. The practical fruit, flower and vegetable gardener's companion, with calendar. Gardening. PEACH AND NECTARINE. 109 of the general arrangement of thp. tree. The two mother branches are laid in very obliquely, and are never shortened. On. the subordinate branches three buds only are left at the winter pruning, one terminal, and two at a considerable distance from each other ion jthei aides of the shoot. This method, probably, is not well adapted to our climate. Mr. Seymour's form, as described in vols. i. and ii. of the Gardener's Magazine, approaches more nearly to the French methods than any in this country. It will be seen, howevier, from the annexed figure, that he does not suppress the direct, channel of the sap. This cir- cumstance, although considerable stress seems to be laid up- on it, is not essential to the plan,Bor is, perhaps, the best part of it. The principal novelty is, ithat the bearing shoots are all on the upper sides of the mother branches, and that these bearing shoots are wholly reproduced onee a year. The one side of this .figure represents the tree after tho Fig. winter prunmg, the other side before it has undergone that operation. It will be observed that on this last side there are pairs of shoots on the upper parts of the mother branches. The lower shoot, that, namely, which has borne fruit, is cut out, and the other is brought down into.
