scribed. which is said to be an improve
ment. ! desire also TO show YOU an
other new mode of performing this
operation, which may prove equally
valuable.
When trees begin to show their
fruit, (no matter what kind and il is
made evident that grating must be
resoFted TO. or we must patiently put
up with an inferior kind, instead OF
cutting of the top, uncover the roots,
and choosing the most thrifty one,
make a slit IN the bark, cut your zion
OH with a slope. and thrust il in and
cover the roots with earth. IL will
tase well, and grow some the FIRST
year, much more the next, and the
third year the old stock may be cut
away, aud the growth from that time
on will be very rapid, and soon form a
good bearing tree. CALVIN.
