^o6 A TREATISE OF 



young branches muft be treated In the fame 

 manner as direfted in Fig. 7. and all 

 flumps muft be taken away from the old 

 branches, that would put out leaves too 

 near the young ones. 



But whilft thefe new branches are pre- 

 paring in the middle of the tree, care Ihould 

 be taken to produce fruit upon the extre- 

 mities of the old ones, but they muft be 

 cut quite away as the new branches be- 

 come capable of covering the wall. 



When vines cover a greater fpace than 

 reprefented by Fig. 7. they require different 

 management, according to their height and 

 diftance from one another. Such as are 

 low may have branches laid to make roots 

 about eight feet afander, in order to carry 

 up fteras from thence to the top 5 but fome 

 vines are caufed to cover a great quantity 

 of wall, and have no young branches with- 

 in eight or ten feet of the ground -, in fuch 

 cafes, there is no opportunity to make new 

 roots ; then new ftems muft be carried up 

 from the loweft horizontals at the diftance 

 of fix feet from each other, and ordered 

 like thofe raifed from the ground.
