There is nothing very peculiar in this form the first andsecond year of training (a, b), after being headed down ; but in the third year (c), thereversing of the lateral shoots (d), becomes a characteristic. 2151. Wavy or curvilinear training, Haywood considers as combining all the grandrequisites stated to be produced by the modes recommended by other writers on fruit-trees. The fjtems {Jig- 391. a) being two principal branches through which the sap will 391. flow in equal portions from the root, to the length of three feet, before it is permitted toform collaterals, the same effect will be produced as if the whole sap was to pass up asingle stem of a standard of six feet, which is justly observed by Bradley, to makefruit-branches in such plenty, that hardly any barren shoots are to be found uponthem. It also is conformable to the idea of Hales, that light, by freely enteringthe extended surfaces of leaves and flowers, contributes much to the ennobling thepruiciplcs of vegetables.
