branch would then have more than it should be allowed to carry. 

 Down still lower, below where the wrapping is fastened on, are 

 several ''wood-buds.'' When the top is removed, these lower 

 wood-buds are forced into growth, and thus, if you desire, you 

 can hold your Peach tree down low, in bush form ; or you can 

 run the original "leader" up five or six feet from the ground, and 

 form a compact head by following the suggestions just given. 

 In cutting off one-half of the fruit-buds, as here shown, you will 

 have just as much fruit in weight, and the perfection and size of 

 it will command from fifty to one hundred per cent, more in 

 price. 



THE GRAPE-VINE. 



What a wonderful creature is this vine! Preached of and 

 sung of in all ages. How one would like to "make a little 

 speech" in its behalf! But it needs no introduction; it is here 

 and here to stay. The people want to know how to procure its 

 fruit. The camera will give you a few lessons ; you should then 

 increase your knowledge by reading and observation.
