 Borders for fruit-trees, 2484. 



Borders for gardening are of general use in horti- 

 culture and floriculture, as accompaniments to 

 walks, and walls or other fences. The former are 

 chiefly as ornamental compartments; and the 

 latter partly ornamental, but chiefly for the cul- 

 ture of fruit-trees, and the more delicate herba- 

 ceous esculents. The width of borders that 

 accompany walks, is generally guided by that of 

 the walk ; but they are esteemed handsomer when 

 broader rather than narrower; wall or fence 

 borders should, according to the most approved 

 ideas, never be less than the height of the wall or 

 fence ; since the roots of a tree require as much 

 room to extend themselves as the shoots. For 

 the formation of fruit-tree borders in kitchen- 

 gardens, see 2484 ; and in flower-gardens, 6111.
