full two feet deep, in order to plant the fruit- 

 trees entirely in the ground to remain ; an alley 

 or walk being either formed next the back wall, 

 or earried along the middle, allotting a raised 

 border along the baek part, for the reception of 

 the choicer fruits to he trained as wall-treesj and 

 the main middle space for small standards of 

 moderate growth : in these the best sorts of 

 apricots, peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, 

 vines, and ligs ; likewise any small fruit plants, 

 as gooseberries, currants, raspberries : also tufts 

 of strawberries, which should ail be first trained 

 in the open ground to a bearing state; may be in- 

 troduced : i he peaches, nectarines, apricots, and 

 figs, should beplanted principally toward thebaek 

 wail, and trained to a treillis as wall trees: theche'r- 

 ries as standards, both small-headed, moderate, 

 full standards, half standards, and dwarfs, disposed 

 in the middle space, the tallest behind, and the 

 lowest forward ; with pots of strawberries and 

 low flowers, upon shelves near the glasses; and 

 the vines either within towards the front, or 

 wholly without, close against the front wall, 

 and the stems, or a .strong shoot of each plant 

 drawn in through a small hole made for each, 

 cither in the wall, or in the timber of the front 

 erections; and the branches within trained up 

 to the inside of the sloping glass upon treillis 

 work : in the vines planted on the outside, it is 

 necessary to guard the stems in winter, espe- 

 cially some time previous to, and during, the 

 forcing season, with hay-bands wrapped closely 

 round them, also to lay some dry mulch over 

 the roots, to protect the whole as well as possi- 

 ble, that the progress of the sap may not be 

 much retarded by the external cold, and to pro- 

 mote its flowing more freely for the advantage 

 of the internal growth of the vines, &c. 



The season to begin forcing or making the fires 

 in these stoves is January, or early in February, 

 continuing it moderately every night and morn- 

 ing, during the cold weather in winter and spring, 

 to C forward the different fruits to as early per- 

 fection as possible. See Hot- House.
