If the hack garden lies in the direction of east and west, then the wall, having a southern exposure, may be planted with peaches, nectarines, and apricots. The wall facing the east or west might be planted with baking plums and cherries, and the wall with an aspect to the north with morello cherries and currants, or with baking apples and pears, including some of the earliest sorts, and some of the latest. If the back garden lies in the direction of north and south, then the only wall having a southern exposure will be one of the end walls, and on this grapes or peaches may be planted; while the two side walls may be covered with pears, apples, plums, and cherries, with a gooseberry or a currant between each, to be removed as soon as the fruit-trees require more room.
