 extent, for the 

 trees. A border

 and the walk, of 

 sufficient width 

 for the trees to 

 be trained on the 

 fence trellis. If 

 appearances were 

 to be strictly ob-

 wide as the fence 

 is high, but, as 

 a general thing, 

 five to six feet 

 will be sufficient ; 

 and wh ere 



ground is limited, appearance must, in many cases, be 

 sacrified to economy. Where the work is all performed 

 by manual labor, the walks need not be more than five 

 to six feet wide, as that admits of the passage of a wheel- 

 barrow, and this is all that is required.
