure, 

 which will alfo be abfolutely necef- 

 fary for the Crops fown between : 

 fo that where Perions are not incli- 

 nable to help their Orchards, where 

 the Expence of Manure is pretty 

 great ; yet, as there is a Crop ex- 

 pected from the Ground beftdes the 

 FTuit, they will the more readily be 

 at the Charge upon that Account. 



In making choice of Trees for an 

 Orchard, you mould always obferve 

 to procure them from a Soil nearly 

 akin to that where they are to be 

 planted, or rather poorer ; for if you 

 have them from a very rich Soil, 

 and that wherein you plant them is 

 but in different, they will not thrive 

 well, efpecially for four or five Years 

 after planting : fo that 'tis a very 

 wrong Practice to make the Nurfe- 

 ry, where young Trees are raifed, 

 very rich, when the Trees are de- 

 figned for a middling or poor Soil. 

 The Trees mould alfo be young and 

 thriving ; for whatever fome Per- 

 fons may advile to the contrary, yet 

 it has always been obferv'd, that 

 tho' large Trees may grow, and pro- 

 duce Fruit, after being remov'd, they 

 never make fo good Trees, nor are 

 fo long-hVd, as thofe which are 

 planted while young. 



Thefe Trees, after they are plant- 

 ed out, will require no other Prune - 

 ing but only to cut out dead Branch- 

 es, or fuch as crofs each other, fo as 

 to render their Heads confus'd and 

 unfightly : the too often pruning 

 them, or fhortening their Branches, 

 is very injurious ; efpecially to Cher- 

 ries and Stone-fruit, which will gum 

 prodigioufly, and decay in fuch 

 Places where they are cut : and the 

 Apples and Pears, which are not of 

 fo nice a Nature, will produce a 

 greater Quantity of lateral Branch- 

 es, which will fill the Heads of the 

 X^es with weak Snoots whenever 



o R 



their Branches are thus fhorten'd ; 

 and many times the Fruit is hereby- 

 cut off, which, on many Sorts of 

 Fruit-trees, is firft produc'd at the 

 Extremity of their Shoots. 



ORCHIS, Satyrion, or Fool- 

 ftones. 



The Char afters are ; 



It bath an anomalous Flower, con- 

 fining of fix dijfimilar Leaves, the

 Shapes, headed for the mofi part, and 

 tail 'd, fometimes reprefenting a naked- 

 Man, fometimes a But f erf y, a Drone, 

 a Pigeon, an Ape, a Lizard, a Parrot \ 

 a Fly, and other Things : but the 

 Empalement afterward becomes a. 

 Fruit divided into three Cells, in. 

 which are contained many fmall Seeds: 

 to thefe Notes Jhould be added, The 

 Flowers are coilecled into a Spike ; 

 and the Roots are fiejhy, fometimes 

 roundifo and double like Tef ides, fome- 

 times fat, and in a manner Jhap^d 

 like an Hand,
