I will here make an extract from Mr. P. Le Cornu's work on 

 cordon fruit trees that may be of interest. The cordon system of 

 growing fruit trees as adopted in the Royal Garden at Sandringham 

 Palace, is now becoming very popular, and deservedly so, for by no 

 other means can the same quantity of fine, highly flavored fruit be 

 produced in any given space. Apples, pears and plums succeed as 

 cordon, but more especially the former. Pears are also very profit- 

 able when grown in this manner and produce an abundance of fruit 

 of larger size and better quality than that which is grown on pyra- 

 mids, or ordinary wall trees. For the following reasons I hold that 

 this is the best of all systems and firmly believe it would be adopted 

 by many more if they only knew the advantages which are to- be de- 

 rived from it.
