tuU two feet deep, in order to plant the fruit- 

 trees entirely in the ground to remain ; an alley 

 or walk being either formed next the back wall, 

 or carried along the middle, allotting a raised 

 border along the back part, for the reception of 

 the choicer fruits to be trained as wall-trees; and 

 the main middle space for small standards of 

 moderate growth : in these the best sorts of 

 apricots, peaches, nectarines, cherries, plums, 

 vines, and figs ; likewise any small frttit plants, 

 as gooseberries, currants, raspberries ; also tufts 

 of strawberries, which should all be first trained 

 in the open ground to a bearing state; may be in- 

 troduced : the ])eaches, nectarines, apricots, and 

 figs, should be planted principally toward the back 

 \\all,and trained toatrcillisaswall trees: thecher- 

 lies as standards, both small-headed, moderate, 

 full standards, half standards, and dwarfs, disposed 

 in the middle space, the tallest behind, and the 

 lowest forward; with pots of strawberries and 

 low flow ers, upon shelves near the glasses ; and 

 the vines either within towards the front, or 

 wholly without, close against the front wall, 

 and the stems, or a .strong shoot of each plant 

 drawn in through a small hole made for each, 

 either in the wall, or in the timber of the front 

 erections; and the branches within trained up 

 to the inside of the sloping glass upon treillis 

 work : in the vines planted on the outside, it is 

 necessary to guard the stems in winter, espe- 

 cially some time previous to, and durmg, the 

 forcinp; season, vi'ith hay-bands wrapped closely 

 round them, also to lay some dry mulch over 

 the roots, to profeci the whole as well as possi- 

 ble, that the progress of the sap may not be 

 much retarded by the external cold, and to pro- 

 mote its flov.ing more freely for the advantage 

 of the internal growth of the vines, &c. 



The season to begin forcing or making the fires 

 in these stoves is January, or early in February, 

 continuiu<r it moderately every night and morn- 

 inp, duringihecoldweatherin winter and spring, 

 to forward the difl'erent frwits to a; early per- 

 iection as possible. See Hot-House.

 ■ STOVE PLANTS, such tender exotics from 

 the hot parts of the world as require the aid of 

 the stove to preserve them in this climate.
