178 THE FRUIT GARDEN'. 



On walls ten feet in height, or upwards, riders 

 sliould be planted between the dwarf or principal 

 trees, in order the sooner to furnish the wall ; but 

 for low walls it is not worth the while, as gooseber- 

 ries, currants, or raspberries, answer better, and 

 produce fruit more immediately. Riders of all or 

 most of the kinds in the foregoing lists can be had 

 in the nurseries ; but they should consist chiefly of 

 apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, and plums ;. 

 as few kinds of apples or pears would begin to pro- 

 duce crops, before it would be necessary to root 

 them out, in order to give place to the dwarfs. 



Buzelars, or dwarf standards, that are substitute 

 ed for espaliers, may be planted at any distance 

 from fifteen to thirty feet, according to the size it 

 may be intended they shall grow to.

 THE DISTANCE AT WHICH THEY SHOULD BE 

 PLANTED. 



What is stated in the preceding section, with re- 

 spect to the multiplicity of the kinds of fruits, and 

 the propriety of limiting the varieties to be planted, 

 will equally apply here. I shall therefore only enu- 

 merate a few kinds, marking those to be preferred 

 with an asterisk as before.
