FRUIT CAUDEN DISPLAYED. 30^ 



Or alfo, in Summer, when any trees are 

 contufedly crouded with young Ihoots of the 

 year, to ihade and darken the fruit, they may 

 be pruned in a thinning order, to open the 

 trees to admit the fun and air, to ripen the 

 fruit with a good flavour. 



Though feme pecpl?, rcg.irdlefs of thefe 

 trees, give tnem occafjonal pruning by clip- 

 ping them with g?.rden Ihears, cutting them 

 into clofe round heads ; hu: by this they grow 

 croudedly fuii of young wood every Summer,"' 

 &nd the fruit is always very fmall. 



If any are planted againlt walls, or in the 

 cfpalier order, train the branches in a regular 

 fanned expanfion, three or four to f.ve or fix 

 inches afunder. «Prttne them in Summer and 

 Winter from fuperiiuous and . fcre-right and 

 other irregular Cioots, leaving feme well- 

 placed in vacancies, or to fupply the place of 

 worn-out branches, afiil generally a leading 

 Ihoot to each principal branch, agreeable to 

 the method explained in pruning the ilandard 

 birfnes : and train the general branches modly 

 ?it their full length, as far as room of walling, 

 $£C. admits, and when advanced out of 

 bounds, may be cut down lefs or more, ac- 

 cording to the rules obferved in pruning the 

 ilandard buCies aforefaid ; and according as 

 any unfruitful branches and dead wood occur, 

 cut them out in the general pruning, and re- 

 tain young to fupply the vacancies. They 

 will thus produce early and large fruit.
