Red, the Hautbois, the new autumnal kinds, such as St. Joseph and Oregon, with a larger 

 bulk of some kinds other than those provided for in the outside wall borders. A selection can 

 be made from : Kitley's Goliath, Wonderful, Sir Charles N ipier, Au.miste Boisselot, Elton Pine 

 (late), Dumbarton Castle, Trollope's \ ictoria, Sir Joseph Paxton, and Countess (very fine) ; 

 and to provide runners for early forcing : Auguste Nicaise, Edouard Lefort, La Grosse Sucree, 

 and Vieomtesse de Thury. 



At 6ft. from the Strawberries some fruit trees in bush form, or pyramidal if 

 preferred, of the leading Apples and Pears should he planted, and to give a character 

 to the work the portions where the grass walk's end should have pairs of some free-bearing, 

 neat-growing kinds introduced, such as Pott's Seedling, Grenadier, Mank's Codlin, Seaton 

 House, Golden Spire, Bismarck', Cockle Pippin, or Baumann's Reinette, which naturally form 

 prettv pyramids, and four of the same kind should be placed in the centre, while for the 

 bushes or other trees confine the selection to such as are fruitful and handsome in growth, 

 as many others can possibly be planted in the orchard near to provide good store fruit. 

 For example, Plums are not, as a rule, satisfactory as pyramids, nor arc Cherries. For 

 bushes and pyramids the follow ing can be recommended to give the best results : Kitchen 

 kinds: Ecklinville, Gold Medal, Emperor Alexander, Stone's or Loddington, Peasgood's 

 Nonsuch, Warner's King, Lord Derby, Gascoyne's Seedling, Beauty of Kent, Tower of 

 Glamis, Lane's Prince Albert, Alfriston, Newton Wonder, Bramley's Seedling ; for dessert: 

 Kerry Pippin, Lady Sudeley, James Grieve, Cox's Orange Pippin, Ribston Pippin, Allington 

 Pippin, Egremont Russet, Hubbard's Pearmain, Adams' Pearmain, Mannington Pearmain, 

 Rosemary Russet, Sturmer Pippin, and Allen's Everlasting. 



In addition to those named previously, the following good kinds of Pears make 

 handsome and prolific pyramids and bushes : Thompson's, Beurre Fouqueray, Fondante de 

 Thirriott, Hacon's Incomparable, Directeur Hard}', Beurre d'Amanlis, Doyenne Boussoch 

 (bush), with Bellissime d'Hiver, and Vicar of Winkfield for stewing, and stewed Pears are
