sides of buildings. It is to be understood that cot- 

 tagers and small farmers are not recommended to 

 engage in the culture of sweet or dessert Cherries as a 

 profitable undertaking, except under the special con- 

 ditions above mentioned, and with the experience 

 of owners of established trees to guide them. For 

 enemies and remedies see remarks under PLUMS. 



OTHER KINDS OF FRUIT. 



There are other kinds of hardy fruit besides 

 those above mentioned, but however delicious they 

 are not of substantial value to cottagers, allotment- 

 holders and small working farmers, hence descrip- 

 tions of the cultivation of Peaches, Nectarines, Figs, 

 Vines, Mulberries, and even Apricots would be out 

 of place in an essay of this nature. In some locali- 

 ties where Apricots flourish, good bearing trees are 

 occasionally seen trained against dwellings, and 

 where these trees exist they form examples for 

 imitation to persons who wish to have similar 

 specimens ; and Figs grow well in warm sunny 

 chalk pits: but practically speaking, the kinds of 

 fruits named are beyond the scope of the great in- 

 dustrial body for whom guidance in useful fruit- 

 growing is desired.
