upon it which bear leaves, and even
then healing will take place only close
to the living branch on the stump.
Two cuts should be made in prun-
ing practically all limbs to prevent
peeling, and on limbs of any size it is
necessary to make the incision on the
under side for the same reason. After
removing the limbs with saw a NAL
let and chisel may be used to smooth
up the cut surface. This induces a
betted callous growth.
1t is we'll to prune carefully at the
time of transplanting, when all street
trees should be trimmed up eight or
ten feet or more. 1t is also often nee
essary to cut back some of the
branches in order to balance the root
system, and when this is done some
of the less desirable branches may be
sacrificed, and those remaining may
be cut back to some extent.
The practice of topping trees is in
furious and should never be resorted
to except in special cases. All of the
reserve material in the tree is stored
in the roots. stem and branches, and
in a transplanted tree this is sufficient
to develop the foliage.
1t is necessary that tree should
have certain amount of foliage for
growth and development, since the ra-
pidity of growth is dependent upon
leaf development
Many fine shade trees are every
year being destroyed by telegraph and
telephone wires. Trolley and electric
wires are frequently guyed to trees,
but they are a source of danger from
the crossing of the wires. When live
wires come into contact with limbs
some kind of insulator should be en-
ployed.
Electrical injuries such as are
caused by burning are becoming more
frequent every year.
