pErNNG Fam TREES. The best time for
a general pruning is at the close Of the first
growth Of summer, which is from the 10Th
OF Jun, to the 18th Of July. Then the
leaves will take care Of the flowing sap, and
al small wounds will bcrapiily hcalcl over.
The large wounds may be closed by a coat
ing Of tar thickcncl with brick-dust, applied
warm. Gum shcllac j. good, but is more
liable to peal or than the tar mixture.
Never cut a limb for the ,ako Of using
your tools. The top, Of apple trees do not
require severe thinning in our hot summers.
Nature understands the wants Of tho trees
often much Jcttcr than the gardener who
has had III, training under the dripping
.kics Of England. The thick limbs and 70.
liagc are needed to protect the trunk, the
larger branches and the fruit. You will find
your iaircst specimens in the top Of the tree,
and partially shielded from the suns rays
by leaves. Very small limbs, a hall.inch
through, that cross each other, or that in
tcrfcrc with the symmetry d the top, may
now he removed, but no general pruning
should bo attempted. American AgrIcul-
