PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
Every Variety Presents Its Peculiar
Problems Which Muxt Be Stud
led by the Grower.

Every kind of tree or plant, in fact,
every individual, presents its own pc
culiar problems to the pruner. Hence
no arbitrary rules can be given. To
do the work most judiciously the OPP
orator must understand the prin-
ciples involved, then apply them to
each case. Skill in pruning can come
only with experience and practice.
Perhaps the most important thing
is to observe the manner in which
the fruit is borne. For instance, an
apple or pear tree bears it's fruit
mostly on fruit spurs" and SO would
not be pruned in the same way as a
peach tree, which bears it's fruit only
on last seasons growth. A ounce
tree, which produces its fruit on the
tips of the growth made the present
season, would naturally be pruned
differently from either an apple or
peach tree. Likewise, the correct
pruning of grapes is based on the
f fact that the shoots of the present
season produce this years crop. The
same principle in pruning holds true
throughout the whole list of fruits
that is. the manner in which the
fruit is borne should govern the man
ner of pruning.
In a general way, it may be said
in regard to tree fruits that all dead
branches should be removed and the
tops of the trees be kept sufficiently
open TO admit an abundance OF sun
light for the coloring of the fruit,
Reasonably open tops are also of
great advantage in spraying the
trees and in harvesting the fruit.
The natural habit of the tree should
suggest the form to be adopted by
the primer. In other words, a tree
the branches of which naturally
droop cannot well be PINNED to an
upright form, and a tree with q
strong tendency toward forming an
upright head cannot readily be made
to assume decidedly spreading
form. OF course these natural tend
encies can be influenced In measure
by the manner of pruning, but they
cannot be entirely overcome. The
tops should be kept symmetrical and
as well balanced as possible.
The pruning of the various kinds of
small fruits is based on the same
general principles as the pruning of
fruit trees-that is, the manner in
which the fruit is borne and the
character of the growth should gov
ern the method of pruning.-Farm-
ers' Bulletin, No 161.
