OF the season. which in turn usually
arise from canes of the previous year.
The interest of a fruit garden may
be greatly enhanced by growing there
In plants not adapted naturally to the
climatic region in which the garden
is located. This may be accomplished
by learning and practicng 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 en-
able one to utilize Il space which had
| previously been considered unSuited
for the development Of a tree. 1t Is
well known that in proportion to size
dwarf trees are more fruitful than
standards and that they come into bear
ing sooner.
! Dwurfing is accomplished by bud
ding or grating robust growers on
slow growing stocks. and most tree
fruits lend. themselves to this treat
! ment. Standards may be grown as
bushes" or as pyramids" thus max
I ing ii possible to grow them much
closer together. Pruning and training
used in combine ton have shown the
possibilities of restricting plants to the
'espalier." Gordon" and other styles
Of training against walls.
! Advantages Of Grating.
| Besides the advantage of dwarfing.
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. To illustrate
this. currants may be combined with
grapes, apples with currants or rasp-
berries and grapes with stra wherries.
Certain well known systems of prun-
ing and trimming allow additional lib
critics to the skillful planter-as. for in
stance. the grapevine. which readily
lends itself to arbor training. may be
utilized for screening tender or shade
loving plants. Strawberries adapt
themselves readily to such situa tons
II the shade is not allowed to become
too dense. Among Towering plants
none will thrive better under such
conditions than pansies and violets.
and among garden vegetables lettuce
and radishes may be successfully
grown under such a canopy, as they
will he out Of the way before dense
shade is formed by the grapes. As
parngus can be- successfully grown un-
der a shade Of this character.
