I fhall now give Direétions for Making the Efpalier, to which the Trees are to betrain’d : But this I would not have done until the third Year after the Trees are planted ; for while they are young, it will be fufficient to drive a few fhort Stakes into the Groundon each Side of the Trees, to which the Branches fhould be faften’d in an horizontal Pofition, as they are produc’d ; which Stakes may be plac’d nearer, or at a Paes Diftance, according as the Shoots produc’d may require, and will be fufficient for the three Ge Years ; for fhould you frame the E/palier the firft Year the Trees are planted, the Poles would rot before the Ejpalier is cover’d. The cheapeft Method to make thefe L/paliers is with A/bPoles, of which you fhould have two Sorts ; one of the largeft Size, which contains thirteen Poles in a Bundle, and the other Size thofe of half a hundred: The firft or largeft Size Poles fhould be cut about feven Feet and a half long ; thefe are intended for Upright Stakes, and muft be fharpen’d at the largelt End, that they may with more Eafe be driven into the Ground 5 thefe fhould be plac’d at a Foot Diftance from each other in a direét Line, and of an equal Height, about fix Feet above-ground; then you fhould nail a Rowof ftrait lender Poles along upon the Tops of the upright Stakes, which will keep them exactly even, and continue to crofs the Stakes ae the fmaller Poles, and the Tops which were cut off from the larger ones, at about ni = Renee Diftance, Row from Row, from the Top to the Bottom ofthe Stakes. Thefe Rows ofPoles fhould befaften’d with Wire, and the largeft End of the Poles fhould be nail’d to the upright Stakes, which will fecure the Efpalie: almoft as long as the Poles will endure : whereasif your Falftening i snot ftrong, train a up regu ; for well in an for a ftrong but € equal therefore > more care ‘ally exa amin ‘d before they are uw ise As forth ofe J Ae 1 e Dift J s ance fhould neverbe le! han fix not fo I thould enhr fo} moderate growing ‘Trees; but for visorode Shooters , venty little enou sh, efpecially if in which Cafe the four Feet afind recommendfor an Blan quett, a F the Poles will be continually difplac’d with every {trong Wind. When your Efpalier is thus fram’d, you mutt faften the Branches of the Trees thereto, either with {mall Ofier Twigs, or fome fuch Binding, obferving to train “themiin an horizontal peeceen| andat equal Diftances ; being careful not to crofs any of the Branches, nor to lay them in too thick: The Diftance I would allow for the Branches of Pears and fhould be prapersiog 4 according to the Sine oftheir Fruit ; fuch of them whofeFruit iis large, as the Summer Boncretien, Monfieur Fobn, and Buerre du Roy Pears, and the Rennet Grif, ippen, French Pippen, and other large thoul¢1 have their Branchesfix or eight nce at leaft; and to thofe of lefler th, four or five Inches will be fufficient : But forfarther Direétions, I fhall refer to the Articles of the feveral Fruits, as alfo that of 4 ey W oe the Particulars will be fuffiiently Srey, many Peoplepreferr’d, which {quare Timbers cut to any Siz the Strengththereof, or the Exp is willing to go to; thefe, tho’ t morefightly, when well fix’dand pain are not of longer Duration than one former, provided it is well made, and th are {trorng Ww hich are fet uprig ht: nor anfwer the Purpofe better, tho’ they ar more e “ifiee, for the greateft Bi ecauty fifts in the difpofing the Branches ot the which, efpeci ‘llyiin Summer, whe-n the Leaves are on, will intirely hide from Sight the Frame ofthe Ejpalier Therefore a ll Expence in erecting thefe is needlefs, farther than ma Provifion to fecure the Branches of the Trees in sular Order.
