ARTICLE I.— ON TRAINING PEACHES AND NECTARINES. 
BY HENRY DYSON. 
Sub-Gardener at Womersley Park, near Ponttfract. 
For several months past I have fostered the intention of laying be- 
fore your readers a paper on the subject of training peach and nec- 
tarine trees, which intention has, in a great measure been rendered 
nugatory by the ample and able disquisitions on the same subject, 
which have already appeared in the preceding numbers of the Hor- 
ticultural Register, from the respective pens of Messrs. HaiTison and 
Mearns. The elaborate remarks of these gentlemen I have perused 
with pleasure and instruction. I should not have presumed to add 
any observations of my own, had I not been impressed with the posi- 
tive conviction that Mr. Harrison was labouring under a misconcep- 
tion of the nature, utility and beauty of Mr. Seymour's system of 
training ; such being the precise state of the case according to my 
comprehension, it is my intention to give a brief, and simple state- 
ment of the routine treatment of such trees, as practised at this 
place.
