work in winter Or before the buds
swell, and then in summer cutting
off this stump close to the tree or
large branch. The object Of this
mode is to get the full benefit of
winter pruning, by avoiding the
check OF growth produced by heavy
summer Looping, and at the same time
secure the advantage OF more
speedy healing. But 1t is hardly
probable that we shall secure both
to their full extent. If many leaves
are LETT on the stump, some injury to
the tree will result from this summer
removal; while the healing process
will doubtless be less rapid than if
the whole original foliage of the
limb were separated ut once. Yet
We are disposed to regard this meth
Cd with favor, is avoiding III some
degree both evils.
In this connection, we offer Il pr;lc-
teal hint for the mechanical renlov-
al ut limbs which requires the use of
the saw. To prevent splitting the
bark on the lower side as the limbs
fail, first make small cut beneath
and opposite to the main cut made
by the saw above; or it they do not
quit coincide, let the lower one be
slightly nearest the tree. This mode
will not only leave Il smoother face,
but will save time and trouble to the
operator who must otherwise hold
the branch with one of his hands or
by an assistant. The saving off Of
the slumps above mentioned is rapi-
dly and easily done without any
such care.
Some OF the preceding remarks
may appear too onjec,ural in char
actcr t. be OF value; but we have an
important object in view, namely, to
imcite to a more close and careful ex-
animation OF the effects of each
mode; or to encourage an accurate
system of experiments for this end.
To know best how to preserve or
CT ards in the best bearing condition,
and to prevent their premature injury
and decay, are objects worthy OF
special attention.
