for soiling their ordiiiury trees at their ordinary prices ; but I 

 wish they would grow at leust a few first-elass trees, and charge 

 a ]iro]ier reinuiierativu prit:o fur them. The danger of removal 

 would be done away with by growing them in perforated pots. 

 Tbo lirst two or three years of a young tree's life are so impor- 

 tant, that the extra cost ought not to weigh with anyone. When 

 this is better known t!ic public will not aslc for cheap and nasty 

 trees; and then, I tliinlc, gardeners will have more satisfaction 

 in being piiid for work that they themselves can look upon with 

 pleasure.

 Bcrganiot), upwards of 10 feet in height; it was a bought tree, 



the Quince, which generally does not suit Ilampden'a Derguaot.

and it gave me great trouble to bring it into its present form. 

 The lowest tier of branches w^ so badly placed, that the tree 

 was nearly bare on one side. From the engraving it wiU ba 

 seen how this has been remedied by making the branch r fork at 

 r, and the left-hand shoot of the fork again divide a fhoit dis- 

 tance above r. The same difHculty arose in the next tier r, and 

 has been met in a similar manner. At s are two irregular 

 branches which have been shortened-in and left, because they 

 have some very good fruit spurs on them, but they will be re- 

 moved next season. The whorl of tranches at < is a verj- good 

 one, and had it only been a little lower down it would have been 

 all that could be desired. The stem above this thiid tier has 

 several small branches en it ; these will all be shortened-in, and 

 a fourth tier will be formed at u next year. The only fault in 

 this tree is in the position of the branches at n ; bad they been 

 close above «', the tree would have been a very line specimen, 

 but it was too old when I obtained it to correct this defect. As 

 it is, every bramh is a complete rope or "cordon" of blossom 

 buds, and it is likely to carry a heavy crop of fruit. It is on
