TOP-WORKED TREES 269 after all the old top was removed, as shown inthe illnstration. It will now be necessary to cutoff some of the cions and to thin out the top,much as if the tree were recently planted. It is always essential that the operator look outfor adventitious growths or suckers from thestock, after the tree has been changed to the de-sired variety. The equilibrium of the tree hasbeen so much upset by the he^vy pruning thatthese watersprouts and auxiliary growths mayarise for several years. Fig. 194 is a Kilmarnockwillow. This is a weeping variety, which isgrafted upon a strong, upright-growing this case, the stock has thrown out long-suckers, and the drooping head is beginning tofamish and die.
