of them be left as long as may be, and at the end of 
the Root, the Cut mu ft be on the lower fide of it, fo 
that the Cut may be on the Mould. 
Now the Roots being all refrefh’d and cleans’d, if it 
be a Tree with a high Stem, and defign’d in the open 
Air to be planted, the Stem of it muft be pared off at 
7 foot high, and all the fmall Branches and Buds that 
remain upon it, muft be withexaflnefs taken off; for 
thofe Shutes which open themfclves a paffage in the 
Bark, and come out of the Body of the Tree, grow 
up always with the greateft vigour: But if you de- 
fign the Tree fora Wall or a Dwarf-Tree, you muft 
leave it fhorter or longer, according to the ftr'ength 
of its Foot, the quantity of ics Roots, and the goodnefs 
of the Soil, the Judgment whereof depends upon the 
Gardiner’s Prudence. But it being neceffary that 
' fuchTrees fhould put forth Branches near theGround, 
to cover the lower part of the Wall, in which the 
Beauty of Wall-Trees do chiefly confift, it may be 
beft, if the Foot is not well furnifhed with Branches, 
to cut very fbort, that it may put forth many. True 
it is, that a Treeftopt thus, having no old Wood re- 
maining upon it, cannot fo Toon bear Fruit : As tor 
Peach-Trees, -they being apt to want Boughs in the 
middle, muft (when they are planted) always be cut 
very fhort. 
Your Tree being thus cut, muft prefently be plan- 
ted, either in the Hole, or in the Trench prepared 
for it, and muft ntftbe funk into the Ground above 
the depth of half a foot; and afterwards all the 
Roots muft be handfomly extended without force 
or conftraint ; and if it is a Wall-Tree, the Foot of 
it muft be planted at leaft ioor 12 inches from the 
Wall ; ard laidfo, that the upper part of the Stem 
or Branch may come within 10 inches ofit, that the 
new Branches by that means may more comodioufly 
be placed againft it. The Tree being fo placed, the 
Roots muft be all drawn outwards as much as poflible, 
and brought from the Wall, that thereby they may
