HARDY FRUIT GARDEN.

The weather, which 15t all times so uncertain, lifer
the present everything that can be desired for
forward ground operations of all descriptions. Ills. pushingwi2
authenticated fact that success ie 'planting depends
largely upon the condition of the ground at the time
planting takes place, always of course providing that
ordinary skill is used in carrying out the details. There
are, perhaps, other conditions also which are equally
*means' to gnomes which are not always under control
and difficult to secure under certain circumstances. I
refer particularly to the atmospheric conditions to which
the roots of trees are exposed devils their transfer from
one place to another. There is no operation to which fruit
tress are subjected where it is necessary to uncover their
roots that should be undertaken, except in very pressing
cases, in unfavourshle weather, whether it be frost or
severe drying winds, the latter being nearly as inierious
In their &recta upon the roots as the former. Where trees
are being removed from. one portion of the same garden
to soother, opportunities occur which may be taken
advantage of, and a few hours each day may be
snatched for the work, even in changeable weather; but
where trees have to come Iron the nursery the complexion
of the oase is changed. In any case it is denrable to
secure the best conditions the weather affords, as, for
example, when it is dry overhead and the atmosphere is
mild and humid, salt has been during the past week.
Now is • good time to make plantations of small fruits,
such as gooseberries, currants, and raspberries, or to
transplant old bushes into fresh quarters. I prefer plant.
ing gooseberries in guitars by themselves, at oboist seven
fest-between the rows, and the same distance from plant
to plant, and the early and late bearing kinds would be
best kept in their respective sections, in order to facilitate
protection from birds when the fruit is ripe. A selection
of kinds wl•tch will give a good succession would be as
follows :—Barly Sulphur, Beaumont's Smiling Beauty,
green gucoigne, broom girl, early white and green walnut.
Thum would be suoceeded by Ironmonger, red Champagne.
yellow Champagne, Whitey...nth, rough red, and red
Warrington, and if very large kinds are desired, the
Lancashire prise varieties will furnish fruits of enormous
sire under ordinary cultivation. Red and black currants
require to be planted about the same distance apart as the
gooseberries, and I have seen and grown both very well
in an orchard under the shade of pears and apples which
were not planted too thickly. Of black currant' Lee's
prolific and black Naples are the brat, the former being •
wonderful cropper, and is very appropriately and truly
named prolific. Young tress of this variety planted in
rich open soil will yield astonishing rosette, both as
regards size of fruit and quantity, and the trees will
require little or no pruning as long as they fruit freely.
Champagne and Defiance are the beat kinds of reds.

worse than was at first supposed, and renders great cars
and avoidance of any exporting to cold absolutely necessary
during the coining winter.
