APPLES FOR POT CULTURE 39 



Again, in the winter the trees can be set quite close 

 together, and the house be used to shelter such plants 

 as Agapanthus, Pot Figs, Bays, and other trees in tubs. 



Although primarily the house is intended for Apples 

 and Pears, Peaches, Nectarines, Plums, and Greengages can 

 be grown in it as well, provided the kinds are kept together, 

 as Apples and Pears require less syringing than the others. 



In addition to the cordon Pears named already, the 

 following varieties are very fertile when grown in pots : 



Emile d'Heyst (November). 

 Winter Nelis (December). 

 Fondante de Thirriot (Novem- 

 ber). 



Conference (October). 

 Marie Louise (November). 

 Souvenir du Congre*s (Septem- 

 ber).
