sons growth should be cut hack
severely each time, but possi-

ond and third season 'the prin-
cipal attention that that must
lie given a tree that is properly
formed is thinning out the sec
midary limbs enough to keep
the the top of the tree. The ten
dency of the tree is to produce
the fruit wood nesai the ends
of the branches when they are
not headed oack. The tdeaJ
condition is to have the fruit
wood as near the trunk of the
tree as possible thus eliminat-
ing a kit ctf strain on the limbs
when they are heavily fruited.
After the trees come into

to prepare it in small amounts.
