 27, frames ; 28, manure-

 The kitchen-garden being 



thoroughly drained, trenched, and manured, and the walls in order, the 

 following will be its first order of cropping : — a, Jerusalem artichokes ; b, 

 gooseberries ; c, raspben-ies ; d, red, white, and black currants in rows ; 

 e, strawberries, seakale, rhubarb, and globe artichokes ;/, a row of plum-trees, 

 asparagus, horseradish, and more strawberries; g, pot-herbs, potatoes, and 

 peas ; h, a row of pyramid apple-trees, parsnips, carrots, and tiu-nips ; i, cab- 

 bages, celery, broad beans, scarlet runners j k, pyramid pear-trees, scarlet 

 runners, broad beans, cauliflower, and early brocoli. On the south border, 

 plums and cherries. 



170. In all theoretical gardening it is forbidden to crop the border on whicl^ 

 ■wall-fruit is planted ; but this is rare in practice : the crops indicated "below 

 generally occupy such borders ; but probably a line might be drawn beyond 

 which such crops should not approach the wall. Supposing such a border to 

 be sixteen feet, twelve feet might be devoted to such crops in the kitchen- 

 garden as require a warm, sunny border.
