 feet wide, for strawberries (Plan No. 2, A, C), while at seven 

 feet distance from each row of trees a row of either of the 

 smaller fruits aliove named is jjlanted at from four to eight 

 feet apart in the row, at discretion, leaving eight feet space in 

 the centre, and aifording ample room for their cultivation with 

 the plow, or for planting small vegetable crops between them, 

 if desired. See Plan No. 2, B, B, p. 251. 



In this, or any other mode devised, fmits may be profitably 

 combined, provided the necessary sm'face space be afforded to 

 each, and suitable care and high culture be given to them.
