Fig. 5. Outgrowth of laterals formed during last 

 year (about one inch of growth) due to strong mite 

 check to terminal. In the current year growth has 

 continued from these strengthened buds and shows 

 a reverted type of foliage. 



Fig. G. Type of reverted growth at Long Ashton. 

 Three years' growth on "French." Two year old 

 wood bears fruit that has "run off." Forced lateral 

 growth occurs each year either just below the then 

 terminal or from wood buds low down on the year's 

 erowth. 



Fig. 7. Shoot from Long Ashton photographed in 

 September showing old terminal big bud (whitened 

 to show up). In this case nearly all the buds below 

 the terminal being mited only three shoots grew as 

 shown in the figure The leaves are reverted in type. 



Fig. S. Shoot from Long Ashton photograi^hed in
