Is l0catcd This may be accomplished
by learning and practicing the proper
/ methods of protection
Besides these protective Devices
sheltered places, where growth is re-
tarded IN spring may be taken advan
/ tage of IN order to hold back early
blooming plants.
The fact that trees can be grown as
dwarfs as well as standards will Ell
able one to utilize a space which had
previously been considered unsuited
for the development of a tree. It is
well known that in proportion to size
dwifrf trees are more fruitful than
standards and that they come into bear
ing sooner.
Dwarting is accomplished by bud
ding or grating robust growers on
slow growing stocks, and most tree
fruits lend themselves to this treat
ment. Standards mny be grown rs
bushes" or as pyramids thus max
ing it possible to grow them much
closer together. Pruning and training
used in combination have shown the
possibilities Of restricting plants to the
"espalier," Gordon" aud other styles
of training against walls.
Advantages of Grating.
Besides the advantage OF dwarfng.
grating may be turned to good ac
count to enable the owner of few trees
to increase his sorts beyond the limits
of the trees he possesses. BY grating,
the list of varieties can be increased
at will There are apple trees known
which bear as many as $50 varieties
Plants of various habits of growth
may be combined to the advantage of
the grower and with little or no dis
advantage to the plants. 70 illustrate
this. currants may be combined with
grapes, apples with currants or rasp
berries and grapes with strawberries
Certain well known systems of prun-
ing and training allow additional lib
critics to tho skillfu planter--Gs, for iu-
stance, the grapevine. which readily
lends itself to ar5or training. may be
utilized for screening tender or shade
loving plants. Strawberries adapt
themselves readily 10 such situations
If the shade is not allowed to become
too dense Among lowering plants
none will thrive better under such
conditions than panses and yiolets
aud among garden vegetables lettuce .
and radishes may be successfully I
grown under such Il canopy. rs they .
