. Cassell's popular gardening. Gardening. Fig. 26.—Pyramidal Tree in a finished state,. Fig. 27.—Vase-shaped Tin distributors in the centre of fountains, that return the waters in semi-spherical lines or unbroken sheets into the central basin. The effect of the weeping centre may be enhanced, and the analogy to the vase or fountain be made more exact, if the base branches are wound round the top of the base so soon as sufficient height has been reached, thus forming a fruitful rim of beauty to the vase, as in the spiral cordon. Fig. 22. Those who wish to imitate the vase more closely at the base may raise it on a stem or pedestal of any height, then form the vase pure and simple, or add any other combination to it that they may think desirable. The vase pure and simple is however, as a rule, a dwarf tree with an open centre, as shown in the making, not the finished state, in Fig. 27. The open centre has con- siderable cultural advan- tages as well as artistic merits. It may also be formed in various w^ays— as, for example, by upright branches at equal distances, for laying the basis of which see Fig. 27, or by wind- ing cordons round and round lines of stakes, and so forming a vase with cir- cular branches as in the spiral cordon. Fig. 22. Even this mode of forming an Apple-tree into a vase may be improved upon by planting two cordons, or training a dual cordon, and starting the two leaders in opposite directions, this resulting in a vase with diamonds at sides as in the diamond cordon, Fig. 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 Fish, David Taylor, 1824-1901; Fish, D.
