To get the best and quickest results
an apple tree should have no pruning

taking out sap-sprouts and cutting
back the long limbs to induce a short
stocky growth At about the age OF
five or seven years thorough, sys-

One seldom goes into a bearing
orchard but he finds great vacant
places four TO six feet in diameter In
the center OF nearly every tree that
never has and never will produce an

should be grown and such cutting out

Until an orchard is ten to fourteen
