THE MANSE GARDEN. 91 



such as are coarser and more hardy ; and the sub- 

 joined 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 as- 

 pect. It may be remarked that none of the stone- 

 fruits do well for training in 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 eligible, 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 expense would not 

 be great, and the laths, which are made of the best 

 foreign fir, would certainly last for ten years if fa- 

 voured with a coat of paint.
