76 CORDON TRAINING. 



Early Black, extremely well grown, because the 

 branches, with the addition of a guiding rod, will 

 grow as straight as pipe sticks, and look magni- 

 ficent. Pyramidal bushes in pots are very hand- 

 some. As soon as four leaves appear on the 

 shoots, pinch in to three, and favour the develop- 

 ment of the base, but not so as to exceed the 

 diameter of the pot.
