Hints By the Horticulturists to Insure Success With Orchards. 1. The growth made by a young fruit tree the .first year in the orchard is more important in determining suc cess than any other year in its his tory. 2. The soil should be previously prepared by deep plowing and pul v< rizingas carefull as for a seed bed. 3. If the soil of the orchard, is well prepared, holes to receive the trees need be only deep and wide enough to commodate the natural spread of the root system. In setting replants in an orchard, the holes should he dug deep and broad enough to cut back the encroaching roots oP sur rounding trees to avoid competition until the replant is established. - 4. iMedium-siezed one-year-old trees or well grown June buds are to be f preferred to older trees for trans planting. ' f>. The roots of young trees should be protected against drying out,! by avoiding unnecessary exposure of! the roots to air in handling. 6. The roots; of young trees are more susceptible than the tops to in jury from cold and should not bo ex posed by handling during freezing temperatures. A mere frost may kill them. 7. It is better to cut the main roots to six or eight inches in length than to leave them long enough that they may be bent or killed in planting. 8. Usually the tree should be planted no deeper than it stood in the nursery. New roots start moi'e promptly where the soil warms first, near the surface. Most planters set the trees too deep. 9. Compact the soil firmly about the main roots to avoid drying out, but do not bruise the roots in firm ing the soil about them. Bruised roots renew growth less readily and are more subject' to infection, by root diseases. • 10. Early winter, planting, while the trees —are fully dormant, is better than late spring planting, when tHe buds are starting into growth. If the p.ant'ng must be delayed, the trees may he kept dormant linger by re moving thenii front the trench, turn ing them over, and again healing I them in. ! n. Prune the trees 1o single .“whips” by removing their side branches, and cut back the top from !24 to 30 inches in height. If, how ever, the nursery trees have strong lateral limbs, tvell spaced, he re !puis te number may 'be retained as the. frame work for the tree when it . is planted. ! Sambo’s Reply.
