PICTORIAL PRACTICE.—PLAIN HINTS IN FEW WORDS. 
FIG. 26.—PRUNING WILLIAM ALLEN RICHARDSON FOR WALL OR 
TRELLIS. 
A, aone year old plant : a, leading growth; 4, side growths; c¢, point 
of shortening to originate vigorous shoots from the base. 
B, a two years old plant with three strong shoots: d@, points of 
shertening the shoots to induce vigorous growths for covering 
the wall or trellis, if there is plenty of space all ways; e, points 
of shortening the shoots for forming an erect growing plant if 
there is more space upwards than sidewise. 
C, a plant which has resulted from shortening the vigorous shoots 
B to d: f, leading growth; g, side shoots; 4, growths not 
allowed to extend beyond five or six joints, unless they are 
flowering shoots, they being pinched and laterals stopped to one 
or two joints ; 7, point of shortening the leading growth; /, points 
of shortening the side shoots, only the immature points in both 
cases being removed; #, branch bent down to cause the buds on 
young wood to break evenly, applicable to all young shoots. 
D, plant C a year older: 7, continuation growth from stem; m, con- 
tinuation growths of side branches; ”, side shoots from previous 
year’s shoots which flowered, or were not allowed to extend 
beyond five or six joints; 0, two years old side growths, called 
spurs. Pruning is confined to shortening the leading shoot of 
the stem and the continuation growths of the side branches to 
firm, thoroughly ripened wood, indicated by the cross lines ; », 
growths that may be allowed to extend for filling bare space. 
E, an upright trained plant (B e a year older): g, continuation 
growths; 1, side shoots; s, points of shortening the leading 
growths; ¢, points of pruning the side shoots. 
F, an upright trained plant (Ea year older): w, continuation shoots 
from branches: v, one year old side shoots; w, two years old side 
branches or spurs; the pruning being indicated by cross lines.
