In training such trees an imaginary circular line 

 duced on the 

 wall or trellis, 

 and this is divid- 

 ed off into parts, 

 corresponding to 

 the degrees of a 

 circle, commenc- 

 ing at the center 

 above, and num- 

 bering both way s 

 to the base: this 

 enables the per- 

 sons who conduct 

 the tree to lay in 

 the branches on 

 both sides at an 

 equal angle with 

 precision, which 

 is quite requisite 

 to maintain uni- 

 formity of 

 growth and vig- 

 or. It has been 

 considered neces- 

 sary to treat this 

 subject some- 

 what minutely, 

 for the purpose 

 of giving to per- 

 sons wholly un- 

 accpiainted with 

 training, some 

 knowledge of the 

 principles on which it depends, and the mode 

 execution.
