The method, the time, and all the requisite details, I may venture to say, are laid down under the various heads, and the work may be, I believe, relied upon as a safe guide for the young gardener, as well as for some of the old ones too, and also for the amateur lady and gentleman gardener.

It will be seen that I have adopted the oblique double cordon, on what I think is a somewhat im proved plan, which will accommodate itself to a class of wall more often to be met with than that which is attached to the great mansion.

The oblique cordon, then, herein illustrated and especially treated of, is the thing for them. It will be seen that b adopting this useful and accommodating plan 0 growing Peaches, Nectarines, and Apricots much less judgment is needed in pruning - winter pruning - than is required in the fan-shape style and it is no doubt more under control. Moreover, a larger amount of fruit can be obtained from a given space.
