The Book of the Peach : Being a Practical Handbook on the Cultivation of the Peach Under Glass and Out-Of-Doors (Classic Reprint). H W Ward
Excerpt from The Book of the Peach: Being a Practical Handbook on the Cultivation of the Peach Under Glass and Out-of-Doors
During the twenty-five years for which I presided over the Longford Castle gardens, Salisbury, I was a pretty regular and successful exhibitor of collections and single dishes of choice hothouse and wall fruits at the annual summer and autumn shows held at the Crystal Palace and leading provincial towns, and the peaches and nectarines in the Longford collections always excited favourable comments on the part of experts.
I also grew peaches and nectarines very extensively on a goodly portion of the 1700 yards of brick walls, from nine to twelve feet high, which were available for the growth of choice stone fruit and pears, the gardens being enclosed and intersected with walls to such an extent as to divide the kitchen garden into several sections, thereby affording a variety of aspects for growing certain kinds of fruit trees.
