i he foreright shoots I turned to the wall, intending eventually to 
take away the top and two bottom branches. But, leaving Wollaton, 
I bad not the opportunity afforded me of accomplishing it; these 
branches also bore wonderful crops of fruit, and looked exceedingly 
well. Ihe sorts I chiefly practised upon were Autumn Bergamot , 
Crassane , Gansels Bergamot, and Paddington Pear. A summer 
Boncretien also, I headed and trained as represented, figure 101.

this treatment very fair crops of fruit, and of an excellent quality.

And grafted with the Colmar, which is well known to be an excel¬ 
lent fruit for use in February and March, this bore very well, but I 
found none produce crops equal to those trained as fig. 100. And I 
am satisfied that any person having trees in a similar condition to 
those under my care, by adopting the system I have recommended, 
will be amply rewarded for his pains.
