PRUNING OF TREE AND BUSH FRUIT.

planted unpruned. After the tree Is
set the top should be cut back propor-
tlonately with the root. ANY weakly
slender branches should be removed
and be cut closely leaving no stub.
Then the other branches can be headed
back. In thus observing due propor-
ton between top and root the leaves
OH coming out VIII not give of moist
ure faster than the roots can supply IT,
The lack OF cutting back the top Of the
tree In transplanting causes the drying
out and death OF many trees that might
otherwise live.
FORMING THE YOUNG TREE.
When the young tree has become es-
tablished It's formation for future use
fulness should begin. During It's early
years young tree should be allowed to
bear a large amount OF foliage. The
more leaves II has. the more wood II
r. able to form and the quicker II comes
To maturity. II the tree Is quite
young and whip-lke Its side buds
should be allowed to produce leaves all
the way up the stem. This Will cause II
TO thicken up and become stout and
stocky. II the tree Is old enough to
have a good stout stem the side shoots
may be removed and the energy OF the
tree directed towards the formation
OF the head. From the trainers stand
point, this Is the most important time
In the whole life history OF the tree, II
handled rightly at this point the tree
may become useful, long-liyed and
productive, but from wrong treatment
AZ becomes broken down and diseased

The pruning OF the tree before II

bose az properly forming the tree Il.
self. In other words the treatment IL
10 stimulate the production OF wood
rather than fruit. AS has been said
the Young tree should carry a maximum
Of foliage. Only such limbs should be
removed as are misplaced. When limbs

IDEAL f"oN'''''
The ideal pruning consists in remoy-
ing not branches but buds; not In
checking growth but I'm directing H. II
