. Gleanings from French gardens: comprising an account of such features of French horticulture as are most worthy of adoption in British gardens. Gardening; Gardens. a6o Horticultural Implements, Appliances, etc. of the very best quality, and such as if placed properly in its position is as permanent as it is useful, 200 lbs. avoirdupois may be obtained for less than 4Z., and 220 lbs. will extend a distance of 13,123 English feet. This size will also suit well for espaliers, though a size or two stronger had better be used for the tallest and strongest trellises. A size, or even several sizes smaller, will suffice for dwarf trellises with three rows of wire or so, to accommodate very dwarf trees of any shape the cultivator may desire. Since writing the above, I have been informed by Mr. J. B. Brown, of 90, Cannon-street, and 148, Upper Thames-street, , that he supplies the chief Parisian houses who furnish French fruit- growers with this useful galvanized wire, and therefore we may expect to procure it cheaper in England. Useful Trellising foe Young Trees in Nurseries, &c. —In some of the best fruit nurseries I noticed a simple and effective kind of trellising used for training young wall and espalier trees. It is useful in enabling the French to keep in. stock trees for these purposes to a greater age than is the case in our own nurseries, and for various purposes should prove useful to the grower of young fruit trees. I need not say that a larger and modified application of the same plan would do well.
