associating with Standard Gooseberries. Stock limited, 2/6 and 3/6 each. 
BUSHES FOR WALLS. 
Strong Bushes, cut flat suitable for training on walls, can be supplied at 
6/- per doz. 
FIGS. 
Figs will grow in almost any soil, but if it be too rich, they produce a 
great deal of wood and very little fruit. Exuberance of growth is one ot 
their chief characteristics. This can best be restrained by limiting their 
rooting area and making the soil firm. They require a considerable amoun t 
of moisture when the fruit is swelling. Good drainage is essential, chalk 
being one of the best things to use for this purpose, where it can be pro- 
cured, and failing this, brick rubbish. In all cases lime ought to enter into 
the composition of the soil or compost in which they are grown. When 
grown against walls, they should be trained horizontally ; this checks 
luxuriant growth and assists the wood to ripen, as unless the wood is 
thoroughly ripened they will not bear fruit. The knife, as a rule, should 
be used very sparingly on the ripened wood, though exhausted or useless 
branches should be removed as soou after the fall of the leaf as possible. 
They may be grown out of doors in gardens near the sea, in warm localities, 
and under favourable conditions, on a South wall. “Brown Tuikey, 
“White Marseilles,” and “White Ischia,” are best for out-door cultiva- 
tion, the remainder are most suitable for pot culture or planting out under 
glass.
