Without proper care they will be liable to suffer from bearing too much, or from the growth of young wood on the ex- tremities of youne' branches. To diminish the growth, and favor the fruit branches, the young shoots must be pruned shorter than before, in order to turn the sap more to the ben- efit of the fruits, and when the fruit-spurs become too numer- ous, so as to be too near one another, and produce more fruit than the tree can sustain with safety, a portion of them must be pruned off.

The lower parts always experience this difficulty first, the sap circulating more slowly there than in the summit. Fruit - spurs of the pear and apple, if well managed, con- tinue in a vigorous bearing state for a great many years. To renew and prolong their vigor, the older paits must, from time to time, be cut away, and new productions created at their base to take their Fig. 113.—I'YKAMl TKAININCi 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 Barry, Patrick, 1816-1890.
