 noiv prefented^ ought naturally to precede the other dejigned. 



Tho many are the examples I could g 'l've from the improvements 

 made on the culture of Fruity — -it may here he fufficient only to 

 mention one : That I have eat my oivn Golden Pippins at Edinburgh, 

 fully ripe, double the common Jize, and in all refpecls in the 

 highefl perfeBion, the beginning of November. Upon the vuhole, 

 had I a thoufand lives at command, I ivould fake or rifque 

 them all, without the fnallefi anxiety, on the fuccefs of vohat 

 is above mentioned. 



As I have noticed the indifcretion of fome Authors, by ivriting 

 on all the various branches of Gardening, — it may here be 

 necejfary to if form the ignorant, that I do not fubje^l myfelf to 

 that jiift cenfure by the propofed vuork. The culture of Fruit and 

 Foref -trees, in many material circumfances, are Jimilar, and the 

 fudy of them entirely confiflent vuith one another, — or rather, but 

 ttvo parts of the fame plan.
