THE GARDEN WEEK BY WEEK 



Nov. fruits — Apples, Blackberries, Cherries, Currants, Dam- 

 I"I5 sons, Gooseberries, Pears, Plums, Raspberries, and 

 Strawberries — may be planted in November. All the 

 various types of tree — bush, cordon, espalier, fan, 

 ■^ . pyramid, and standard — 



-^'"^-^ — J^^ can be put in. Every- 

 thing considered, Nov- 

 ember is the best month 

 of the whole year for 

 planting. The soil is 

 moist, yet not sodden 

 with winter rain. It re- 

 tains some of its summer 

 warmth. Other work is 

 not pressing, and there- 

 fore the planting can be 

 done with due delibera- 

 tion and care. The 

 nurseries are full of trees 

 of all the best varieties, 

 and consequently every 

 buyer can get what he 

 wants. 



The selection of varie- 

 ties and the methods of 

 planting were gone into 

 so fully in Chapter I., 

 that it is unnecessary to consider them in detail here. 

 Vines and Peaches may also be planted in houses in 

 November. Bands of grease-proof paper a foot wide 

 may be tied round the trunks of trees and smeared with 

 grease to catch the crawling moths.
