CLIBRANS’ LIST OF FRUITS, 1908 - 9 .

Pears — continued. 
height of the training structure as quickly as possible and side shoots weak 
so as so produce fruit spurs. If the leading shoot is cut back it will cause 
the side shoots to break away into strong growth. Pinch off side shoots not 
having any fruit spurs, early in the season or say after about 6 or 8 leaves 
have been made, back to 3 or 4 eyes from the main stem and repeat again 
in the Autumn to about 2 eyes of last pruning. After several primings 
numerous spurs will be formed, especially on the strongergrowing varieties, 
which will be unsightly and smother the fruit with too much foliage, cut 
them back to within 2 or 3 eyes of the main stem ; do this at periods, not all 
at the same season. A few Pears form fruit buds at extremities of shoots ; 
do not Summer prune these. 
ESPALIER TRAINED TREES are very suitable for gardens 
of limited size, as they do not take up much space, and for fruit border 
back grounds are very suitable. As a rule, when the trees have got fairly 
established, they give a good return without a great deal of attention.
