FRUIT TREES. Meyer. prop ups, tree
loaded with fruit to prevent the :branchea
from breaking down. Any branch or tree
which requires propping has more fruit than
it oughtto carry, eithsr.foff the good Of. the
tres- or the good,af, the fruit. Hhe first
thing to do is to remove all the smaller:
poor or,knotty specimens, If this is done
before growth has ceased, and some times
after ripening has commenced, the improve
ment of the remaining portion will more
than compensate for the reduction in mum
ber. In those regions where the peach
bears only occasionally the owners often at.
tempt to get all they can by allowing an oyer.
abundant crop to remain. They will get
quite as many bushels by removing one halt
or two thirds and obtain an immense supe'
riority in favor. Many ccultlyators have
observed that the last ripening peaches on
tree are incomparably better than the first
merely because they are not crowded.:
How much better would they be. by remov-
ing the crowding portion before ripening.
If you wish to have good, healthy, uniform:
y growing fruit trees, not destroyed by pre-.
mature age, do. not let them over bear.
