Mr. Satterthwaite's orchard, near Philadelphia, is quite as celebrated among horticulturists as are those of Mr. Quinn, near New York, or Messrs. Wilder & Hovey, near Boston.

But the peculiarity of Mr. S.'s management is, that every inch of his ground is occupied with other growing crops, and apparently not to the detriment of the trees. One of the theories now firmly fastened in the minds of fruit growers is, "that if fruit trees occupy the ground, nothing else should." But Mr. Satterthwaite goes on regardless of this idea, and his trees seem to help him out in his practice.

One of Mr. S.'s fields, of about four acres, is devoted to asparagus, which is planted about Five feet apart, six of the rows filling each space between the trees, planted thirty feet apart, and ten feet in the rows. Intervening spaces are economized by gooseberries, raspberries, rhubarb, etc. From this orchard nearly $400 worth of asparagus is taken to the acre, and from half the plat he sold this year more than fifty bushels of gooseberries, at about two dollars per bushel. But the pears are the main dependence, although season and crops are very irregular. The ground is very heavily manured, very carefully cultivated, and there seems a plenty for both vegetables and trees.

In another part of his grounds, Mr. Satterthwaite grows raspberries among his trees. These yield nearly $400 to $500 per acre, and then other parts are filled with strawberries. Every foot of ground is economized, and every tree seems exceedingly healthy.
