CIRDIJNC FRUIT TREES.

Mr.. Eesseudeu-It is curious, but not
entirely novel case, that the discovery of the
effect Of rird,ing fruit trees in forcing them
into early bearing has been recently claimed
as a new achievement, fer an English,
German. and French horticulturist. Yet
in truth, it was as we'll known to the cele.
brated Button as to any modern cultivator
He was induced to make extensive expe-
riments on the decoration of forest trees prior
to their being felled, with view to ascer-
tain the comparative strength and durabill-
sy of timber cut with the bark on, and that
from which the bark had been removed some
years previously to its being felled. lie
found the strength of the wood OF trees
whose bark had been previously removed
year or two before its being cut, much great
er than that of trees felled with the bark on.
And he found. moreover, that trees win
live from one to four years after the whole
bark has been removed. He then tried
pirdkinr of fruit trees, and the following
sketch from his works will show, that he,
n completely and satisfactorily tested the
effects of it, as any modern cultivator has
done. II have made, (says the Comte de
Bufon,) many experiments upon variety
Of fruit trees. 1t is a certain or intAllible
mode of Fastening the period Of bearing,-
They (the girdled trees) blossom sometimes
three weeks before others, and give earlier
fruit, and equally good the first year. have
even had fruit on pear tree from which
had removed not only the bark but all the
SAT- svoed (alburnum) and these premature
fruits were is good as those OF other trees.
have also removed the 7Yhoie bark from
top to bottom of large apple trees and vigo-
rous plumb trees. This operation has de-
stroyed, even after the first year, the small
est of these trees, but the large ones have
sometimes resisted the effects of this bark
ing for two or three years. They were COW
cred earlier than other trees with prodi-
gious quantity of flowers, but the fruit which
succeeded, never ripened, nor even attained
any considerable size.
availed myself (says Buffon) of the expe-
rience, and of the knowledge, which these
various trials afforded me to attempt to
force into fruit trees of vigorous growth
which seemed to throw all their force
into the production of wood made my
first experiment on ounce tree re-
moved the bark in a spiral form from tive
branches of this tree. These two branches
alone gave fruit---the others remained bar
rem. Instead of removing the bark, some
times simply tied cord round a branch
the effect was the same, had the pleasure
of gathering the fruits of trees which hat
been long barren.
In what manner soever you interrupt ol
intercept the sap, you are sure OF Fastening
production of fruits, and especially of flow
ers."
