and wider,when you are to take up any,and not to pull over- 
hard left you leave moft of the root behind^alfo the roots of 
foch Apple-trees or Stocks as have been rais’d of the kernels of 
good Fruit, are likewife more brittle than of thole railed of 
Crab or Wilding-kernels: Another thing worth taking notice 
of,is, that in cafe you have occalion to plant an Orchard, or 
any ranges of Trees near your houfe or walls, againft which 
you have,or intend to plant any choice Fruit,be fure to plant 
them at liich a diftance from your houfe or walls, as that when 
they are grown up to any conliderable bignels,they may not 
over-hang your Wall-trees,or hinder the Sun too much from 
comingto them,whereby your Fruit is much better in every 
relped 3 and as for your Wall-trees, be fere to plant your

Nedarins, Figgs, choice Vines, and the earlieft and bed: forts

and great bearing Cherries, lels Sun will ferve turn, and do 
well enough, yea, where there is fearce any for the greateft 
part of the year, but yet the more they have the better 
tailed they will be 3 and as for the diftance you are to ob- 
ferve between your Wall-trees, it is to be more or lels, ac¬ 
cording to the height of your wall, or the goodnels of your 
ground 3 the moft ordinary diftance is three good paces, but 
where the wall is low, or your ground good, your bed: way 
is to obferve a larger diftance, elpecially for Pears, except 
they be grafted upon Quince-ftocks, other wife you cannot 
keep them in good order without much cutting, which will 
increafe Wood, but little Fruit, elpecially in foch kinds of 
Fruit 3 but of this more afterward. 
One thing more I will add to thefe Inftrudions, the 
which I have often proved very well worth my labour 3 that 
being refolved to plant either Trees or Stocks, but by reafon 
of fome other occasions I could not get my ground ready lb
