Of Propagating Fruit-trees. 
bearer, by reafon the Bloffoms in the 
Spring are not fo obvious to the bitter 
blafts, nor the Fruit in the Autumn to the 
fierce and deftru&ive Winds. 4. Fruits are 
more eafily gathered from a low than a tall 
Tree , beating or (halting down Fruit from 
fuch Trees, being to be rcje&ed by all ju¬ 
dicious Ciderifts. 5. Any Fruit on a low 
welMpread Tree, is better and fairer than 
that on a tall Tree, by the fame reafon that 
the Tree is fairer, that is, that the Sap is not 
fo much wafted in the low and humble Tree, 
as in the tall and lofty. 
This way of planting dwarf-Trees is but 
lately in ufe, deriving its original from 
France , whence the Poet advifes. 
In open plains on which the warm Sun lies. 
There let your Trees afpire. In grounds en¬ 
clos'd^ 
Let a dwarf-race of Fruit-trees he difpos’d, 
Whofe boughs are round and fort: not bo¬ 
dies tall. 
Let not any one think it a difparag- 
ment to our Nation, to imitate the excel¬ 
lencies of any other; nor think that our 
Forefathers were fo wile, as to know all 
things; every race of Mankind, and every 
age
