 Rivers', Bigarreau. Napoleon, White Bigarreau. 



MISCELLANEOUS FRUITS. 



Filberts and cobnuts may be planted in rows outside 

 the kitchen garden, or between the standard trees in 

 orchard, or even in shady positions near woodland walks. 



Mulberries should be planted on grass, so that the ripe 

 fruit may fall without bruising or becoming dirty, and 

 fruit that thus falls is the best for dessert. 



Medlars are usually grown as standard trees, and may 

 be planted in any sheltered position outside the kitchen 

 garden, or adjoining the ornamental ground. 



Quinces require a low and moist situation, and thrive 

 best in a stiff soil, and maybe planted either as standards 

 or pyramids. 



Walnuts are usually planted as ornamental trees either 

 in the park or woodland, or they may be planted in the 

 neighbourhood of the kitchen garden, but not too closely 

 to it. 



Blackberries. A few varieties of these are well worth 

 cultivating for preserving purposes, and also for dessert, 

 and may be planted in connection with the bush fruits, 

 and trained to tall stakes, or wire fences, or they succeed 

 well trained on the north side of wooden fences. 



DISTANCES AT WHICH TO PLANT. 



Walls. Peaches, apricots, and nectarines twelve feet 

 to fifteen feet apart, and if the walls are high, riders or 

 standard-trained trees may be planted between. Plums, 

 pears, and cherries fan-trained, ten feet to twelve feet 

 apart. Pears horizontal trained, fifteen feet. For low 

 walls always give greater distance between the trees
