There Is al, erroneous idea. by the way.
that evergreens cannot be pruned. This
IL oontradicted by good authorities. who
say they can be pruned with as good ef-
feet as other trees. In fact. however.
evergreens are not apt to need as much
clipping, as they naturally grow SYM
metrically. But II they tend to grow
too tall they can have the leader stop
ped and a new leader will grow. while
the tree in the meantime will have
thickened. Again. II the branches grow
struggling, the tips of them may be
headed back with the same effect OF
thickening. When a tree has attained
some size, four or five inches may be
taken of the branches every year or
two. This will serve to keep 1t from
growing open or ragged.
Where pruning is most needed. and
where 1t is perhaps hardest for any
commuter eager to see things making a
show to make up his. or her. mind to

having been disturbed, are not in as

on each branch. Many q good old tree
has been utterly ruined by reckless and
careless cutting. When shade trees are
cut back to mere clubs or poles, as one
frequently sees done, they must force
out buds from old wood, process which
greatly reduces the vigor of the trees,
and IL a drought comes may easily re-
suit in killing them outright
All dead or dying wood should be cut
as soon as noticed-and commuter should
take care to notice them-and branches

Pruning the Fruit Trees.
In pruning fruit trees the object Is to
get the best-developed fruit possible. In
this climate. where the sun is never
too hot for the fruit. as 1t often is far
ther South, one purpose to be kept in
view in pruning is SO to open up the tree
that the fruit on every part of it will get
the sun and light. Most Of the common
fruits-peach, pear. apples. &c.-usually
produce their flowers from buds made
the fall before-buds that stay dormant
all winter. 1t is well. therefore. for the
commuter to cut back the shoots sparing-
ly, unless he wishes to thin out the fruit,

ture to be able to distinguish between
fruit and leaf buds As to that, the po-

ing or decay until the healing tissue
grows over 1t. ....
All branches which are pruned should
be cut OF close to the limb or trunk on
which they grow, and the wound should
be parallel to it. Never cut back branches
to stubs. for they rarely heal when SO
cut, and frequently the decay will eat
into the trunk itself. A good way to cut
on a branch too big to use the shears on
is to cut through the under mark first,
SO there will be no danger Of splitting
or pealing.
