HOW TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES
should Not Be Observation-Disclosures
Ones May Be Punched Back.

In pruning fruit trees, attention has
to be given to the manner In which
the particular kind bears fruit, writes
an expert in an exchange. The cherry
and the pear both bear their fruit on
short spurs, and in trimming, there
fore, the effort should be to produce
a large quantity OF healthy fruit spurs.
Summer pruning does this admir-
ably.
The branches that we want to re-
main as leading shoots should not be
touched; but the weaker ones may be
pinched back about midsummer, one
foot or two-thirds Of their growth.
This will induce the swelling of a
number OF buds that will produce
flowers instead of branches, and IN
this way fruit spurs can be obtained
on comparatively young trees; but
with such kinds as the grape vine. the
fruit is borne on the branches of last
years growth, SO the effort should
be to throw all the vigor possible to
those growing branches that we want
to bear fruit the next season.
To do this we pinch back the shoots
that we do not want to extend; or
even pull these weak shoots out alto
gether. A little pruning is then nee
essary in the winter: to shorten
back these strong, bearing canes.
or to prune out altogether the weaker
ones that we check by pinching back
during the growing season.
