and defended from the North, North-Eaft and 
North-Weft Winds, by Buildings, Woods, or 
higher Grounds. The Land (fays he) fhould 
rather incline to Drynefs than Moifture, with- 
out Springs, the Soil a deep and fat Earth, not 
a ftiff cold Clay, or binding Gravel, or a light, 
fandy, or hollow Earth ; yet with good Hus- 
bandry, if it run not into the Extremes of any 
of thefe, Fruit-Trees may profper reafonably 
well in it. Secondly , The natural Soil for an 
Orchard is more to be refpeded than a Gar- 
den ; for what groweth there, rooteth little 
deeper than it may be eafily manured. But 
Pear-Trees and Apple-Trees in Orchards fhould 
grow to be large Trees, and therefore fend forth 
Roots broad and deep ; fo that it tranfcends all 
Coft and Pains to enrich the Ground for them 
as far as the Roots every Way reach. Third- 
ly, But they that are feated or fixed in any 
Place, and cannot conveniently change their 
Situation, muft be content with their own ; 
and if any Defedl or Difadvantage be in it, it 
may be, it hath fome Advantage that another 
wants. If it lie to the North, the Trees bud 
and bloffom the later, and many times the 
Fruit thereby fucceeds the better, and is free 
from the injurious South Winds in the autum- 
nal Seafon. Fourthly , If it lie to the Eaft, it 
hath not only the Advantage of being later 
budded and blown, becaufe of the cold Eafter- 
ly Winds in the Spring, but the Fruit ripens 
the better, the Morning Sun in the Summer
