220 The Principles of Fruit-growing 



den may be combined when the available area is small. 

 Corbett says that an area 60 by 80 feet will accomodate 

 442 fruit-bearing plants, and that an area 40 by 80 feet 

 will be sufficient for a good variety of vegetables. He 

 gives a diagram (Fig. 66), and the following key:
