THE GENESEE FARMEE.

sirable. Strawberries will remain but two or three 

 years in one place, so we do not locate them. 



Tiie grape trellis (G.) should be so situated as to 

 have all the advantage which hot sun can give to 

 ripen off the fruit, and the vines planted on a rich 

 border, not burdened with mucli other vegetation. 



The asparagus (L>,) and the pie-plant should also 

 be planted where the exposure to the sun is good, 

 and high manui-ing easy. 



PLAK FOR LAYING OUT A SMALL GAEDEX. 



The forepart of the sketch will need little explan- 

 ation. A, is the house ; B, the barn ; 0, barn- 

 yard ; D, asparagus bed ; E, arbor ; F, flower gar- 

 den ; G, clothes-horse. 



The location of the flower garden, arbor, and 

 walks, the diftereut varieties of trees for ornament, 

 and the general style of the ornamental grounds, 

 will of course vary much according to the means 

 and tastes of the proprietors ; but our own prefer- 

 ence is for thick planting about the outsiile bound- 

 aries, and a fine lawn of moderate size, well kept, 

 in the immediate vicinity of the house, with such 

 thin planting near the building, as will show the 

 entire forms and give space for the perfect devel- 



opment of some beautiful evergreen and weeping 

 deciduous trees. 



We are not in favor of having fruit trees on the 

 ornamental grc)un<ls, but whore the garden is small, 

 it is sometimes allowable. Of all fruit trees, per- 

 haps the cherry is best for tliis purpose. In the 

 sketch we place six standard cherry trees, (c,) to 

 the right of the house, on the lawn. They should 

 be about thirty-two feet apart. We would recom- 

 mend one each of the following vari- 

 eties: Mayduke, Gov. Wood, Knight's 

 Early Black, Yellow Spanish, Belle 

 Maguifique, and Downer's Late. 



In the kitchen garden the following 

 trees and small fi'uits may be planted, 

 leaving considerable room to spare for 

 vegetables, and for the planting of such 

 other fruits as the peculiar taste of the 

 owner may require.
