trees, this is very important, as they are
very apt to be lnxuriant in leaves AMI lesti-

the trees, but it DOGS not; for you will find
trees laden with fruit, which formerly yielded
nothing. OF course other well known pre-.
cautions must be attended to, such as cutting
out worms from The roots, placing old iron
on limbs, which acts as tonic TO the sap. Sc.
