Preparing Trees for Planting.


DIR. Geo. Thurber gives valuable ad-
vice on tree planting in the American
Agricultural for Marchi
Nurscrymen, while they sometimes
deprive tree Of q large share OF its roots
by hurried and careless digging, usually
send the purchaser the full quantity OF
branches. The inexperienced tree plan
ter judges of the quality of nursery
tree by the size Of the top. When he is
told that at least one-half Of tho top
should be cut away before the tree is
planted, he thinks he knows better, and
sets out the trees Just as they came from
the nursery. The many poor, strug-
Cling orchards all over the country
bear witness to the general neglect of
the proper preparation OF the trees
before planting A novice has
a great reluctance to use a knife
ON his trees. 1t seems a great waste
to cut of any part of the trees
that he has bought, though he gives
hardly o thought to the roots he has paid
for, and which are left in the soil OF the
nursery. 1t is within bounds to say that
even " hen tree is carefully dug, at
least one-half of its small fibrous roots
the really useful and feeding roots-are
broken or cut off in the operation. This
would be OF little consequence were the
top OF the tree reduced in the same pro-
portion. Even those who have given
but little study to the growth of plants,
will admit, in general way, that the
roots take up water from the soil, and
that the leaves evaporate the water
thus taken up. 1t should need no ar.
gument to show that ii half OF the absorb.
ing roots are gone, and all OF the evapor-
ating surface tthe leaves which will soon
be produced from the buds) remains, this
will be in excess, and make demand
upon the roots which they cannot sup
ply. Most persons viii admit that trou-
BILE will soon come II they spend more
than their income, yet they persist in
placing their trees in the position of
spendthrift. There is no one thing so
essential to the future success OF an
orchard as the proper cutting back of
the tops before planting. Before the
trees are taken to the ground, some
careful person, who will use some
thought as well as a sharp knife, should
go over them one by one. Taking each
tree in the left hand, let him turn the
roots upward. II any OF the larger
roots show rough end, from being bro
ken with dull spade, let them be cut
smooth, making slanting cut on the
lower side. Ii any roots are much longer
than the others, let them be shortened
The roots being cared for, turn up the
tree and inspect the top. II any of the
branches are badly shaped or crowded
cut them out altogether, and cut back
each branch not less than n third of its
length; and rs rule, it will be better in
the end to cut away one half.
