Regarding this subject Mr.. Howorth re
marks: The gardner who desires his
plants to blossom and bear fruit takes care
that they shall avoid a vigorous growth.
He knows that this will invariably make
them sterile; that either bis trees will only
bear distorted flowers, that fail to produce
seed, or that they will bear no blossoms
at all. lp order to procure fruit or flow
ers he checks the vigor Of tue plant
by pruning its roots or branches. depriv.
