A PPLESTRA INING. 



of the wood and buds, we may calculate on some fruit from the unlifted and large tree 

 in the season following. 



Now turn to the other side, or left of the tree. In the two lower branches we have 

 the result of replanting, namely, lessened vigour, yet stout, short-jointed shoots, with 

 abundant rather small but thick leaves. Instead of the shoots extending the length of

those on the opposite side (w), or to the extent of the dotted lines (), they are short 

 as shown at 0, and terminated by a large oval bud with leaves clustered around it. 

 Lifting and replanting is followed by fruit spurs (l\ but should they elongate, it is 

 prevented by pinching as shown by the bars, by which process fruit buds will assuredly 

 be formed and perfected. One of these, on a spur of the previous year, has blossomed 

 and produced a fruit (i).
