Product Information

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Espaliers, pyramids and wall trees are difficult to protect, but mats two or three thick can be piled on the ridge with great facility, and loose straw or hay, the best protectors possible from frost, can be strewed over them thickly.

The cordon peach-trees have produced fruit large and of the finest flavour. Strawberries planted between the trees temporarily till they fully occupy the room under the ridge, ripened a fortnight earlier than those in the open air, and were of excellent quality. I have, therefore, hesitation in recommending this mode of fruit culture to all...
