or if doubtful of any value. A tree to bear the 
Bnesl fruit, takes no more room than one 
which bears a orobora wild plum, and there- 
fore there is no excuse for allowing an inferior 
BUbjeCl to OCCUpy a situation that might be 
better filled. Of the following fruits, there 
are none of even a secondary quality; they 
are, for the purposes of a family, all that can 
be wished, and such as we would not be 
without, if we could procure them, and make 
room for them. 
Pbab8< — Louis Bon, Beurre Rouge, Brown 
Beurre, Jargonelle, Green Chissle, Berga- 
mot (summer). Pas C'olmar, Maria Louise, 
Williams' Bon Chretien, CharmonteL Ganscl's, 
Bergamot, Van Mons' Leon Lc Clerc, Lan- 
Bac, Golden Beurre, Swan's Egg and Crass- 
anne. Many of these have half-a-score names, 
but all of them are well understood by the above. 
APPLES. — Franklin's Golden Pippin, 
Fearn's Pippin, Kerry Pippin, Alexander, 
Blenheim Orange, Ribstone Pippin, Nonpa- 
reil, Hawthornden, Royal Russett, Scarlet 
Nonpareil, Golden Harvey, Norfolk Beaufin, 
June-eating, French Crab, Court of Wick. 
Many others are recommended, but these 
should be had first. 
PLUMS. — Greengage, Cant's late Greengage, 
Purple Morocco, Orleans, Chapman's Prince 
of Wales, Washington, Imperatrice, Magnum 
Bonum, Wine Sour, and Goliah ; but Chap- 
man's almost supersedes the Wine Sour as a 
preserving fruit, and Goliah as a dessert fruit. 
CnEKKiES. — May Duke, Kentish, Bigga- 
reau, Late Duke, Black Eagle, Florence, 
Morello, and Circassian. 
Goosebeeries. — Warrington, Wilmot's 
Early Red, Greengage, Champagne, White- 
smith, Golden Drop, Royal George, and 
White Dutch. All for flavour only, not size. 
Peaches. — Early Avant, Early Newington, 
Red Magdalen, Royal George, Noblesse, and 
Old Newington. 
Nectarines. — Elruge, Red Magdalen, 
Fanehild's Early, Temple's, Late Newington, 
and Red Roman. 
Grapes for out of door culture. — 
Black Hamburg, Miller's Burgundy, Black 
Frontignac, Grizzly ditto, White Frontignac, 
White Muscadine, Esperione. Inferior to 
these for out of doors, but next in quality, are 
Black Prince, Black Muscadine, Claret Grape, 
Malmsey Muscadine, and W r hite Sweetwater. 
Strawberries. — Kean's Seedling, Elton 
Pine, Myatt's Piue, Queen Victoria, Swain- 
stone's Early, and Alice Maude. 
Raspberries. — Large Red Antwerp, Large 
White, Double-bearing, Large Yellow Ant- 
werp, and Filby, afterwards sent out as a new

Currants. — Large Red and Large New 
White Dutch. 
Select all these, or such of them as you 
have not got, at the nursery, ready to be 
removed when you want them ; for it is no 
use driving off the choice of your trees till the 
ground is ready. The principal art of planting 
trees and bushes is to take care there is plenty 
of depth for them, in good loamy soil ; and if 
not, to prepare, before planting time, for their 
reception, by digging out holes, and removing 
the bad stufi to make room for good. But of 
this we shall say more next month. If you 
have any fruit border in which the trees are 
in bad health, examine it by digging down to 
the roots, removing the heavy wet stuff, and 
putting in good rotten turf ; run a good drain 
all along the front edge of the border next 
the foot path, for that is essential. When 
these are old and sickly trees, cut out all but 
the most healthy wood, and prepare the space 
between the trees for the reception of the 
younger and better kinds. 
Dig between Currant and Gooseberry 
bushes, and well clean the ground ; and, if the 
leaf has fallen, you may begin pruning ; but it 
is better to let the month go over, perhaps, 
than to begin now. 
Cuttings of Gooseberry and Currant 
Trees may be taken off for propagation six 
inches long, and inserted four inches into the 
ground in a shady border. They must be 
cuttings of the present year's growth. 
Strawberry Beds require to have all their 
runners and large yellow leaves cut off, and 
they should be dug in between the rows. 
There is no better dressing for any thing than 
the waste of its own growth. New beds or 
plantations may be made, but they ought not 
to have been delayed so long. A season is 
lost by the delay ; for early runners, planted 
out in good time, will very often bear better 
the first year than afterwards. The runners 
should be a foot apart in the rows, and the 
rows two feet. 
Raspberry Canes may be pruned, and, if 
the leaves are off, they may be removed, and 
planted also. There ought not to be more 
than three or four canes left standing at each 
stool, and these should be shortened down to 
four feet. Digging between the rows is good 
for them, whether they are pruned or not. 
We treat the next month, rather than the pre- 
sent, as the great operating period for fruit 
trees, and there is no reason for hastening the 
planting before the next month. 
Look carefully in last month's operations, 
and do anything that has been neglected.
