the plantations of trained 
trees were quite extensive, j|pi' JkIt; 
occupying plots of ground 
specially set apart for that 
purpose, and were highly in- i- m T tjE l 
terssting and instructive. «jrc Ww 
Almost every conceivable CT a ^nik ' "

and distinguished cultivators 
in France and Belgium. But -—

With the exception of the weU known stan¬ 
dard forms commonly seen in our own gardens 
and orchards, nearly all the elaborate methods 
of training so general in Europe have originated 
in eSorta to give shelter and warmth to such 
species and varieties of fmits as do not succeed 
vreU in open ground culture, owing to a cold or 
unsuitable climate. 
Pm Plant,—R hubarb or pie plant is “ played out ”

In front of these diagonal cordons, here and at 
Blllancourt, will be seen those low lateral apple 
cordons, trained on wireB, and boaring, on closely- 
stopped shoots, tho second season; wliich, for 
edglDga of borders, will soon become common every¬ 
where. Other crossed cordons of apples may be seen 
hero worthy of notice. The newest and the most 
modern school, founded by M. Grin, of Chartres, is, 
unfortunately, not represented here, save by imita¬ 
tors. Its influence on modern ideas Is, however, 
visible enough In the minute attention paid to the 
Close summer stopping of the Bhoots lu the growing 
season, which loaves little to he retrenched at tho 
winter regulation. Formerly, the reverse or this 
was the rule. It is, therefore, to he regretted that 
no specimen of At. Grin’s owu work is here shown. 
His extremely close style—bisecting the stlpulary 
leaves—can beet be judged by inspecting the trees 
themselves. Without committing themselves to this 
very close method, M. Grin’s adherents have obtained 
excellent results. With inodideationB rendered 
neaessary by the exigencies of our humid climate, 
the principles involved in this system are well calcu¬ 
lated to succeed, and will eventually (as they have 
already done in the chbc of orchard-house trees) 
supersede the older fashion of long pruning. 
Gbapb Cuttings may he made In the first part of 
winter and successfully preserved until planting time 
by tying In small bundles, placing them on their tops 
in the gronud, and covering with half a foot of earth, 
enough coarse manure to keep out the frost, and 
boards to keep out the wet. Uncover gradually in 
the spring as tho weather grows warm.
