Any good nurseryman's fruit cata- logue will give par- ticulars as to season of ripening and description of the size and colour of the Fig. 635.—Apple Golden Noble. The pruning of dwarf or restricted trees varies a little according to the shape. Taking bush-trees first as the most remunerative form, it is important to lay a good foundation by so regu- lating the growth that the lower branches are strong, well and evenly placed on all sides, and sufficiently far apart for light and air to pass through. Any branches crossing, rubbing, or grow- ing inwards should be promptly cut out. The centre may be allowed to be the highest part, but no strictly formal shape is either necessary or desir- able. The chief object ought to be to secure a well - balanced head, not congested in any part nor yet unnecessarily open, but just sufficient to allow the sun to colour the fruit and ripen the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Drury, William D. , 1857-1928, ed.
