A eorfesap,onndc1ntt Ii Of r. the Hor,tcuxurist
says there aIea several avays iOf inducing
fruitfuness IN trees, such as roOt-pruning,
heading in, .transplanting aud skinning.
The latter process Is performed as follows !:
Having selected the tree TO be operated
on, with knife circle the bark as near the
ground as possible. Make similar cut
below the fruit branches and strip OIL all
the bark between the cuts, taking care not
to touch the fine, filmy coating which en-
velopes the tree between the bark and the
wood. Even if the hand Is pressed against
this substance, after thu. bark is remOyed,s
no new bark will grow in the place. Do
not cut through that film when encrfcling
the bark, or it IL probable the death Of the
tree will be the consequences. II properly,
barked, the tree will commence putting on
new bark without losing 9 single leaf
