right manner. 1t transpires that Mr..
Holmes does not agree with the good

then never touch them with the ex-
ception Of cutting off a limb or so oc-
casionally, and gathering what apples
are allowed to survive by the cater
pillars, and other enemies Of clean.

growth Of the tree itself as we'll as

to be possible. however. to so amend
