in bloom, as noticed hereafter. The kitchen garden walks may be 

 margined as now, with Currants, &c, or even with espalier or bush 

 Pears, &c, to stand their chance. 



To render our meaning more clear, we will take a south wall, 

 cropped, say with Peaches and Apricots ; take the wall fourteen feet 

 high, and the border as fourteen feet wide. Let the soil the whole 

 width be duly prepared for fruit trees, as it generally is near the wall for 

 thePeaches. We would then throw an arched trellis, springing two feet 

 from the ground at front over the border, to within five or six feet of 

 the wall, under which we would plant other kinds of fruit trees for 

 covering the trellis, say the best kinds of Pears and Plums on south 

 aspects ; Cherries, Plums, and Pears on east and west borders ; and 

 Warrington Gooseberries and late Currants on north aspects. The 

 accompanying diagram represents the wall and trellis, and will help 

 to show the plan of protection recommended. When it is wished to 

 put on the protecting material, the upright (<?), which, however, may 

 be permanent, should be set up, to hold the front horizontal bar, and 



a. Garden wall, with trees. 



b. Back support to trellis, iron or wood. 



c. Front ditto. 



d. Arched wire trellis. 



e. Iron or wood upright every 12 feet, to receive a horizontal iron bar, 



or spar. 

 /. Wood strips or bar iron, fastened to the horizontal bar at front, and 



to a similar bar (g), under coping. 

 h. Tie from rod/, to post b, to keep it steady.
