A TREATISE ON PRUNING
Timely and Valuable Suggestions On
This Important Subject by
One Who knows

The article published below is taken
from the Penticton (B. c. Herald
and was contributed to that paper by
L. Helps. Mr. Helps is no stranger
in Oroville. and it is safe TO say that
there is not resident of the north
west more competent, through years
Of practical experience, to write in
diligently upon the subject of POM
ology and horticulture Mr.. Helps
had charge OF Leslie Hills big ranch
and orchard on Osoyoos lake just
across the line and North of Oroville,
for long time, and on that job dem
onstrated his aptitude for handling
fruit trees. Mr. Helps did not pick
up his knowledge haphazzard, or by
fragment from time to time He was
born, grew up and lived his life in the
business of landscape gardening and
fruit culture, which is a special line
OF usefulness and ornamentation. 1t
is an art with him as well as a voca-
ton He takes pride in his work, and
wherever he applies his talent the sur
roundings take on new beauty. and
fruit trees seem to gain greater ca
pacity of production. The informa-
ton contained in this article is val
liable to every orchardist, as the con-
illusions reached and advice given are
based upon experience and practice
Proper and scientific pruning is some
thing that every grower of fruit must
know in order to make his venture
success, and Mr.. Helps lays down
rules that he has found work to the
best advantage in the culture and de-
yelopment of thrifty, symmetrical and
productive trees and vines:
Pruning, as practiced in orchards.
has for its object the regulation Of
the branches to secure the due pro-
duction of blossoms and maturity of
fruit. If carried to too great an eX-
tent that object is not obtained. for
every tree requires a certain amount
of leaf surface for the elaboration of
duced too much, blossom buds are
produced less abundantly. for leaves
are more necessary for the health OF
the trees; and by a wise provision.
the parts less requisite for individual
yigor are superseded by the parts the
more needed On the other hand ii
the branches are left roo thick they
overshadow those beneath them and
so exclude the light and prevent
that elaboration of the sap, without
which no blossom buds are formed.
but ali excessive production of leaves,
i'll the vain effort to attain, by an en-
arged surface, that elaboration which
a smaller surface would effect in a
more intense light. The appropriate
pruning is given when considering
each species of fruit trees. and here
we must confine ourselves to q few
general remarks. The season for
pruning must be regulated in so ne
degree, by the strength of the tree
for although as a general rule the on.
eraiion should not take place until the
fall OF the leaf indicates that growth
has ceased yet if the tree be weak.
ii may often be performed with aJ-
vantage a little earlier but skill so
late in the autumn as to prevent inc
protrusion OF fresh shoots. This re.
