The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-07-15

In some of our cities and smaller
towns where city forester or gar
dener is not available, the selection
and care of street trees are important
problems.
When choosing trees OF this sort
two objects should be kept in mind
the tree is to give shade and it is to
be attractive.
Among the trees desirable for this
purpose are the maple, elm, lindens,
planes (sycamores), oaks and horse
chestnut. The black walnut is a
beautiful tree but it does not leaf
until late in the spring and has bad
habit of dropping nuts which are
trodden under foot and discolor the
walks and pavement. The locusts and
catalpas litter the street and lawn
with blossoms and pods. The pop
lars are fast growers but not as at
tractive as the maple and elms and
they shed part of their leaves several
times during the summer.
Our street trees should be protect
ed. Sometimes they are abused by
the property owners who sees his
neighbor pruning his trees. The
owner catches the pruning fever takes
his saw or axe and cuts out some of
the branches or even cuts off the top
of the tree. The result is a large
number of water sprouts and very
little shade for year or two. The
owner is not the worst transgressOr of
the street tree, however. The line

cry boy and fruit vender allowing their
horses to roam united along the side

node tho wood will die back to the
nearest bud, and leave chance for
disease to enter the twig.
TOOLS TO USE IN PRUNING.
The kind OF tool to use depends on
the kind of pruning to be done. The
thumb and finger may be used the
first year in the nursery to rub off
small undesirable buds and the ak
may be used to remove the tree after
it has died of old age, but between
these two stages the saw, knife, loop
ing shears, and pruning shears are
the most practicable.
In all pruning of street trees these
things should be kept in mind: there
should be an object or motive for
every cut made to conform with the
type of tree species; leader or
growing point should be left to elm
mate crotches as much as possible;

Selection and Care of Street Trees

of the street are some of its enemies.
When limbs are removed there
should be some motive for such:
l. To remove dead or injured
branches.
2. To secure more vigorous growth.
g. To reduce competition among
branches.
4. To adopt the tree to the purpose
of shading the street or walk.
Removal of dead branches-This
should be done every year, and it
may be necessary to remove live
branches, also, to keep the shape uni
form.
To secure more vigorous growth
The theory of this operation is to
remove certain parts Of the tree so
that food material will be distributed
into other parts, so stimulating that
part. This is often done with an old
tree or trees that have been abused,
but 1t requires experience in pruning.
To reduce competition among
branches-When limbs are too crowd
ed to gain their full development,
some of them should be cut out SO
that the best branches will receive
plenty of light and develop greater
leaf surface.
To adopt the tree to the purpose OF
shading the street-If properly p1 uned
when young, the tree when it becomes
older will give the greatest possible
shade; but sometimes injury requires
the removal of branch; a new branch
may be forced in it's place by proper
pruning of other parts.
In general young street trees prop

SEASON FOR PRUNING.

The time for pruning shade trees
cannot be definitely set. In general,
early spring pruning before the leaves
come out or in the late fall after the
leaves have fallen. Maple trees
should not be pruned in the spring
but in the summer. The sap flows
from wound made in the spring
more readily and protection is more
difficult as antiseptics will not stick
to the wood as we'll as later. For
this tree, tar applied hot will stick to
the cut surface better than paint.
HOW WOUNDS HEAL.
The stem of the tree consists of ID
bark, ~ cambium layer, 81 layer of
sap wood, az layer OF heartwood.
When branch is properly cut, the
wound is covered with a cushion OF
woody material called callus. This
caIlus is composed of food material
prepared in the leaves above or be-
yond the cut. Stubs cannot heal.
The heartwood does not heal and re-
mains moist, so it is essential to
cover large wounds with some material
such as wax, paint or tar to keep out
water and disease germs.
HOW TO MAKE THE CUT.
This is one of the most important
things in pruning, and ignorance OF
which kills so many good trees. Like
anything else there is a right and
wrong way. The wrong way is to
silver up the branch and peal OF
the bark for several inches around
the wound, leaving stub to become
diseased and die back into the trunk
of the tree. The right way is to re-
move the branch by making a clean
cut close to the trunk Of the tree and
parallel to it. This can only be done
with sharp tools. In cutting OH
large limb, the first cut should be
made from the underside OF the
branch, and short distance from the
trunk, one-half to one inch deep.
Then removing the saw the main cut
should be made from above and few
inches farther from the trunk than
the under cut. The branch when
severed from the trunk will then
break off squarely and not split down
the side of the tree, tearing the bark.
The stub left can be removed.
When it is necessary to prune
young shoot the cut can be made just

Tree Talk

Our selling campaign for the next
delivery season is now on. In
almost every section west OF the
Rockies our statesmen are in the
field visiting old and new customers,
booking orders for future delivery.
Here at the Nursery we are Gull
tivating and caring for as beautiful
a lot of fruit and shade trees, shrub
berry, etc., as can be found in the
west.
In the Office we are closing the
last years records and clearing the
decks for our usual heavy fall and
spring business. We handled over
fifteen thousand individual orders
last season, the largest number OF
orders in our history, and shipped
trees to over nine hundred points
ranging from southeastern New
Mexico to Prince Rupert in north
ern British Columbia.
We are practical nurserymen,
growing a complete line of the
staple deciduous fruits and orna-
mental trees and shrubbery, and
our highest ambition is to main
tain the reputation we have so well
earned for good, clean, hardy stock,
