Remove all weak growth from the tops and leave only the large vigorous canes. These should be cut back to a length ot six to eight inches above the place where the plant was budded. From the roots cut all bruised. broken, split, or Injured sections. Eefore planting, the soil should have a liberal application of manure and bone meal worked Into the beda to a depth of 12 to 15 inches. In planting, dig the hole large enouglt to accommodate the roots without cramping. Usually a bloc 18 iches in dinmetar and elaht in ton Innlita deep Ib sufficient. P)->'ce the plant In the hole so that the bud union will be slightly below !he surface oi the ground after the planting operation is complete. Spread the roots naturally and firm some soil welf around thehi.
