Respecting fruit trees the principal ones
with most persons, will be the apple and

will permit, ehouldte set in the poorer Soil,
leaving the hest for the gear. I should
Plant them about ten feet from the bank and
side boundaries, and about twenty-five feet
apart, leaving the front line to something
more ornamental. They should be set, also,
n the more central portions of the lot. The
borders of some of the intersecting Ntt !!
might he devoted exclushely tt,
_petit bees
where the soil is sufficiently strong. Fifteen
feet apart would answer for toe standards,
and eight or ton for the dwarfs, the latter of
which necup,ling the richest soil. Peach
trees might be interspersed among the iipple
trees. Plum thins lal Id reject n 4 vilm•
berers of the earth. Five or six cherry
trees, mist of them the later sorts, would
be desirable, and the front portion of the
lot would be the hest place for them.
A new method of amtufeMent has been a.

Setting a garden, to one who hue nn in
terest in such kind of work, is a very agree
able piece of work. Of course, it will firot
be done perfectly ; perhaps not quite satis
factorily to the one who:lu o ir plane the
work- Very row gardens lit and orna
mental trees ace set that re not destined to
some change of arinegenient, or to some
modification of fruit by the salvo owner.
Frequently, when a rue iv parson camett in to
dictate, his Improvements full little short of
vandalism . . I have known men who---hav
ing little method themselves—hale employ
ed different gardeners, from year to year,
In "do what was necessary," and have land
their rtirdent as many times rooted op and
reset! fiurh things, it is to by hoped, are
nut common ; but to avoid them, every owner
of us garden should Idol-141f know something
about try matter, and be able to assign a
reason for putting vs cry tree where it wee
put.
Twelve yearn ago I knew nothing of hor
lienhurarleuirierhttaMgyrtnt-rifinntlfifonit
five mils from Boehm, o itli a view of build
ing upon, I began to road upon the subject,
and since then a gond portion of my leisure
time has been devoted to it, and with health
ful Measure. I endeavored to get the very
he. t surto(' fruit t Oise% and the most depirnble
ornamental, and gave them, a. hest I could,
fit positiops in the lot. Nu tree was set
simply because there wan room for it, but
because it might do well and look well
there. . -
TT iliere to any 4 advantage in one position
for a site for a garden over all others, it in
generally a matter which one cannot well
avail himself of, ea controlling circumstances
usually prevent any one from a free choice.
It should not, however, be overlooked. Much
depends upon geographical position. A cer
tain aspect in the New England States, near
the enact, would not be desiaable, nn the
raw east winds of the Spring and early
Rummer months arc known to he hurtful to
the fruit buds—particularly to those of the
peach, though to the quince and plum rather
beneficial. Every pwition may hese Annie
odv ening° over the others ; but, perhaps,
generally speaking, the southwestern aspect
in •operior, and, for the raising of fruit,
with a moderate &emission.
For beauty, an undulating sorface or an
irregularly shaped lid, or one combining
boili chars, tensile', IR prelerul le. It oil]
give greater advantage for the display of
ornamental trees and shrubbery. and hence
more picturesqueness. In an . nere lot the
house should be set five or six rods from tlw
street, and generally nearer to one nude of
tha boundary than the other. This will
give a good opportur.ity for a handsome
drive-way or approch to be dressed with Nees
and shrubbery, and a portion for a stable if
needed. In laying walks or avenues, straight
lines should generally be avoided, partion•
prly the ornamental portion. It is a
good plan, however, to run it walk around
the lot, four or five feet from the boundary,
when not conflicting with the ornamentLl
arrung,ementn in front, for the pimp me of
accent; to the trees with a wheelbarrow, of
otherwise. And then coma right-angled
intersecting paths are iinportant, with trees
in a straight line, for the purpose of access
and tillagelii the plow or cultivator. But
these mattarPmust in a measure be control
led by the surface of the lot.
