The fruit is produced on spurs, which appear on shoots more than one y, ear old ; the object of the pruner, therefore, ought to be to procure a fair supply of these spurs. The mode of training wall pear-trees most commonly adopted is the horizontal; but each of the forms already mentioned (pp. 52, 53) has its advantages, and is peculiarly adapted to some particular habit of growth in the several varieties. For the St. Germain and other twiggy sorts, the fan form is to be preferred ; for the Gan...sel s Bergamot and other strong growers, the half-fan or the horizontal. In the latter form the trees may often be found fifteen, twenty, or even thirty years old, during which time they acquire an undue projection from the wall, and become scraggy and unman ageable. On the other hand, the finest fruit is produced on young spurs, clearly indicating the necessity of a fre- PEARS. 133 quent renovation of the spurs. This would lead to a prefer ence of the fan form, not, indeed, that which is commonly practiced, for in it the spurs are as immovable as in any other arrangement; but rather that recommended for peaches, in which there is a continual renewal of the branches.
