DO Promote fertIIlty in Frnlt Trees

AZ AkA NAV W.
Every orchardiet must have observed
that some fruit trees of superior quality
and Of luxuriant growth, are yet Slow in
coming into a bearing state, and are az
terwards, inconstanl. This is the case
especially with pear trees. Let us note
down some of the methods proposed for
remedying this evil.
An abundant and rapid flow of sap
tends to the growth of new wood and
leaves, rather than to the formation OF
fruitlbuds Whatever checks this flow
will excite the production Of flower buds.
For example, select vigorous evergreen
which has thus far shown no cones, and
transplanted it, and next year 1t will be
covered with seed-vessels. Soft is often
with fruit trees. The check thereby Civ.
en- to. the roots and branches, in their
growth, causes the organizable sap TO ac-
cumulate in the branches, and directs il
to the formation of fruit. Hence it is
that formal root pruning is sometimes
practiced. As this process is described
In nearly all fruit manuals, we will only
remind the reader that it should be praC.
ticed only in the fall and winter. Mr.
Rivers OF England as nearly everybody
knows, no sooner catches any of his pear
trees mapping, than he lifts them from
the ground and sets them back again
fruit is always the result.
Ringing the branches is another meth
cd. q This consists in taking out a tircu
lar section. of bark, about an inch wide
eH several branches of the tree. The
Eefect Of this is to prevent the return O.
Elaborated sap from the tops of the bran
ches to the limbs and roots below, and al
ways produced the formation offruit bad:
This practice is not TO be generally com.
mended; il robs the lower portions of tht
tree of the proper food, and renders the
! glrdled branches useless afterwards.
Bending the branches downward, is an.
other and better method. This impede,
both the ascent and descent Of sap, anC
causes It's accumulation all all the branch
Is In the form of fruit buds. Who ha,
not observed that crooked apple tire,
often bears betterthana perfectly straigh
one! And one with a fat, spreading
head, better than a Pyramidal one 3
Hence we see the wisdom of practice
common among uar$prymen, of removing
theycentrat branches Of young apple irees
This bending down of the branches shouIC
be done in June or July, while the shoot;
are most flexible. 49,. .r,,,
Training the branches TO awallfortrel
lis, q is another method. The slight com
preston of the ligatures. ana the bend
ing of the branches, causes a check o
The flow of sap, and SO induces fruitful
ness. ...-..-.-.
