ufes of Fruit trees. 
toucht at, but the more particular thofc 
which are moft to be refpe&ed. 
I am unwilling to trouble you with fb 
exadt an account as may be taken, how 
many greater and lefier Trees ftiould be 
planted on an hundred or one thoufond 
Acres of Land, at fo many foot and inches 
diftance, like what of late hath been pub- 
lifhed to the world, by an account to an 
Acorn , how many of them will plant one 
thoufand Acres of Land at a foot diftance, 
&c. having more of nicety than difcretion 
in it} only you may conclude, that one 
hundred Apple-trees may be planted in an 
Acre of ground at about twenty foot di¬ 
ftance} which is a good fizefor the Red - 
fired that Tree never growing very 
large: the greater diftance you plant them 
at, the fewer will be required: Confidera- 
tion alfb muft be had to the goodnefs of 
the Land} a dry hungry Soil requiring 
more Trees than a more liberal, becaufe 
the Trees will rarely be very large} and 
the more they ihadow the ground, the 
better, as before was obferved 
The Rates and Prizes of Planting one 
hundred of thcfe Trees, are alfo eafily to 
be computed} you may have them at the 
Gardeners, brought home, planted, and fta- 
ked.
