Pruning Injured Trees and Vines.

Mr.. NJ B. Bateham, in the Northern OHIO
Journal, referring to the extent of the damage
done 10 the fruit during the winter and the
propriety of subsequent pruning, says:
I'VE find much greater amount of injury
than we at first supposed done to fruit trees
and grape vines by the freezing (or thawing p
last month. 1t is probable that many peach
and cherry trees are entirely killed, and still
more will have to be cut back very severely.
But we advise the owners to let them alone
for month or two longer, till the extent of
the damage can be more clearly SEEN We
have known peach trees to recover when they
seemed almost hopelessly ruined. All the va,
rietes of grapes in this region are injured
somewhat, the Concord least of any; but most
of them will, no doubt, recover, with only the
loss of part or all of the seasons crop, accord
ing to the extent Of the killing of the buds
and young wood. Where these are a good
deal injured it is best to prune quite severely,
old vines and such as have made
large growth, cutting out good share of the
old wood, and leaving the best new shoots
that come out nearest the ground, and short
ening these to foot or two in length, or even
less if the buds seem mostly dead Then af,
ter the new shoots have come out in June any
