jiorary precaution against the effect of boisterous winds. During 
the summer months at repeated intervals, we proceed to reinove every 
superfluous hranch, or shoot which may have pushed frolii uriS^^'- 
neatli, or in front of the main branches of the tree ; cither by' piii'ch- 
ing off" or disbudding, as circumstances may appear to require.' ' On 
these occasions every super-a'buridanV 'and deformed frtiit,'dr'i^ti'\^ ftlat

^: B}^ adopting this system, and carefully attending to 'thd^^tilple 
rules enumerated, notwithstanding the variable climate of the north 
.of England, I will venture to prognosticate that any gardener may 
, safely calculate on the certain assurance of a plentiful croj) of pea<i}i- 
es and nectarines, and those also of a superior size aiid quality, "io 
any that can be produced on the old fan system. " '" " ' " '' " 
r^^(^ behold these trees in spring, when ihe leaves .are 'm embryo, 
not a nail or shred visible, every branch occupying its appointed 
place with mathematical precision, and every lateral shoot adorned 
rvvith its beautiful crimson blossoms ; the effect is magical ! and if less 
enchanting, it is not a less glorious sight to behold them in Septem- 
^^ ber, when every part of a tree from its centre tq its extremities is 
universally studded with delicious fruit, alike desirable to "(he pJiMe

and the visionary organs. 
rJn conclusion, I beg to aver, that Mr. Seymour's systelii' is so 
simple, so perfect, so abundantly fructiferous, and so bewitchin'g' to 
the eye at all seasons ; that it only need be seen and understood, to

There wul be few who do not approve ol your recommendation, for 
forming an Arboricultural Society, in England, or of your suggestion 
r for training young men as foresters, by giving them practical ibc- 
tures upon the management of trees. But not to enter upon this 
subject, the object of this letter is, to press upon your notice, the 
propriety of recommending the fonnation of an institution, where 
young gardeuei's might be examined, and diplomas be gi\'en them,
