healthy wood on all sides of the wound,
to get rid of the disease. Then paint
the wound with common white lead
and oil paint, to each quart of which
has been added one teaspoonful of BIZ

Begin at the top and prune the tree

branching system, with open center, to
admit sunlight and air from above. Do
not remove strong lower limbs If they
can be given sufficient light from above.
Aim to secure bearing branches
throughout the main body of the tree.
Ii the tree is shaded by too much
growth at the top. the inner and lower
twigs will weaken and die instead of
bearing fruit.
Cut back the strong, upward-grOw-
ing central limbs to outward-growing
side branches. This induces the tree
to spread laterally instead of growing
too high. 1t admits light through the
center to fruiting branches below. If
limbs cross each other or crowd badly,
thin them out enough to admit filtered
sunlight to all parts of the tree.
In pruning cut limbs close, so as to
leave no stub or knot. A prOtruding
knot will not heal. A wound cut close
will allow the growing layer to close
over the wound.
