Second Group: Trellised Vines.—Vines trained on trellises are 
pruned either with short spurs along permanent arms, or with long 
fruiting rods. In France, vines trained on wires, with an arm on 
each side of the stem, are said to be trained espalier fashion, in 
contradistinction to those trained cordon fashion, with one main arin 
only bent on one side of the stem. 
The adjoining figure represents the Guyot cordon and the 
double Guyot, or Bordeaux Espalier, is represented below. They 
are limited to those vines which have their fertile buds away from 
the base of the canes, or those whose basal buds are not regularly 
fertile. 
Guyot Cordon before pruning. 
The Guyot cordon consists of a long fruiting cane (ce), about 
three or four feet long, and a short wood spur (s) cut back to two 
buds, which is intended to provide the wood necessary for the 
subseqtient season's pruning. 
When that time comes the eane (c) is cut clean off, one of the 
canes shooting from s is tied down in its stead, and another cane 
from s likewise is cut back to two good eyes—the axillary buds not 
being counted.
