. The parks, promenades, & gardens of Paris, described and considered in relation to the wants of our own cities, and the public and private gardens. Gardens; Parks. PYRAMIDAL TRAINING OF THE PEAR TREE. 379 the summit to the base such a tree ought to be garnished with nothing but branches well set with fruit spurs. •FlG- m- The greatest breadth of the pyramid should equal about one-third of its height. Pyramidal trees may be purchased in all stages; but trees ready- formed are costly, and as many would prefer training their own, and as those who plant on a large scale will find it economical to begin with trees a year from the graft, we will commence at the beginning with a " maiden tree," letting it grow one year in the ground before pruning it. Fig. 178 represents the first pruning of this young tree, and its ap- pearance one year after being permanently plant- ed, or two years from the graft. B shows the union of stock and scion; and the terminal bud A just below where the shoot is cut should be placed on the side oppo- site to that on which the scion was inserted, as shown in the figure, so that the stem of the tree may rest perpendicu- larly on its base. It is by attending to such little points.
