Economical plan of growing j^pples, 
order to bring them on slowly; and afterwards, the heat could be regu¬ 
lated at discretion. Pots of strawberries, peaches, or vines, might be 
introduced, for either early or late forcing. 
When the early crop of grapes was ripened otf and gathered, the lights 
might be removed, and put to some other purpose, until wanted for the 
peaches in autumn,—or if the vines on the rafters were taken out, as I 
before observed, a succession of vines, in pots, might be introduced, at 
any season. However, I would recommend the lights to be removed, 
and the panels to be placed on the north side of the peach-trees; and so 
let the house remain thus exposed, until the peach-trees again require 
protection. 
The following, are the sorts I would recommend ;—of Grapes, the 
Black and White Muscadine, Black Hamburgh, Black Prince, Harris 
son's Black, Black wad White Frontignac, Parsley Leaved, wad White 
Sweet-Water; of Peaches, the Galande, Late Admirable, Teton de 
Venus, and Catharine Peach; and of Nectarines, the Brugnion, Ver- 
mash, and Late Newington.

Ar'I’IC LE an Economical Plan of Groivhuj Apples, 
and other Fralt. A PoMOLOGTST. 
Gentlemen, 
I HAVE seen what appears to me a very economical plan of 
grovving Apples, or indeed any other kind of fruit, in a kitchen-garden, 
a description of which I send you, and if you think it worthy of insertion 
in your Register, it is entirely at your service. 
The trees are planted on the edges of the walk, dwarfs and standards 
alternately, and trained horizontally, by means of arbour-poles, so as to 
form an arbour, which would be as pleasant in hot weather, in a kitchen 
garden, as an arbour of flowers would be in a pleasure garden; and if 
the walk should be wanted for wheeling dung, &c. to the borders, open¬ 
ings might be left for that purpose. The arbour-poles would last as long 
as the trees would require support, for after the arbour is formed, the 
trees will support themselves, the young shoots being tied to the old 
stems, to keep the whole covered with good wood. If this plan was 
more adopted, and fruit-trees planted after this manner in orchards, the 
vegetables and small-growing fruits, would have a more free air, and 
consequently be larger and better, than in the present way of growing 
them. In many enclosed gardens in England, the south side of these 
arbours, might be made up of peaches and apricots.
