With ' King of the Pippins ' on Crab, the growth of the pruned 

 trees in the first year was considerably greater than that of the un- 

 pruned, but in the second year the balance was on the other side, and 

 in the third the amount of growth in the two sets was about equal.

' Mr. Gladstone ' on Crab stock gave about 40 per cent, more growth 

 among the pruned than among the unpruned trees in the first year, 

 slightly more in the second, but the two sets were about equal in 

 growth in the third year. It is perhaps to be expected that this 

 variety would diff er somewhat from the others in its results, on account 

 of its great tendency to form fruit buds at the tips of the long 

 shoots.
