length fufficient to make a horizontal the 

 next winter. 



The fhort branch above D, was obtained 

 from the ftem the laft fumm.er, as alfo that at 

 C, on the other fide^ and as there was not an 

 opportunity to lay in a new horizontal of a 

 fufncient^length at E, I therefore left this 

 fhoot above D, to produce bearers, in order 

 to cover the naked part at E, F, where the 

 branches that bore the laft year are ta- 

 ken off from the horizontals; but the other 

 end has buds upon it, and was one of the 

 bearing flioots the laft fummer -, all the parts 

 above are cut and nailed by the fame rules, 

 as ought alfo the fide A to be. 



But if it happens, that there is not a fhoot 

 of a proper length near the ftem, to be laid 

 for a new horizontal, as that is above D; 

 then, inftead of taking the branches quite 

 away that bore the laft year upon E and F, 

 they ought only to be lliorten'd, about two 

 inches above the firft large bud at their low- 

 er end ; after that, nail them leaning as 

 much as they will bear without breaking ; 

 and all the fmall buds below muft be taken 

 off with a knife point, leaving upon each 

 fhoot one bud only, as at G, H, I ; when this 

 is done there is no need of one at K.
