space with uprights at 1 foot asunder, as shown in Fig. 36, V. It is a pleasing and 

 productive form for espaliers and walls. 



Upright Training. Pear trees may have one stem (Single Vertical Cordon, Fig. 13, 

 A, Bj C y D, page 23, Vol. II.), a stem to a height of 1 foot, then a head of two branches 

 (Double Vertical Cordon, Fig. 11, B, page 20, Vol. II.), or several branches equidistant 

 on each side of a stem about 1 foot in height, a quartette having four, and a sex- 

 tuple tree having six, branches. The latter form is shown in Fig. 11, C, D, page 20, 

 Vol. II., and details of training are given on pages 1921. Trees in the forms mentioned 

 are good for espaliers, trellises, or walls. 



Cordons. These may be Single Horizontal (Fig. 12, E K, page 22, Vol. II.), or

Double Horizontal (Fig. 12, /), but with an upright instead of an inclined stem. 

 Particulars for forming these admirable forms for edgings to garden paths are given 

 on pages 21 23, Vol. II. The Single Vertical Cordon is shown in Fig. 13, A Z>, and 

 details essential to its formation will be found on pages 23 25, Vol. II. A Double 

 Vertical Cordon has two branches (Fig. 11, B, page 20, Vol. II.) ; otherwise the forma- 

 tion is the same as that of the Single Cordon. Both are excellent shapes for walls or 

 espaliers. Diagonal Cordons are the most suitable forms for low walls or espaliers. 

 Single Diagonal Cordon training is represented in Fig. 14, G K^ and fully explained 

 on pages 25 and 26, Vol. II. Double Diagonal Cordon trees have two instead of one 

 leading branch, the principles being otherwise identical.
