ORCHARD: In planting of an Orcha ereat Care fhould be had to the Natureof the Soil, that fuch Sorts of Fruit asaree adaptedto growupon the Ground intended to be planted, may be chofen, otherwife there can be little Ho yes of their fucceeding ; and it is for want of rightly obferving thisMethod, that we fee in many Countries Orchards planted which never arrive to any tolerable Degree of Perfection, their Trees ftarving, and their Bodies are either cover’d with Mofs, or the Bark cracks and divides, both which are evident xns of the Weaknefs of the Trees; whereas, yples, the Orchard had been planted with Pe fort of Fruit to nfteac ‘berries, or any other the Soil had been adapted, the Trees ht have grown very well, and produc’d great Quantities ofFruit. As to the Pofition of an Orchard, (if you areat full Liberty to choofe) a rifing Ground, open to the Sout -Eajt, is to be pre ferr’d; but I would by no means adyife to plant upon the Side of a Hill, where the Declivity is very great, for in fieh Places the commonly wafh down thebe great Rains do Part of the wherebythe Trees would be depriv’d + Nourifhment : But wherethe Rife is 1 at Advantage to the Trees, Sun and Air between them can uponan intireILevel, which exceeding Benefit to the Fruit, by dif- 1g Fogs, | and drying up the Damps, 1 when detain’d amongit the Trees, domix with the Air and yo it rancid : If it be defended from the Wz/?, North, and Eajt Winds, it will alfo rendertheSituation fftill more advan- tageous ; forit is chiefly from thofe Quarters that Fruit-Trees receive the greateft Injury * deTherefore, if the Place be not naturally fended from thefe by rifing Hills, (ra 8 always to be preferr then you fhould plant Cee arowing Timber-Trees at fome Diftance eet es from the Orchard, to anfwer this Purpofe. f You fhould alfo have a great Regardto e Diftance of planting the Trees ie hich a sli few People have rightly Se ds “ a 5 plant themtoo clofe, they will be la ieie Blights, and the Air being hereby penta 7°1 theFruit tobeillmongi{t them, will caufe having, a great Quantity of damp V% PO e ” the Perf{piration of the I rees, ad the wee tions from the Earth mix’d with i wie be imbib’d by the Fruit, and renderthei Ju crude and unwholfome. Wherefore I can’t but recom thod which has been lately pr attendit. y good particular Gentlemen with ver The ninth and eleventh Sorts are lefs common than the others, andare rar y feen but and that is, To plant the Rowso : in very curious Gardens: Thefe are the ten- feore ora hundred Feet afunder, dereft of them all, and fhould be plac’d in a ftance of the Trees in the Rows threeicor they Trees the warm Part of the Stove in Winter, but mutt The Ground between and fow with Wheat and other Crops, in the fame manner as if it were clear from Trees, and they obferve their Cropstobe full as good thofe quite expos’d, (except juft under each Tree when they are grown large andafford a great Shade); and by. thus ploughing and tilling the Ground, the Tre ; der’d more orous and nets, fearcely ever having any Mofs or other Marks of Poverty, and will abide much longer, and prodluc e better Fruit. If the Ground iin which you intend to plant an Orchard has been Pafture for fome Years, then you fhould plough in the Green Sward the Spring before you plant the Trees; and if you willerm it to | Summer fallow, it will greatly mend it, provided you ftir it two or three times, to rot the S d of Grafs, and prevent Weeds growing thereon. At Michaelmas you thould plough it pretty deep, in order to make it loofe for the Roots of the Trees, which fhould beplanted thereon in Offober, provided the Soil be dry but ifit be moift, the Beginning 9 will be a better Seafon. When you have finith’d planting the Trees, you fhould provide fome Stakesto fupport th Ms otherwife the Wind will blow them out of the Ground ; which will do them much Injury, efpecially if they have been planted fome Time ; for the Ground at that Seafon being warm, andfor the moft part moift, the Trees will very foon puth out a great to place the largett growing Trees backwar d, and fo proceed to thofe of lefs Geswee con tinuing thé fame Method1 quite through the whole Plantation ; whereby it will appear at a Diftance ina regular Slope, and the Sun and Air will more equally D throughout ee whole Orchard, that «every Tree may have a equal Benefit therefrom : The Soil of your Orchard fhould alfo be mended oncein two or three Years w Dung, or other Manure, which will alfo be abfolutely neceflary for tl if fown betwi een: Soc that where jee1s are not inclinable to help theirE Ord ards, e the Exper tygre: s there is a Crop expe from the G efides the Fruit, they will the more r adily be at the Charge upon that choice of Trees for an Orchard, you fhould < ulways obferve to procure them from a Soil nearlyal <in to that wherethley are to be planted, or rather poorer, for if you have them from a very rich Soil, and that wherein you plant them is I they will not thrive well, or five Years very wrong P where young‘I dling or poor fhould alfo be young and 5 whatey fome Perfons may advife to the contrary yet it has always been obfery "d; that pe rees may grow Fruit afte : ceremov’d, they neve of young Fibres, which, if broken off bytheir being difplac’d, will greatly retard the Growth of them. > fo good Trees, norare fo long- liv’d, In the Spring following, if the Seafon fhould which are pl anted while young. prove dry, you fhould cut a Quantity of green Thefe Trees, after t] ate planted out, Turf, which muft be laid upon the Surface of will require no other pruning but only to cut the Ground about their Roc turning the out dead Branches, or fuch as crofs each other s downward, which will prevent the Sun fo as to render their Heads confus’ d as unWind from drying the Ground, whereby The too often pruning or t xpence of atering will be fav’d; and Fi iche285 5 very injurious, after the firft Year they will be out of Danger, effpecially to Cher and coher uit, which provided they have taken well. will gum prodigioufly, and decay in fuch Wher you plough the Ground betwixt Places where+ they are cut: And the -areful not to go too and Pears v * not of fo nice their Roots, left you fhould cut will ° f, wh would greatly damage the Branches, ut if you do i oufly, the ftir- Trees with Surf i Ground will be of Branches are Tho’ you fhould ob- the ir tie Trees, nor } is firft produc’ ds to grow about ncots Goodnefs of eem ftrange to fo and ftarve end the allowin r the Turf which was laid round the ses in an Orchar i ly about their Ll Piece of Ground will ge them. in thi ‘fons who plant ma I to obferve, that when the in the fame Orch Trees are grown up, theywill produce a great > s alternately: but this is a deal more Fruit, than twice the Number fhoulc | always be avoided ; when planted clofe, and will be vaftly better ye a very great Diffe- tafted ; the Trees, wl laced at Growth of the Trees, which will Diftance, being never fo much in m unfightly, but alfo render of Blighting as in clof _ Plantations, lower Trees ill-tafted, by been obferv’d in Here i the g over-fhadowingt - So that County for Orchards, “where they find in’d to plant feveral Sorts of Orchards fo planted, or fo fituated, as that e Spot, you fhould obferve the Air is pent up amongft the Trees, 6D Vapou |
