THE HOME FRUIT-GARDEtf. 293 



1 Planet Jr. cultivator with its various attachments will 

 answer all purposes for harrow, cultivator, and marker. 



1 one-horse cart or wagon will be needed unless the heavy 

 work is to be hired done. 



1 seed-drill with cultivator attachment will be found a 

 very useful tool. 



Spades, spading- forks, manure-forks, square-pointed 

 shovels, iron rakes, wooden rakes, hand-roller, garden line 

 and hoes, in number according to the amount of work to 

 be done. A good wheelbarrow or hand-cart will also be 

 found useful. 



A spraying-pump of some sort must be provided for the 

 application of insecticides and fungicides. The common 

 hand garden-pump will be sufficient if only a few trees are 

 to be treated, but the barrel-pump will be found much 

 more serviceable and economical. 



Arrangement of the Garden. 



It is generally best to have all the fruits or vegetables in 

 the home garden grouped as compactly as possible in the 

 rear part of the grounds, and as far from the house as 

 possible, though this part of the grounds should be made 

 to blend with the more ornamental features. Specimen 

 trees of the large fruits may be grouped by themselves or 

 among the other ornamental trees, as shown in Fig. 167. 

 Grape-vines may also serve to ornament the buildings, 

 verandas, or trellises that may screen the garden from too 

 full exposure. 



This plan shows tbe ornamental features of about an 

 acre lot with the fruits grouped more or less in tbe rear of 

 the house. In the garden proper are arranged 5 apple-trees, 

 40 ft. apart, with 2 pears, 2 plum, and 3 peaches, 20 ft. from
