FRUITS 
As you walk about your garden, you will surely 
be able to find a place for a fruit tree or two, a 
strawberry patch, a row of bush fruits and a few 
grapevines. 
Where you have room, fruit trees can be planted 
to serve the purpose of producing fruit as well as 
providing shade cnd beauty throughout the growing 
season. 
In locating desirable places for fruits, it will not be 
necessary for you to dig up your lawn or in any 
way detract from the design of your outdoor living- 
room. Perhaps you have some flowering shrub that 
has out-grown its usefulness; here is just the spot to 
plant a fruit tree. Several kinds can be introduced 
as accents in wide perennial borders and in shrub 
plantings. Why not use them as a background for 
your vegetable or cutting garden? For decorative 
effects, shade-loving perennials or ground covers can 
be used to carpet the ground under them. 
In fair-sized gardens fruit walks can be started. It 
is not difficult to plant a double row of fruit trees with 
a grass walk between. A comfortable bench, a bird 
bath, or a figure can be used at one end of the walk 
to terminate the vista. The requirements for the vari- 
ous fruits are simple—full sun and well-drained soil 
—and fertilizers can always be added with little 
trouble. 
Many of the bush fruits lend themselves admir- 
ably to hedge use. A simple support of wooden posts 
and wires will help to keep them trim in appearance. 
Arbors, trellises and pergolas are ideal for grapes. 
Strawberries can be used as a wide edging for your 
perennial or annual border or your vegetables or 
herb garden.
