fail In having his crop of flower buds
ready to open each spring than that
the nurseryman should fail to have
a crop of salable trees ready to sup
ply his patrons.
The conception of the bud as a unit
Of production is not wholly new,
though il will be new to many Amere-
lean fruit growers. In Europe the
fruit tree has long been cultivated
more or less from the standpoint of
the bud. But the pottering methods
of training and trying fruit trees
practiced in European gardens are
impracticable in u land of high
priced labor and extensive culture.
And yet the bud standpoint is un-
questionably the correct one. What,
then, a we do? We must make an
economical compromise between their
slow and tedious methods and happy
go-lucky no-system. We mustfnd a way
of pruning trees so as to better control
the growth and to place the buds more
on an equal footing as regards light
and space.

In planting we remove most OF the
leaves and cut back the roots to two
or three inches, almost converting the
plant into a bulb. Removing the
leaves diminishes the demand for wa
ter while new roots are being sent
out, and shortening the roots encour-
ages the plant to send u new ones
from the crown, which it often fails
to do if the old ones are not cut back.
Further, a pant with shortened roots

any fresh stable except as a
winter covering, writes M. Crawford,
in Garden Magazine. Nor should it be
used then if the bed is to be kept
over another year. 1t will not only
bring in weeds, but will produce a
rank growth that is very liable to
rust.
The preparation of the soil Is an i'm.
portant matter. 1t may be plowed
to the depth of a foot, but in
no case would | bury the good
soil under more than an inch or two
of poor subsoil. 1t should be made
fine and firm as deep as it is plowed.
The hardest clay with four inches Of
the surface made fine, and hat below
unbroken, will produce a better crop
than if it is broken to the depth of a
foot and only four inches pulverized.
Hollow places underneath are to be
avoided always, for the strawberry
plant will not bloom if it's roots get
into a hole. A. T. Goldsborough Of

Washington, who carried to the secre
tary of agriculture berries tina,
weighed over four ounces each, said
that he personally would prefer to
grow berries on a pavement with six
inches of good soil on it. AS a gen
eral rule, plants will be productive in
proportion as the soil is firm.

method. After the soil is well pre-.
pared, take the 15-inch marker and
mark 1t both ways. Then set a plant
at each cross. leaving every third row
vacant for a path. Now the plants are
in their new places, and will com.
mence their seasons work at once.
Each one will send out a mass of
roots in all directions, from IL to Is

the Rural Home. The buds of a
fruit tree are in a sense distinct life
history. It's mission is to grow for a
time to produce other buds by division
of itself for the perpetuation of the
tree, and finally to flower, to fruit,
and then perish.
From this point of view the fruit
tree represents a crop of buds of diff
ferent ages. Each season one of these
crops finishes it's course of Towering
and fruiting, and another crop is
brought into existence to take the
place in due time of the crop that has
fulfilled its mission.
Now the fruit growers problem is
easily stated. 1t is to so treat his
trees as to have the largest number of
buds in condition to fruit to their best
capacity each season, and at the same
time bring on other healthy buds to
perpetuate the life of the tree, and to
fruit the next succeeding years. If
his tree is not fully grown, it is imper-
alive that the crop of young buds that
it brings forth shall be larger than
the crop of buds that he permits to
fruit. Barring only the question of
winter killing, If his methods of cul-
ture are correct, there would seem to
be no more reason why he should
