906. Plants of gooseberries and currants may be procured from the 

 nurseries, of one, two, or three years' growth ; care should be taken not 

 to plant them too deep ; if against espaliers, they are trained in the perpen- 

 dicular manner (808) ; but if in compartments, or along walks, as dwarfs, 

 they are best left to take their natural shapes ; thinning out the branches so 

 as to give free access of light and air to the interior of the bush. Raspberries 

 being suflfruticose plants, the wood formed in one year dying down the next, 

 can only be procured of one year's growth, and they require little pruning 

 except that of shortening the shoots. Their management, and that of the 

 gooseberry and currant, will be found in our Fruit Catalogue. 



SuBSECT. IV. — Selection of Fruit-trees adapted for an Orchard. 



907. Few kitchen-gardens can produce a sufficient supply of apples, pears, 

 and nuts within the walls, and therefore it commonly happens that a planta- 

 tion or 07'chard is formed either in the slip, or in some spot adjoining the 

 kitchen-garden. This plantation should always be separated from the 

 culinary departments by some appropriate line of demarcation. This may 

 frequently be a dwarf wall, on which, if the aspect is suitable, young fruit- 

 trees may be trained for the purpose of removal, to fill up occasional blanks in 

 the principal walls. In the plan, fig. 830, in p. 419, the semichcular plot 

 at the south end of the garden might be separated from the walled garden by 

 a dwarf wall, at the same distance from the main wall as the side fences are 

 distant from the main side walls, and the space so walled-ofF would form a 

 very convenient area for the orchard ; provided it were suitable in all
