Sometimes, when the vegetation is very vigorous, time is gained in the making of this form by pinching the central growth at eight inches or so above the highest pair of opposite branches. It then breaks again, and care is taken to secure two side shoots and one erect one. Thus, with care, and in good soil, two stages of branches may be secured in the same year, but this must not be attempted till the proper formation of the two lower Fig. 176.

The dotted lines in Fig. 175 will show the positions that have been successively occupied by the branch E, when in course of formation, and that it is by no means necessary to train a young branch from the beginning in the exact position it is required to take. In fact, this form is only to be well and easily perfected by allowing the young shoots to first grow and gather strength in an erect or oblique position. The branch E kept com- pany when young with the central branch, and was at B; then it was lowered to C, next year to D, and finally to its horizontal position. Some care is required to make the bend of the shoots equal and easily rounded. If the tree.
