MAKING A FRUIT GARDEN 5 



For a wall with a south aspect Pears, Apricots, Peaches, 

 Nectarines, and Figs are the most satisfactory ; but Plums can 

 also be included if required. The same kinds are suitable for 

 a wall facing south-west or west. For a west wall Pears are 

 hard to beat, and espalier- and cordon-trained trees might be 

 chosen. Plums and Morello Cherries are the best for a north 

 aspect ; but sweet Cherries can also be grown there. Red 

 Currants may be included to provide late fruit for succession. 

 The same kind of trees will succeed on an east wall, and Jar- 

 gonelle Pears often do well on such an aspect. It should be 

 mentioned that cordon Apples of choice dessert varieties succeed 

 admirably on a south or west wall, and in cold districts will 

 produce fine fruit owing to the extra protection and warmth.
