17S THE FRUIT GARDEN. 



On walls ten feet in height, or upwards, riders 

 should be planted between the dwarf or principal 

 trees, in order the sooner to furnish the wall ; but 

 for low walls it is not worth the while, as gooseber- 

 ries, currants, or raspberries, answer better, and pro- 

 duce fruit more immediately. Riders of all or most 

 of the kinds in the foregoing lists can be had in the 

 nurseries; but they should consist chiefly of apricots, 

 cherries, nectarines, peaches, and plums ; as few 

 kinds of apples or pears would begin to produce 

 crops, before it would be necessary to root them out, 

 in order to give place to the dwarfs. 



Buzelars, or dwarf standards, that are substitut- 

 ed for espaliers, may be planted at any distance 

 from fifteen to thirty feet, according to the size it 

 may be intended they shall grow to.

OP THE KINDS OP FRUITS FOR ORCHARDS, AND 

 THE DISTANCE AT WHICH THEY SHOULD BE 

 PLANTED. 



\VHAT is stated in the preceding Section, with re- 

 spect to the multiplicity of the kinds of fruits, and 

 the propriety of limiting the varieties to be planted, 

 will equally apply here. I shall therefore only 

 enumerate a few kinds, marking those to be prefer- 

 red with an asterisk, as before.
