Appendix to the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the .. session of the Legislature of the State of California . n an adult cordon. Pinching the two principal top shoots at0, 0, has caused several fructiferous counter shoots to develop, whichhave yielded fruit; this operation has also strengthened the new woodon the cot cabaley. Pruning this arm is a very simple matter; it may be confined en-tirely to the cot cabaley, suppressing the old aste; the aste for this yearmay be formed from the cane c, situated on the old aste; this depends,though, on the vegetation of the vine in general. If all the arms ofthe vine are of about the same vigor, an aste of six buds will be lefton the cane c, a cot cabaley of three buds on one of the canes comingfrom the old c6t cahcdey and growing in the right direction, and a littlecot of one year on the small shoot a. If this arm was more vigorousthan the others established on the same cordon, there would be noneed of hesitating to cut back the old aste and leaving only one asteon one of the canes coming from the cot cabaley with a little cot oftwo eyes on the cane Fio. 78. Fio. 80. PRUNING AND TRAINING THE VINK. 45 Figure 79 shows the development of vegetation on the pruned arm(Fig. 77). The two upper shoots of the ade having hecn severelypinched at o, o, close to the last cluster of fruit, the sap has heendriven back, and the buds of the two small lower c6ts have developedwell. The vegetation of this arm, which, the preceding year, fell farshort of the mark (See Fig. 75), has been completely reestablished,by means of a moderate charge and by pinching the two ujjpershoots of the aste. By so doing, some of the vintage has been sacri-ficed ; but the subsequent vintages will make amends for thismomentary loss. In pruning this arm (Fig. 79), an ante of five or sixbuds, according to the vigor of the vine, is left on the cane c, and alittle cot cabaley of three or four buds on the cane h. The little canea has been pruned to one eye. T
