IF the new headed tree produces only 

 two (hoots, they muft be nailed a little Hop- 

 ing to the right and left. If the tree with 

 two fhoots is ftrong, at the pruning feafon 

 cut them to fix or eight eyes, three or four

 them the following feafon ; but if they are 

 weak, cut them to four eyes : there mould 

 be no more than two fhoots from each 

 allowed to grow. The only way to 

 ftrengthen a weak tree is to lay in little 

 wood, the branches then will make ftrong 

 ihoots. T ne reafon that fo few proper 

 branches can be laid in from moots cut to 

 fix, ieven, and eight eyes is, that fome of 

 the buds are fore-right, and fome clofe to 

 the wall.; neither of which can be trained 

 with any propriety.
