Ninth Year,—Winter Pruning.—The spursNo. 1. must now be cut down, if there be afruitful or growing bud situated near to theorigin of the spur, it must be cat down tothat, as Fig. 9. a, a fruitful bud, b, a growingbud. The spurs No. 2. must be pruned tothree fruit buds, c, c, c, and the spurs No. have four fruit buds, as d, d, d, It will be observed that the spur No. now been cut down twice, the first timein the sixth year, and the second in thetenth, thus having borne fruit four would be the case with those spurs thatwere only cut down to a fruitful bud, asFig. 5. a; but if cut down to a growing bud,as b, it would only have borne fruit threeyears. Also if the spur was cut entirelydown, as A, Fig. 5. it would have only bornethree years. In both the latter cases itwould be advisable to leave them with threefruit buds each this winter, and cut them 140 TREATMENT OF THE down the next; unless they should havegrown vigorous and long, when they wouldrequire it, as directed for those which werecut down to a fruitful bud. This regular system of cutting down andtreating the spurs, must be practised uponall other spurs, as is here directed. Thusthe next year the spur No. 3. must be cutdown as in Fig. 6. f, and then the secondyear from this time the spurs No. 2. as b; and in the fourth year from t
