. Barry's Fruit garden. Fruit-culture. BRANCHES. on the apple and pear, there are different forms of ihe fruit-branch. In the first place the fruit-spur (fig. 13), a group of buds like a boucpxet; these are little stunted branches on the older wood that have assumed this form. The most imuortant fruit- branchus of these trees are the vigorous shoots of last season's growth, containing both fruit- and wood-buds (fig. 14), and the slender fruit- branches, beaiing all single fruit-buds, except a wood-bud or two at the base. Fig. 15, represents such a branch of the peach, A and B being wood-buds.

Fig. 15, represents such a branch of the peach, A and B being wood-buds. The fiuit - branches of the plum and cherry, and the gooseberry and cur- rant are similarly pro- duced. A yearling shoot for instance, the second season, will produce a shoot from its terminal bud, and probably shoots from two or three other buds immediately below the terminal, whilst those lower down will be transformed into fruit-buds, and produce fruit the third season. Fig. 16 is a branch of the cherry. A is the two-year-old wood ; jB, one year; C and Z>, fruit-spurs on the two-year-old wood, with a wood-bud usually at the point. Fig. 17 is a fruit spur from the older wood ; A, the wood- bud at its point. Fig. 18 is a branch of the plum ; A, the two-year-old wood ; B, one year.

Fig. 14, mixed wood and fruit-branches of the peach ; B, C, D, E, fruit-buds; F, G, II, leaf-buds ; J, double buds; C, triple buds, the two side buds being fruit- buds, and the center one, a leaf-bud. 3*.
