Other Fruit Trees, the mulberry, quince, medlar, service, and filbert, 

 are sometimes introduced as espalier trees or dwarf standards, especially 

 where there is no orchard; but all such trees do best trained in a more 

 natural form. 



The plants may be procured either one year grafted or some years 

 trained. All those to be planted on espaliers should be trained in the 

 horizontal manner ; and in planting, the greatest care must be taken to 

 place the plants on hills, so that when the ground has finally settled, 

 their collars may be an inch or two above the surface. The distance 

 at which they are placed from the espalier-rail may be from six 

 inches to nine inches, and the distance from plant to plant may be 

 from five to fifteen feet. All plants grown on espaliers should be on 

 dwarfing stocks, and the thicker they are planted the sooner the space 

 is covered. If large trees are preferred, it is very easy gradually 

 to cut away those that are in the way, and allow the permanent plants 

 to occupy the space of two or three temporary trees. 



Fruit-Shrubs. 



Gooseberries and Currants are frequently planted as espaliers or dwarfs 

 along the margins of walks ; but to train these fruits on espaliers is to 

 produce them at an unnecessary expense, unless the saving of room is 

 a material object ; and as dwarfs they are in general too low to make an 

 effective separation of the walk and its border from the interior of the 

 compartment. They are, however, very effective as pyramids, either 

 in rows by the sides of walks, or otherwise. They are, however, mostly 

 cultivated in plantations by themselves. The distance may be ten feet 

 between the rows, and six feet between the plants in the row. Goose-
