We shall suppose that one of the side walls faces the south, and is 100 ft. long and 7 ft. high. On this may be placed ten trees, to each of which there will be 70 superficial feet of walling; and a vine may be placed at each end, and one in the middle, from each of which a single shoot may be trained close under the coping of the wall, so as never to interfere with the other fruit-trees. The peaches, in order to prolong the season of that fruit, may be the red nutmeg, which ripens in July, and is hardy, but bears small fruit; or the early Anne, which ripens in August, and bears very good fruit, but is rather tender; the grosse mignonne, and the bellegarde, both ripening in September; and the late admirable, ripening in October. The nectarines may be the Elruge and the violet hative, both ripening in August; the Pitmaston orange (September); and the late yellow, which, though not common in this country, is of good flavour, and a very good bearer, ripening in October. The best dark fig is the brown Turkey; and the hardiest and most abundant bearer amongst the light-coloured figs, is the small green; or the Brunswick, or the large brae or purple fig, both which produce very excellent fruit, and are very hardy and very prolific, may be substituted.

The grapes may be the royal muscadine, the black sweetwater, and the esperione, which is one of the greatest bearers in the open air. In favourable situations, the red Frontignan will also ripen against a wall with a south aspect in the climate of London, and it has a very excellent flavour, even when grown out of doors. The wall having an east or west aspect, may be planted with the large early apricot, which ripens about the middle of July, the Moorpark (beginning of August), and the Turkey, which ripens about the end of August, or later. For the wall with a northern exposure, we would recommend the May duke and morello cherries, the one the earliest, the other the latest sort; the bigarreau couleur de chair, and the black Tartarian, a large cherry of the very richest flavour, and which will hang on the tree, if covered with a net, till September. The best and most useful plums are, the green gage, Washington, Coe's golden drop, Orleans, and the white magnum bonum, or the diamond plum, the latter being a very large and handsome fruit.

135. The trellis (which may be arranged as in fig, 34. in p. 71.) will be above 200 ft. in length; and, as we suppose it to be only a single trellis, that is, one Which is calculated for having the trees trained on only one side, it may be planted on the north side of the garden, where it is most exposed to the sun, with pears; at the two ends with apples; and on the south side with gooseberrieB, currants, and raspberries. Eight pears will be sufficient; and these may be the jargonelle, Marie Louise, Eye wood, beurre Diel, glout morceau, Chaumontelle, beurre' de Ranz, and Easter beurre'; all excellent pears, quite hardy, and good bearers. The first ripens in August and the last may be gathered in November, and will keep in sand or in fern, packed in jars set in a cool cellar, till May or June, or indeed till pears come again. The other sorts are placed in the order of their ripening. The apples may be of four different kinds, vis. the golden and Ribston pippins, and the Haw-thornden and Keswick codlin. The latter two are most abundant bearers, and the fruit is not only good to eat, but falls well in boiling.

As the trees of these varieties grow with great luxuriance, they should be carefully attended to during spring and early summer, to pinch out a large proportion of the young shoots before they have matured their leaves, in order to prevent the plants from becoming too luxuriant.

136. The gooseberries, and other small fruits, may be planted quite thick, and only two shoots trained in a vertical direction from each plant. They may be placed 2 ft. apart, which will require forty-five plants. The sorts we would recommend are: - Red: the red champagne, an early and excellent fruit; the early rough red; the ironmonger, an excellent fruit for tarts and bottling when green, and for the table when ripe; and Aston's Warrington, an abundant bearer, which retains its fruit till October if protected: to these may be added, for those who like large fruit, the huntsman and the roaring lion; the former having won 141 prises in the third and fourth years of its being exhibited, and the latter above 800. White: Whitesmith, early, prolific, and excellent; crystal, much esteemed for bottling; Taylor's bright Venus; and the white Dutch, which is preferred to every other kind for making British champagne. Yellow: Rockwood, a large early gooseberry, which gained 777 prizes in five years; and rumbullion, reckoned the best in the markets for preserving. Green: Massey's heart of oak, early and a great bearer; greenwood; and the Pitmaston green gage, remarkably rich and sweet. In all fourteen sorts, and the quantity planted of each may be proportioned to the taste of the occupier.

The currants may be the red Dutch, Knight's early red, and Wilmot's large red; the white Dutch; the champagne, which is of a pale flesh colour, which, though it ripens very early, will hang on the trees without protection till October, and with a covering (such as will be hereafter described) till December; and the black Naples, which is remarkably fine and large. The raspberries may be the early prolific, the red and yellow Antwerp, and the double-bearing or late cane.

137 The walks in the back garden we propose to be edged with strawberries; and, if space could be spared, the alleys inside the espalier trellis might be edged on both sides with strawberries also. These edgings would in all be about 800 ft. in length, and they might be planted with the following kinds, the large sorts being placed next the broad outer walk, and the small sorts on each side the alleys. The strawberries for the margin of the outer walks may be the old scarlet and Grove End scarlet, which are the earliest; Keen's seedling, which is a great bearer, and, taking it altogether, the best strawberry in cultivation; the roseberry, which is a very great bearer; the old pine, which is the best-flavoured of all strawberries, though a shy bearer; end Wilmot's superb, which, though it has not much flavour, is remarkable for its size. For the margins of the alleys we would recommend, as having small leaves and bearing the fruit on high erect stalks, which are not likely to be injured by the feet of persons walking along the alley, the prolific or conical hautbois, the large flat hautbois, the red and white alpine, and the red and white wood.

The last four kinds, if regularly supplied with water, will continue in bearing all the summer.
