APPLES. 123 



From the centre branch, all the three branches must 

 be cut back to two or three eyes, and a single shoot 

 trained from each : the year following proceed as directed 

 at first : this will cause a delay in forming the tree. 



After this, the horizontal shoots must be trained at 

 length, shortening the supernumerary ones so as to form 

 natural spurs, as directed for the open dwarfs : the 

 spurs, also, must be treated in the same manner. 



In training the espalier, it will of course have been 

 found necessary, after the second year, to increase 

 the number, as well as the size, of the stakes : they 

 should be clean and straight, regularly placed, and 

 supplied to the extent required by the tree. 



If the large-fruited kitchen apples, upon crab- 

 stocks, are intended to be grown as espaliers, the 

 branches should be trained at twelve inches distance 

 from each other, instead of nine.
