CHAP. XLIX, 



Pruning of Apples upon Paradife-ftocks. 



AS apple-trees are fometimes planted 

 againft walls, and will bring their 

 fruit to perfe6ticn upon any afpe6l, I will 

 here give directions for pruning them. 

 Some kinds of apples, efpecially the non- 

 pareil, will fometimes bear a fmall num- 

 ber of fruit upon young wood, or fhoots of 

 the laft yearns produciion ^ but they gene- 

 rally bear moft upon ftuds proceeding from 

 branches of two, three, or four jears old, 

 in the very fame manner as pears, whofe 

 management has been largely treated of 



before. 



What has been faid concerning pears 

 upon quince-ftocks, as to their diftance 

 from one another, and the manner of prun- 

 ing and nailing them, and dreffing the 

 cankered parts, are the beft methods I can 

 give for apples, and therefore need not be 

 again repeated.
