being much the bed, and the Fruit freed from 
the Wedern Winds, which, with the South, are 
the word. Fifthly , If your Land be in a dry 
or rifing Ground, you may plant them the 
thicker, which will cover and (hade the Ground 
the fooner, and make them bear the better * 
the Fruit will alfo yield a more vinous Liquor. 
Sixthly , If your Ground lie in a cold moid 
Vale, the fooner may you raife a natural Fence 
about it, to defend your Trees from the cold 
Winds and diff Guds, which diverfely annoy 
your Trees and Fruits. I once kn ew a Perfon 
(continues this Diredlor) that had acold,moid, 
flat, fpringy Spot of Ground, who caufea double 
Ditches to be made therein at ten Yards Dif- 
tance from each other, and about an Ell high - 
upon thefe Ditches he planted Apple-Trees, 
each ten Yards diftant from another, which 
Trees did grow, profper, and bear exceeding 
well. Seventhly , If the Ground be light and 
rich of itfelf, or fo made by Improvement, fe- 
veral Sorts of Apple-Trees, efpecially the Pip- 
pin, will be fo apt to canker, that they will 
fear ce ever make large Trees. Therefore a firm 
and drong Land is the bed for Winter or long 
lading Fruit* but for Summer Fruit, Land 
cannot be too light. The more it inclines to 
Rednefs, the better.
