This is also called the long-spur and the double-spur system, and is based upon the same principle as the an- nual renewal of the cane, but is applied to tlie fruit- branches. It is illustrated in fig. 36. By a comparison with fig. 33, it will be seen that the branch a, in fig. 86, is the developed bud d in fig. 33, which has borne fruit: the bud h has also developed to the shoot h in fig. 36; while the bud c, in fig. 33, has been rubbed ofi'. The branch a is now to be cut away at the dotted line, leaving the shoot , which grew to the same length as a, but which is now represented as it appears after pruning, to take the place and perform precisely the same part as the removed shoot. The bud d will, in general, be stronger than c, and is Fig. 36.
