"Each one is cut back one-third its length, above a bud, in front, as at A, fig. 117. During the summer fol- lowing, the development of the terminal shoot is favored as much as possible, and all the others are transformed into fruit branches or spurs by the aid of these operations, recommended for the same purpose, in training the pear as a pyramid. In the spring following, each of these young trees presents the aspect of fig. 118. " The second pruning con- sists in applying to each of the lateral branches the care necessary to transform them into fruit-spurs, and to cut back one-third the new terminal shoot. The summer treatment will be like that of the preceding, " At the third pruning, the young stem should ordina- rily attain two-thirds its entire length, when it should be brought down to an angle of 45° with the surface of the ground; and the terminal shoot and laterals are subjected to the same operations as in previous seasons. If these trees had been brought down at first to an angle of 45°, it.
