Gardener's Magazine and Register of Rural and Domestic Improvement (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Gardener's Magazine and Register of Rural and Domestic Improvement

There are few things relating to kitchen-gardening in which there is greater room for improvement than in the selection of fruit-trees. A number of the fruits grown in almost every garden are of very inferior flavour, arising from the sorts originally selected either not having been good, or from the plants supplied not having proved true to their names. A great many excellent sorts of hardy fruits have been originated or imported, within the last twenty years. Few of these sorts are generally known in the country, and, conse uently, are seldom enquired for, either for the purpose of planting new rdens, or of improving such as are already established. He-idea is, indeed, too general, that when once a garden is planted it is completed; but a gardener, anxious to make the most of his garden, will be continually introducing new and better sorts of the articles which he cultivates, and eradicating such as are of inferior quality to make room for those of a superior description.
