An orchard that is encompassed by a wall, or railed with suitable boards, not only affords protection to the fruit, but its value may be considerably enhanced by the rearing of dwarf-trees. The most profitable and delicious of this description are doubtless the Peaches, especially if they be intended for sale in a public market: hence we shall concisely state the principal sorts of such fruit as may be planted with the greatest advantage on the east-tern and southern sides.—Early peaches are always more favourably situated in an eastern than in a southern aspect; for, when placed in the former, they are not so liable to be injured by night-frosts as in the latter: on the contrary, late peaches require more solar heat, and will consequently be better adapted to a southern exposure.— Apricots, likewise, may be more easily and beneficially raised on the east than on the south side of the garden; because the heat of the sun exsiccates, and renders them mealy; independently of which circumstance, they are in the meridian direction more liable to be injured by night-frosts.—The west-ern wall will be most usefully formed into espaliers of Cherry and Plum-trees, as likewise for planting early Grapes.—Lastly, even the northern side is advantageously employed by the skilful gardener, who will, in this situation, endeavour to introduce the best species of hazle-nuts, filberts, etc. Plantation along the Eastern side of the Wall, or Railment; consisting of early Peaches and Apricots.

If the wall, or other inclosurse round the orchard, be from 7 to 8 feet high, the espalier ought to occupy a space of from 12 to 14 feet. In case, however, the wall should be only 6 or 6 1/2 feet high, it will be necessary to form the plantation of peaches, at the distance of 18 or 20 feet from the neighbouring trees. I. The following list contains a view of the most valuable and early sorts of Peaches and Apricots, which should adorn the Eastern side of the Wall.

1. The Small Naked Early Peach (Petite Violette-hative) yields a tolerably mellow fruit, of a yellowish shade, but rose-coloured about the kernel ; its juice is strongly aromatic, and of a delicious taste. It ripens in the beginning of September, somewhat earlier than the large variety of the same name.

2, and 3. The Pine-Apple Apricot, is one of the most savoury ;, more oblong than round, marked with deep-red spots on the south side, and, in other parts, of a golden tint. Its pulp is throughout of a reddish-yellow colour, and contains a highly flavoured, palatable juice. It never turns mealy, like the other sorts, and ripens about the middle of August. Its kernel is as sweet as an almond.

4. The Brussels Apricot (Abri-cot de Nancy), is of a considerable size; somewhat oval, being slightly red; and for the most part of a pale yellow shade; its pulp is reddish-yellow, and melts in the mouth ; the copious juice is of an agreeable taste and flavour —This fruit also attains to perfection in August.

5. The Large Early Apricot (Grand Abricot hatif ; Abricot commun), a large and beautiful fruit, of a dark-yellow shade, and sometimes red; it has a good juicy pulp, but no peculiar flavour ; and easily turns mealy, after having arrived at the point of maturity. It becomes ripe soon after the small early apricot.

6. The Large Sugar Apricot resembles in size and shape the preceding variety ; but, when full grown, has a coat somewhat fallow ; its pulp is of a golden hue, and remarkably saccharine; it ripens after the early sort last mentioned.

7. The Early Montague Peach is of a large and handsome size ; of a fine red tint on the side exposed to the sun, and a yellowish cast in other parts; being juicy, sweet, and without any red dye about the kernel, from which it is not readily separated: it ripens about the latter end of August.

8. The Bellegarde is likewise a very beautiful, large, and excellent peach, with a strong tint of red on a yellow ground, and of a deep-red shade on the south side. Its pulp, though rather firm, yields a sweet juice of an agreeable taste; the fruit is in season together with the preceding kind.

9, and 10. The Maltese Peach is highly esteemed by those who prefer a sweet to a vinous taste: it is of a middling size, a spherical form, red-streaked on the south side, and. in other directions yel low ; the pulp is white, exceedingly delicate ; melts without appearing watery; contains an uncommon proportion of saccharine matter ; and has an exquisite flavour. The stone firmly adheres to the flesh, and presents a small point in one of its extremities; the fruit arrives at maturity toward the end of September.

11. The Red Magdalen is also a fine, inviting peach; having a white mellow pulp, which is red around the kernel ; affords a savoury, sweet juice; and ripens about the middle of September.

12. The Charlestown, or Ananas Peach, is a new sort, reared in America, from the kernel. Although its colour is inferior to that of most other peaches, being of an uniformly pale yellow, without any red tint, yet its firm and juicy pulp possesses the delicious flavour of the pine-apple : it ripens in the beginning of October.

13. The Genoese Peach maintains the first rank; being of a considerable size, and marbled of a bright-red tint on the south side ; its dark-yellow pulp is incomparably delicate, resembles in flavour that of the melon ; and is of a rose-red hue around the stone: this fruit attains to perfection about Michaelmas, or somewhat later.

14. The White Magdalen, a tolerably large, round peach, of a yellowish-white, but of a lively red on the south side: its pulp is mellow, and very grateful to the palate; of a rose-red tint about the stone, and yielding a sweet juice : it is eatable about the middle of September.

II. Plantation along the South-side of the Orchard, with Peaches of the first rank, hut which attain to maturity at a later period. 1, and 2. The Maltese Peach.— See above, No. 9.

3. The Red Magdalen.- See 4.

4. The Admirable Peach, a very large and comely fruit, of an agreeable mixture of colours ; its pulp, though rather firm, has a delicate taste; contains a sweet, vinous juice, of a fine flavour; and is pale-red near the stone : it becomes eatable about the middle of Sep-tember.

5. The White Magdalen.— See above, No. 14.

6. The Genoese Peach. — See No. 13.

7. The Charlestown Ananas Peach.— See No. 12.

8. The Small Charlestown Ana-nas Peach, agrees in colour and other respects with that of a larger size ; and, though of inferior growth, it excels in taste, and partakes more of the Pine-apple flavour.

9. The same Peach of the smaller kind.

10. The same, of the larger sort.

11. The Genoese Peach.

12. The Great, Red, Naked Early Peach, the top of which is of a very dark-red hue, and the lower part greenish-yellow ; its mellow pulp partakes of a yellow tint, but is rose-red around the stone; of an agreeably sweet vinous taste, and excellent flavour ; arriving at perfection in the beginning of September.

13. The Nolle Peach is large, spherical, marbled; of a purple tint; has a luscious taste ; is faintly red about the stone ; and ripens in September.

14. The Giant Nectarine (Pavie monstreuse, ou de Pomponne) is the largest of all the peaches, and a true ornament to the dessert ; as it displays a beautiful red tint on a white ground. Its pulp is white, though red in the parts next the stone, and contains a vinous, sweet juice; but requires a favourable summer, a mild autumn, and the warmest situation in the espalier : it is mature in October.

15. The Chancellor' s Peach, a very large, somewhat oblong fruit, marked with a deep furrow, and a small wart 3 having a fine skin, beautifully red on the south side : its pulp is delicate, and yields a saccharine juice. It may be eaten in the beginning of September.

16. The Princess's Peach, or Large French Mignonne, one of the most handsome and delicious fruits, of a dark-red and greenish-yellow cast ; having a white, melting, and agreeable pulp; containing a sweetish, vinous juice; and being in season about the middle of September.
