TRAINING THE TREE.
Proper Pruning Will Give the Sym
metrical Form.

The pruning of the tree should
commence with its planting in the Or
chard and small trees are easier
shaped to the ideas of the planter than
large ones.
The young tree should have n cen
trail leader with three, or not to exceed
four, main limbs. These limbs should
ne from 21a to 3 feet from the ground
but at different heights. If allowed
to come out in circle around the
tree, the trunk is weakened there and
IL one of the limbs is split off the
whole tree is spoiled. Where a num-
Der of limbs come out at the same
height a basin is liable to form where
water will collect and freeze and
eventually make dead spot and rot
ten place.
While the habit of growth of tree
cannot be changed at will, yet by cut
ting the outer limbs just above an
outside bud the tree can be spread
somewhat, while by cutting Just above
an inside but more upright growth
can be induced.
While it is essential TO have a cen
trail leader at the start, as the tree
gets older this may be done away with
TO great extent and the top made
more open and spreading, which is
desirable in spraying and gathering
the fruit, but avoid the exposing of
bare limbs so that they will get the
hot sun.
