intervals as they may deem proper between each two 
rows of Coffee which shall occur in such interval. 
Now, supposing the fences to be allotted to every 
sixth row, and the Coffee-rows to be nine feet asun¬ 
der, the Pois-doux plant will be only four and an 
half feet distant from each of the Coffee plants of 
the two rows between which it is situated ; and, 
when it comes to extend its branches, must so far 
encroach upon the Coffee as to prevent those rows 
bearing so plentifully as they otherwise would do. 
I would therefore recommend the planting the Pois - 
doux in the space occupied by every sixth row of 
Coffee ; thus affording to every row the equal means 
of extending its branches ; and the Coffee plants, 
as the Pols-doux advances to maturity, may be re¬ 
moved for supplies in the places where they may 
be wanted. 
Before I dismiss this section of the Subject, it 
may not be wholly foreign thereto to touch upon 
the distribution of Coffee-pieces on hill-sides.— 
Along hill-sides I would ahvays lead good broad 
horizontal roads, at convenient and proper dis¬ 
tances apart ; on the lower side of which should be 
planted Pols-doux fences ; which not only arrest 
the further progress of stones which may roll down, 
but retain the soil washed into them by the rains, 
which may be collected, and afford a grateful nu* 
triment to the adjacent trees. 
Neatness in Piantership is, as in every thing 
else, a very desirable object; for though some may
