Contrast the Bartlett with the Flem- ish Beauty, the Kiefferwith the Seckel. In apples, compare the Baldwin with the Spy, the King witli the Twenty Ounce. The sweet and sour cherries show marked differences in method of branching. Fruit men can tell many varieties apart in win- ter : how? Two common hickor- ies are shown in Figs. 25 and 26. How do they differ? Do they differ in length of trunk? General method of branching ? Direction of branches? Character of twig growth? Straightness or crooked- ness of branches ? Contrast the slippery elm (Fig. 27) and the common or American elm (Fig. 34). The former has a crotchy or forked growth, and long, stiff wide-spreading branches. The latter is more vase-like in shape. The branches are wil- lowy and graceful, with a tendency- to weep. Compare the oaks. The white and scarlet oaks have short trunks when the}' grow in fields, and the main branches are com- paratively few and make bold angles and curves. The swamp white oak (Fig. 28), however, has a more continuous trunk, with many comparatively small, horizontal and tortuous branches. With Fig. 28 compare the pepperidge (Fig. 29). This is one. 28.
