How to Train Apple Trees.

In order to be successful in the produc-
ton of fruit and in securing long-lived or
chards, we cannot be too particular in study
ing the peculiar habits of different varieties
of apple treee and in training them in a
proper manner. One who has been care
full observer cansot visit orchards without
noticing that large proportion of trees have
been trained contrary to their natural habits
of growth. Every variety of APP lie trees has
its peculiarities, and these should be pre-
served as far as possible. 1t is folly to carry
on a constant fight with nature. Apple
trees should be trained so as to preserve
their natural habits of growth. The Fa-
meuse, which has wide spreading branches,
should be allowed to train its natural habit.
The Tetotski and Wealthy, that are inclined
to grow tall and straight should not be in
duced to spread their branches.
individuality and natural peculiarities
should be encouraged in trees as in animals,
in order 10 obtain he best results. The at
tempts to make tree grow in other ways
than nature designed, often result in de-
stroying its value altogether The natural
habits of trees should be we'll understood
before one undertakes to train them.
Most of our works on pom plogy have too
much to say about the peculariies of the
apples themselves. Many persons who can
classify apples correctly cannot identify the
Minus VI ticco tudb piOuuCeu tucui. we
need descriptions and illustrations of trees
as well as of the fruit they produce. Re
liable information about the natural habits
of fruit trees would save much injudicious
pruning and result in giving us better trees
as well as larger crops of fruit.
Certain principles of pruning apply to
nearly all varieties of fruit trees, and these
should be observed not only by orchardists
but b. nurserymen. A great many nursery
men are very careless in training the trees
they raise for the market, and the average
farmer will allow them to grow in the same
form they were in when he received them.
1t is great mistake committed by many
nurserymen to allow forks to form immed-
ately above the junction of the original
gratis. In the course of time there will be
great pressure on the branches, and they
will gradually separate. Water will enter
the cavity and Insects will make their homes
in it. In few years decay will commence.
and split will occur or the branches will
break off. This damage is likely TO take
place when the tree produces its first good
crop of fruit.-L FL. Pammel in Chicago
