course be filled up with such as are coarser and 

 more hardy; and the subjoined list, from which a 

 selection may be made, is set down in the order of 

 that quality, beginning with the more delicate and 

 such as require the best aspect. It may be remarked 

 that none of the stone-fruits do well for training in 



o 



the espalier mode, save cherries, which bear for a 

 number of years on the old wood; but though they 

 admit of the protection of a net as well as on the 

 wall, yet this method is in other respects less eli- 

 gible, as the young wood cannot be laid in to the 

 same advantage. 



Where the climate is the best, and there is little 

 or no wall, it would be well worth while, for the 

 sake of stone fruits, to fix on the common rails a 

 series of laths, about as close as the courses of a 

 brick building, and which would answer as well for 

 fastening the young shoots. The expence would 

 not be great, and the laths, which are made of the 

 best foreign fir, would certainly last for ten years 

 if favoured with a coat of paint.
