Fig. 14 
are between the old wood a and the blossom c, in the outer 
figure, except the lowest 8, are carefully removed by 
ebourgeonnement or disbudding. This never fails to pro- 
duce a shoot, 4, in the inner figure, the growth of which is 
favored by destroying the useless spray above the blossoms 
and pinching off the points of those which are necessary tc 
perfect the fruit. A replacing shoot is thus obtained, to 
which the whole is invariably shortened at the end of the 
year. The branch thus treated is called the branche de 
reserve. 
The form @ da Sieule is another modification of the Mon- 
trueil training, for an account of which we must again refer 
to the Horticultural Tour. This figure will give an idea
