of combination in either quince or pear plot to place the rows 

 say twenty-two by twenty feet apart, or twenty-two by ten feet 

 if preferred, each row standing in the centre of a strip four 

 feet wide, for strawberries (Plan No. 2, A, C), while at seven 

 feet distance from each row of trees a row of either of the 

 smaller fruits above named is planted at from four, to eight 

 feet apart in the row, at discretion, leaving eight feet space in 

 the centre, and affording ample room for their cultivation with 

 the plow, or for planting small vegetable crops between them, 

 if desired. See Plan No. 2, B, B, p. 251. 



In this, or any other mode devised, fruits may be profitably 

 combined, provided the necessary surface space be afforded to 

 each, and suitable care and high culture be given to them.
