Young trees ehnuld be planted the

When planting spread d the roots

elude air ; fill 3,1 roil up to the level and
tramp, finally Inver over with a mulch
c•f good manure so an to coyer all out tie
far as roots extend.
Two ',tete old trees ate stronger thin
large trees for transplanting as they
have strong root power and no head
to support.
When transplanting a tree that has
a formed head cut back the top to cor-
respond with the loss,iustained by re-
moval and broken toots.
Trees of an apple.occhard should be
planted 40 feet apart In the row and
the rows should be 40 feet apart.
If there hi only a limited quantity of
land for planting. select kinds accord-
ing to their habits and place, spread-
ing kinds 40 feet apart every waw and
those of upright growth, in a plot by
themselves 90 feet apart.
Room can be economised in a family
orchard by piecing apple trees 40 feet
apart every way with plutn trees,placed
betwee't ovety two apple trees in the

The object in nitowhig abundant
room between trees is to allow u free
circulation and sunlight.
Trees should be pruned every year.
Marsh is the most convenient time
to prune because there is more spare
Mine then to do the work.
June is the beet ▪ time to prime be-
cause the wounds will heal over more
readily then,
When a large limb is removed, the
wound should be painted with lead or
other convenient substance to exclude
the weather.'
If pruning is systematically done it
will never be necessary to remove
large limbs.
In removing a limb or twig cut close
to the collar without in jur,ng it.
Pruning is a matter of taste in form-
ing a shapely head with woad evenly
dietc'ihuted 80 as to allow the sunlight
to penetrate every part, always having
respect to the habits of the vat•Iety.
Every grower should have It chart of

When selecting varieties to plant
look well to quality in the fruit as well
as growth of tree and bearing, as mar-
kets are becoming more particular in
getting good flavor, and as they become
more enlightened In Euaope they will
learn to look beyond mere outward ap-
pearance, and purchase for intrinsic
worth.
One great reason why varieties in
fruits are deteriorating is because
nurserymen do not exercise care in
selecting proper wood tor propagating.
If you find excellence in quality of a
chance seedling make it known be-
cause it is sure to posses other desir-
able essentials and may be worthy of
