PEAR TREES EOR "WALLS. 29 



these metbods of training pears to walls ; and I know 

 of nothing in fruit cnltura more interesting than a 

 wall of upright espaliers, or of pyramids full of fruit. 

 Let us only consider that a wall 100, feet long wiU ac- 

 commodate four trees on the pear stock, trained ia the 

 usual horizontal mode ; the same wall will give " am- 

 ple room and verge enough " to twenty trees on the 

 quince stock, trained perpendicularly ; if their young 

 shoots (all but the leaders) are pinched in to three 

 leaves all the summer, no root-pruning will be needed. 

 They are also invaluable for planting against walls 

 between old trees where there are bare spaces, as is 

 so often the case ; for they soon fill up such vacancies, 

 and bear abundance of fine fruit. A selection of va- 

 rieties for wall trees will not here be out of place.
