in his planting ; and Fig. 23 shows how a span-roof house may 
be utilised to the best advantage. Plants turned out of pots 
may be planted at almost any period of the year. If planted 
in the autumn, when leafless, they may be shortened (see D &, 
D, a one-stemmed plant at the first 
pruning: k, the point of shorten- 
ing to induce vigorous growths to 
push in the following spring for 
forming the basal rods; J, the 
upper part of the plant, which in 
the previous season was allowed to 
make all the growth possible; m, 
the wall front of a lean-to, or the 
side of a span-roofed house ; n, the 
hot water pipes; 0, the wall plate ; 
p, the light; g, the eave of the 
house.

planting: 7, the stem, from which 
all the growths have been re-

promising ; s, vigorous shoots 
which are allowed to make all the 
growth possible during the sum-

and left of the stem (as shown) 
so as to have them 2 feet apart 
when taken upright; ¢, the point 
of the wall plate; u, the position 
of the eave; v, the point of 
shortening the growths at the 
winter pruning.
