. The American fruit culturist, containing directions for the propagation and culture of all fruits adapted to the United States. Fruit-culture. Pig. 305. Fig. 30s. Pig. 307. Pig. 30S. Showing Forms of Fig. 309- Straggling, similar to the next preceding, but with shoots more slender and curved, as Winter Nelis and Black Worces- ter pear (Fig. 309). Shoots are straight, as in the Early Harvest and Northern Spy apples; flexuous, or more or less deviating from a straight line, as in the Swaar and Roxbury Russet. This distinction is very apparent and uniform in young and very thrifty tree
. The American fruit culturist, containing directions for the propagation and culture of all fruits adapted to the United States. Fruit-culture. Pig. 305. Fig. 30s. Pig. 307. Pig. 30S. Showing Forms of Fig. 309- Straggling, similar to the next preceding, but with shoots more slender and curved, as Winter Nelis and Black Worces- ter pear (Fig. 309). Shoots are straight, as in the Early Harvest and Northern Spy apples; flexuous, or more or less deviating from a straight line, as in the Swaar and Roxbury Russet. This distinction is very apparent and uniform in young and very thrifty trees, but not in older ones of feeble growth. They are stout, as in the Red Astrachan; slender, as in the Jonathan apple and Winter Nelis pear. Trees with erect straight shoots when young, usually form more regular and compact heads in older trees; and those of a spreading habit, more irregular or drooping heads. Some trees which grow very rapidly when young, are small when of full size, examples of which are found in the Late Strawberry and Tallman Sweeting. Others at first grow more slowly, but ultimately become large, as the Esopus Spitzen- burgh. Some varieties, again, continue to increase rapidly.
