Great activity must now be ezeroised in this depart-
ment, Si the rapid growth of the trees will require
oonstant attention in stopping superfluous shoots and
nail-in. Poaches may now hare their final disbudding.
Let every shoot not required be removed with • sharp
knife arid the remander be Gelb NUJ if any of
the extreme shoots are getting out of bounds they may
, be stopped within stew joist. of the base in order to
' preserve the fruit, but take care to train-ep another
shoot to succeed. Give the fruit another moderate
thinning; but leave more than will eventually be
required, as • portion will eatainly fall off in stoning. ,
Apricate meet be thinned with the same disoretion.
Keep the lateral shoots of Vitief oloiely stopped at the
first joint. Toe practise of removing them entirely I.
ohjoctiouable, as nature does nothing in vain, and,
doubtlese, they were placed there for solo° good purpose;
by retaining • joint we preserve them for whatever
pulp i.e they may sorve in tho economy of the Vine.
Wu should always endeavour to assist the operation of
nature as well as juounouely cheek overluzuriance, and
in this respect there is no tree more tractable than the
Vine.
