Where a large vacancy occurs- between the branches, then a side-graft, in the manner illustrated at p. 128, should be inserted to fill up the space. They should again be cut at a, and the fourth year will present the appearance of fig. 10. It will then most likely begin to throw out fruiting-spure: these should be carefully encouraged, for on the num- ber of spurs which a branch exhibits does it depend, whether the tree is to bear a good show of fruit or not. 518. The tiers of branches, as they advance in height, should be regulated so that every side is furnished with an equal number of branches. In the autumn of the year the tree will resemble fig. 11. The pruning is now confined to shortening the lead- ing shoots and the laterals where the lines cross (fig. 11) the branches. The spm-s should be carefully examined, and if any of them get long and branching, prune them in, as described and illustrated in fig. 6. If any of them promise to be unfruit- ful, follow the method described in figs. 7 and 8. 519. The fifth year - the tree, continuing its progressive growth, \ \ X \%Shrf ig i P^^sents the appear- ance of fig. 12. It is now a tree of consi- derable size, and re- quires, besides the re- gular annual pruning of the leading shoots and spurs, that the _ lateral branches Fig. 11. should be cut in a line 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 Beeton, Samuel Orchart, 1831-1877; Shaw, Henry ; from the library of and initials?.
