' speaking, all the kinds of fruits we have nam 
young folk in all parts of the country, who having 
attended these horticultural courses, will be quite 
competent to afford advice on the management 
of fruit trees to those who need it, and also per- 
form the neeessary operations wherever it may 
be desired. Indeed, there seem to be openings in 
this line which х: in a short time, give em- 
ployment to many a man and woman too, who 
now hardly knows, in ven crowded state of nearly 
all industries, what to turn his or her hand to, to 
earn the wherewithal to exist in comfort. We 
have the jobbing gardener, but he is too often a 
“ puir silly body,” with a very small amount of 
the necessary knowledge. In the matter of fruit 
trees and bushes he is either a ruthless pruner, 
pruning without knowledge, or he sniggles here 
and there, and makes thickets of them. Roughly 
ed, 
can be readily grown in soil that is well-drained, 
and fairly fertile by Nature or art, in the 
country south of a line drawn from King's 
Lynn to Chester, the Grapes, Figs, and Peaches, 
having south or east walls; and Pears and 
Apples, and perhaps, Figs and Apricots north of 
that line, with protection during the winter for 
the Figs, and in the spring for the last-named 
when in blossom, 
WE have received the following 
communication from the Council 
of the Royal Horticultural Society 
relating to the circumstances connected with the 
retirement of Mr. Barron from the manage- 
ment of the gardens at Chiswick :— 
“ Royal Horticultural Society,

“Fally aware of s.: value of Mr. Barron’s 
services Thé upwards of thirty years, recognising 
be he had s earned se Bese м deserved a 
tiring pension, and anx to show him eve 
e, the Council felt that at his age they 
could not fairly place upon him the burden of such 
that they were consulting his best in- 
terests as well as those of the Gardens in offering 
him retirement on an allowance of £180 a-year,

Barron thanked

direction had alread taken 
* The Council Mert to find that they are ve se

as it could only have merit if shared in unanimously, 
It is, however, the earnest wish of the promoters, thi 
on his retirement from office the Council should still 
seek to preserve Mr, BaRROx's unique knowledge to 
the committee by offering him the position of a lit
