THE CENTURY BOOK OF GARDENING. 



their fruit as well as those trained lift, from the glass as flat-trained trees, and in that 

 manner greater variety can be introduced with an arrangement of sorts after this plan. 

 A supply can be obtained from June to October by planting such as the following : Starting 

 at the warmest end, we begin with Amsden June Peach, Waterloo Peach, Cardinal 

 Nectarine, Earl}' Rivers' Nectarine, Early York Peach, Condor Peach, Lord Napier Nectarine, 

 Early Grosse Mignonne Peach, Goshawk Peach, Royal George Peach. Violette Hative Peach, 

 Dryden Nectarine, Bellegarde Peach, Humboldt Nectarine, Pitmaston Orange Nectarine, 

 Dymond Peach, Barrington Peach, Spenser Nectarine, Newton Nectarine, Sea Eagle Peach, 

 the Nectarine Peach, Princess of Wales Peach, Late Devonian Peach, Gladstone Peach, 

 Victoria Nectarine, Lady Palmerston Peach, or others of like season. 



The illustration, kindly supplied by Mr. Challis of the noted Wilton House Gardens, 

 will show better than words what may be accomplished, but most of the fruit had been 

 picked before the photograph was taken. In front of these glass erections there will be

outside borders for the Grape Vines, and the fronts of the other houses can be filled 

 in with annual flowers, Begonias, Geraniums, Asters, etc., especially such kinds as can be 

 used to cut for decoration. On the Vine borders masses of Mignonette and the sweet- 

 scented Mathiola bicornis will not injure the vine roots. The 6ft. outride path of gravel 

 will serve for wheeling in manure, etc., so as to avoid cutting up the grass paths, but 

 when manure is needed for flower borders it will be easy to lay down boards to run the 

 barrow upon. 



The Wall Trees. — We have presumbly a part of the south wall to fill, and upon 

 this plant some Apricots at 15ft. apart, for choice Precoce de Boulbon, Frogmore Early, 

 Large Early, Early Moorpark, Blenheim, Moorpark, Hemskirk, and Powell's Late. In the 

 next selection the fruits are for outside walls.
