360 THE PLOEAL WORLD AND GARDEN aUIDE. 



The last remark serves to introduce all I think it needful to say 

 as to the caltivation of these trees. To buy and plant them is easy 

 work enough, but to do full justice to them is another matter. 

 Unless the soil is extra rich, the surface should be mulched every 

 winter with half-decayed manure, two or three inches deep, and 

 every tree not required to become a giant should be carefully lifted 

 and replanted every second or third year. The labour required for 

 this process will be more than paid for by the increased and increas- 

 ing productiveness of the trees. And to reduce the treatment to 

 system, the best rule to follow would be to lift and replant a portion 

 every year ; so that, in the course of every three years, all except 

 the standards should be subjected to the process. During the summer 

 the periodical pinching back of the shoots, until the latter part of 

 July, would have to be attended to. Such a shrubbery, therefore, 

 would afford recreative employment, as well as recreative sights, 

 odours, and flavours ; it would tend to promote perfect harmony 

 between the heart, the head, and the hands. And the consideration 

 of the subject is earnestly commended to all our amateur readers 

 who cannot command both fruit gardens and shrubberies on so ample 

 a scale as the scope of their desires.
