S8 AROUND THE YEAR IN THE GARDEN 



fully grown. Place them so that they will not interfere, or 

 will interfere as little as possible, with the care and cultiva- 

 tion of your vegetable garden or flower garden, particularly 

 in casting too great a shade where it is not desired. The 

 smaller sorts may often be tucked in between the larger ones. 

 Peaches, for instance, are often planted between apple trees, 

 as they are comparatively short lived. 



Satisfactory Fruit Varieties 



Having decided how many of each of the various things 

 you will require, the next step is to select the varieties. 

 Very often the gardener who becomes enthusiastic about one 

 particular good thing makes the mistake of getting all of that

Currants. Fay's Prolific and Perfection are two excel- 

 lent red sorts. White Grape and Lee's Prolific, black, are 

 very good varieties that are favored by many and are ex- 

 cellent for cooking and preserves. 



Dewberries are quite similar to raspberries but are a
