THE GARDENER’S V E 
by which, both to admit of having a larger portion of 
different varieties cn the allotted fpace ot walling, 
and that they may fooner bear plentifully than when 
grafted or budded on free docks; though, where there 
is large extent of walls, may alfo have fome that are 
worked on Pear docks, in which the trees will fpread 
a confiderably larger extent, and, when planted, 
fhould be allowed a greater didance between the trees 
accordingly. 
Cr fometimes Pears arc trained in dandard wall- 
trees, or with tall dems, five, fix, or feven feet 
high, the branches commencing at that height, and 
ferve either, fome to plant occafionally between 
the common dwarf wall-trees, wherp there are lofty 
walls; or fometimes to plant againd the ends of high 
buildings, in fituations open to the power of the fun 
and free air; and in which, if much expofed, the dem 
of the trees being tall, elevates the head above the 
immediate reach of the hand, to preferve the fruit 
both from being pilferingly plucked by drangers, or 
other perfons who have lefs right to the produdt than 
the proprietor. 
However, for the general fupply of wall Pears, allot 
principally thofe trained in the common wall-tree man¬ 
ner, with dwarf or low dems, branching out near the 
ground, and to plant them againd fouth and other 
walls; for it is effential to have lome of the mod es¬ 
teemed varieties of the fined eating Pears in wall-trees, 
both fome of the earlier and late kinds, but more abun¬ 
dantly of the latter, confiding of the bed autumn and 
winter forts, that they may attain the utmod perfec¬ 
tion of full growth and rich flavour, for eating ; plant¬ 
ing the trees fifteen, to eighteen or twenty feet didance, 
the branches extended to the wall horizontally, four, 
to five or fix inches afunder, always moflly at their 
full length, as obferved of the efpalier-trees, and they 
will emit fruit-fpurs all along the fides, and produce 
fruit, both of the early and late kinds, in a fuperior de¬ 
gree of maturity. 
Or likesvife for walls, may have a few trees of the 
choiced varieties of eating Apples, to ripqn earlier, 
and of fuperior flavour, as Golden-Pippins, &c. plant¬ 
ed and trained as mentioned for the Pears. 
The propagation, or way of raifing Pear and Apple 
Trees, being by grafting and budding the refpedtive 
varieties of each upon docks of their own kinds, as 
before obferved, is performed according to the follow¬ 
ing intimations. 
The Pears are propagated both by grafting and ino¬ 
culating them upon Pear and Quince docks, which, in 
the former, are raifed from the feed or kernels of the 
fruit of any forts of Pears lowed in the autumn or 
GETABLE SYSTEM 
fpring, and likewife by fuckers from the roots of Pear 
Trees, though the feedling-docks are rather prefera¬ 
ble ; and either or both of which docks being of drong, 
free growth, are commonly adapted for large trees in 
dandards, wall-trees, and efpaliers ; and upon Quince 
docks raifed from feed of the fruit and from fuckers, 
cuttings, and layers of the Quince Trees ; which being 
of ’moderate or fmall growth, as befoie intimated, are 
proper docks whereon to graft and hud Pears, to have 
fmallordwarf-trees accordingly,both in fmall dandards, 
efpaliers, and wall-trees, where required to have the 
trees in thefe different orders of training continue of 
a moderate or dwarf growth, both that they may take 
up lefs room in a garden, and to admit of planting a 
larger variety, as well as to commence bearers fooner 
than trees on free docks; however, for the general 
fupply of common large or full dandards, the Pear 
docks are the mod eligible for that purpofe. 
And the Apples are principally raifed by grafting 
them upon Apple or Crab docks, raifed from the feed 
or kernels of the fruit of any kind of Apples, Sc c. which 
being what are called Crab or free docks, generally 
of a drong growth, are proper whereon to graft, to 
obtain large or full dandards, or occafionally large, 
fpreading efpalier-trees; and onCodlin docks, raifed 
by fuckers from the roots and cuttings of Codlin Trees, 
to form fmaller dandards and efpaliers of moderate 
growth, and fooner become good bearers; and Para- 
dife docks for dwarf-trees of fma'left growth, and to 
bear as foon as poflible in fmaller produdtions, accord¬ 
ing to their fize. 
To raife fupplies of proper docks for Pears and 
Apples, from feed, fuckers, cuttings, &c. the feed or 
kernels for flowing, are obtained from decayed or rotten 
fruit, or any others in the autumn or fpring, from 
Odtober or November, till February or March, and 
fowed in beds of common earth an inch deep, they 
will come up in the fpring, for planting out in nurfery- 
rows the autumn or fpring following; the fuckers, 
cuttings, layers, &c. may be planted in the fame fea- 
fons; all of which, both fleedling and other docks, to 
be planted in a nurfery, in rows, two feet and a half, 
to a yard afunder, to have two or three, to four or five 
years growth, for grafting. Sec. 
Sometimes, where large fupplies of common dand- 
ard Apple and PearTrees are required, and that there is 
proportionable extentof groundin fields, docks, for graft¬ 
ing, are occafionally raifed or planted in hedge-rows, 
to remain for that purpofe; or fome places where Crab 
docks grow naturally in hedges, they are trained up 
in proper dems; and in either of which, they are 
grafted as required, and permitted to remain always 
in the fame places, to acquire full growth in dandards, 
and to produce their fruit accordingly.
