VEGETABLE SYSTEM 
The trees of all the varieties of Pears, are propa¬ 
gated by grafting and inoculating the refpedive forts 
upon any kind of Pear flocks, raifed from feed or 
fuckers; and upon Quince flocks to have treesof fmall- 
er or more moderate growth fo~ walls, efpaliers, and 
fmall flandards; as more fully explained hereafter, un¬ 
der the article,, the General Culture of the Pears and 
Apples. 
2 . Apple Kinds. 
Confifling of three fpecies, one of which is the Com¬ 
mon Apple, (fuppofed originally the Crab) furnifhing 
many fine varieties of the fruit, attaining proper growth 
for eating and culinary ufes, cyder, &c. from June, 
July, and Auguft, to the end of October; the fummer 
kinds, attaining perfedion before September, do not 
keep long, but the late forts keep good in wintcr,.and 
fome till next fpring and fummer; and of the other 
fpecies, and fome varieties of the Common Apple, are 
alfo proper to plant for ornament. 
2. Pyrus Malus — (Malus) or Common Apple Tree. 
A moderate, deciduous tree, fifteen or twenty, to 
twenty-five feet high, generally with a fpreading, 
branchy head—the leaves (middling) ovate-oblong, and 
the edges fawed; and umbellate bunches of reddilh ro- 
faceous flowers, feffile, or clofe-fitting ; fucceeded by 
large, roundifh, and oblong fruit, umbilicated at the 
top, and moftly hollowed at the bafe.—Native of mofl 
parts of Europe. (Loamy or any common foil.) 
Varieties of the. Tree. —Common cultivated Apple Tree. 
—( Many varieties of thefruit, as hereafter.) 
< Double-flowered Apple Tree. 
Wild Apple, or Crab, with fmall, round, 
very four fruit. 
Whitifh-yellow-fruited Crab. 
Purple-fruited Crab. 
Stripe-leaved Crab. 
Dwarf, or Paradife Apple—a fmall, fhrub- 
like tree, with very fmall fruit. 
Dutch Paradife Apple—larger and ftrong- 
er. 
Thus far concludes the general regifler of the fpe-' 
cies and different varieties of Pears, efpecially of the 
principal forts; as there are ftill many more than is^ 
here enumerated, known in different parts of the king¬ 
dom by various names, peculiar to particular places; 
but as the foregoing lift comprifes a large affortment of 
principal varieties, from which to make a colledion, 
more or lefs, of good kinds for planting, it would be 
fuperfluous to add a number of inferior forts, or of 
«thers, not fo generally known, of good qualities. 
Though of the above, the Crab and the Paradife 
Apples, are by fome confidered as diftind fpecies, as 
they generally come the fame from feed, and which 
forts, are principally ufed for flocks, upon which to 
graft or bud the different varieties of the cultivated 
Apples; the Crab flocks being proper for large trees, 
and the Paradife flocks to form fmall or dwarf trees; 
and are likewife admitted in pleafure-ground planta¬ 
tions, for variety.
