Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the .. session of the Legislature of the State of California . ^ trellises, arbors three illustrations we give here (Figures 103, 104, and 105) weretaken from walls of different heights, so as to demonstrate our methodmore clearly. In our trellises the iron wires are about one and three fifths or twoinches from the wall, and we train the vertical canes up between thewall and the wires. As is customary in Thomery, we outline the posi-tion of the cordons on the wall, or else we draw an exact plan which wekeep before us so as to follow it scrupulously in pruning and there are to be three rows of cordons on a wall (Fig. 103), thefirst vine on the left begins the lowest row of cordons, being trainedalong the bottom wire and extending as far as the fourth vine; thefourth vine extends along the same wire as far as the seventh vine,. Fio. 105, and so on, taking every third vine to form the bottom row of cordonsand leaving the intermediate ones for the upper rows. The seventhvine extends to the end of the wall, ascends to the next row, and goesback in the opposite direction to that taken by the lower row of cor-dons, until it meets the sixth vine; the latter, in its turn, extendsback to the third; the third comes to the end of the wall, ascends to 60 PRACTICAL MANUAL OP the next row, and follows along the wire until it meets the secondvine; the second and fifth comj^lete the espalier. If the wall allows for four rows of cordons, the principle is thesame. Figure 104 shows us a trellis formed under these No. 1 begins the lowest row of cordons, and extends to the fifthvine, leaving three intermediate vines to form cordons for the nextthree rows; vine No. 9 comes to the end of the wall, ascends to thesecond row and turns back, extending to vine No. 10, which goes onin the same direction until it meets N
