C£ feme laft Week in as great Perfection as at 
<c Midfummer. He told me, he ferved a 
“ Gentleman in a Country near Hertfordjhire , , 
“ which abounded with falfe Cyder-Fruit. 
<£ Here, he faid, there happened to be a cer- 
cc tain Wilding-Tree, which had alargeQuan- 
<c tity of Fruit on it that they intended to 
* c make Verjuice of, being ignorant of the true 
£C Management of Cyder. This Gardener un- 
“ dertookto make good Cyder of this Fruit, 
<c and he did it accordingly by our Country 
<c Methods fo that it greatly furprized the 
cc People that drank of it. And he alfo in- 
<c formed me, that fuch Fruit as yours might 
<c be much improved, provided you could get 
<£ a certain Quantity of four bitter Apples, or 
“ fweet Bitters to mix with them, for all Bit- 
<c ters add much to the keeping of the Cyder, 
cc and therefore are much extolled in thefe 
<c Parts. But unlefs the true Method isexa&ly 
£< obferved in making of Cyder, the Labour is 
<£ in vain j for Cyder requires a much greater 
4C Nicety in its Management than Malt-Li- 
« c qaor.— — -When the Trees are put up, pleafe 
€l to direft them to Richard Doidge , Elcp at 
“ Elford Leigh aforefaid. Cyder is fold here 
€t for about ten Shillings the Hogfhead, Apples 
tc at eight Pence per Bufhel. I think, if they 
<c are fo cheap with you, Cyder would be 
<E much cheaper than Malt- Liquor, would you 
<c ufe the Method I have defcribed in my for- 
€C mcr Lettersj but beware of putting it into 
4 " any
