 'o east and west fence, in order to turn the horse when cultivating. These can be 

 planted with potatoes from where they pass by the two roads running north. But 

 little harm will be done by the horse stepping on them the few times the currants 

 require cultivation. 10, 10, 10, 10, strawberry plants, rows running east and west 

 from the center road to the east and west road, simply leaving a vacancy m each row 

 for the four foot paths. Of course the different kinds of fruit can be planted in 

 different parts if desired. Fruit trees can be planted all among these small fruits if 

 desired, and when they become large and shade the ground too much the land can be 

 given up to such. The roads should all be cultivated and kept clean, or they can 

 be seeded down, or if it is not desirable to plant fruit trees, but to keep the grounds 

 expressly for small fruits and truck, and a neat, tasty appearance to the grounds is 

 wanted, a row of dwarf trees can be set around the edges of the south side road, with 

 two rows of standard trees, such as pears, cherries, and plums, on each side of the 

 center road, and also around close to the outside fence. 



- We present below a simple plan by which a small garden can be laid out for small 

 fruits and early vegetables, and present a neat and attractive appearance, besides being 

 very convenient. 1 is the entrance gate ; 2 a walk running through the center of the 

 plot, six feet wide over which a cheap arbor can be made seven feet high and six feet 

 wide, by simply setting posts that height and nailing slats twelve feet long, one inch 

 thick and two and a half inches wide, eighteen inches to two feet apart. Nail from 

 top of posts on one side to the other strong pieces two by three, and on them same 

 kind oi slats as on the side. Grow on the arbor, say three or four kinds of grapes to 

 •nake a rotation from the earliest to the latest, say Eumelan, or Hartford Proline, for 

 early, Concord for medium and Diana or Isabella or Catawba for late. Set twelve 

 feet apart and keep well trained over the arbor, keeping all superfluous branches cut 

 off. Renew the vines every three or four years as described on another, page of this 

 work. 7 indicates nanow paths three ox four feet wide, running around the outside
