era, as well as the Southern and Midland Counties. Those marked 
with a star will probably require rather warmer situations than the 
others. 
Apricots far North will require a South, South-east, or South¬ 
west Wall, particularly the Breda and Turkey. 
Figs in high situations, far North, will not produce advantageously 
without the aid of fire, or glass. The best for forcing are the Mar¬ 
seilles, Pregussata, and Blanche Figue; the other sorts will also 
produce pretty well, when forced, but are not to be depended upon 
like these three. 
The Gooseberries are selected chiefly for flavour, although 
some of them are of a very large size. 
The Grapes selected for Walls, Vineries and Stoves, are not to 
be understood as binding the cultivator, to plant them in no other 
situations. Those marked “ Wall ” will ripen well in the open air 
in a fine season, but may, if thought best, be planted in a Vinery 
where they will produce abundant crops. Those marked “Vinery” 
cannot be depended upon for producing crops in the open air, but 
need more heat than the last to bring them to perfection ; they may, 
if necessary, be planted in a Stove, where they will produce early and 
abundant crops. Those marked “ Stove” will not thrive properly 
in any but stove heat. 
In selecting the Melons, we have chiefly confined ourselves to 
the Persian Varieties, as from the thinness of their skins, and their 
peculiarly rich flavour, there is no comparison betwixt them and the 
old ones. 
Of the Plums, the marks attached to them are intended to show 
the situation they should occupy in the Garden, and the colours of 
the fruits. Std. is placed for Standard Tree, W. for Wall Tree; 
and when both these signs are attached to one name, they will do in 
either situation, b, for blue, y, for yellow, g, for green, and r, for 
red, alluding to the colour of the fruit. 
The Synonyms, or Provincial names, are attached to the Apples, 
Apricots, Figs, Nuts, Peaches, Nectarines and Currants, to obviate 
the difficulty in purchasing, as from the multitude of names attached 
to some of the sorts, it is no easy matter to distinguish them.
