FIG. 18— COMPARISON OF GROWTH 

 These two apple trees are the same age — three years. The one on the left 

 is a seedling which grew in the open ground with no competition but that of the 

 grass; the one on the right is a graft sprout which grew in a close thicket, and 

 because of lack of light as well as its varietal nature and probubly stron^i root 

 power, has "pulled" toward the h'^ht. Note the difference in number of branches.
