should he cut away and the split bark 

 covered with grafting wax or bound 

 down with strips of burlap or cloth. 

 This should be done as soon as the 

 injury is noticed. The second form of 

 injury is usually not noticeable until 

 growth starts, unless the inner bark is 

 examined. This is usually yellow or 

 light brown. The growth of the tree is 

 late in starting and then the side buds 

 develop only small, slender leaves. The 

 side buds on the previous summer's 

 growth of wood often fail to start 

 growth, or after starting die before the 

 first leaves unfold. The bark often re- 

 mains green through the sunmicr and 

 dies the following winter. All branches 

 that fail to start, and those that make a 

 very poor growth, should be cut away 

 early in the season. The best cultiva- 

 tion and care possible should be given 

 to enable the tree to recover normal 

 vigor. Excessive pruning often does 

 more harm than good. I'lant some crop 

 in the orchard in midsummer, or cease 

 cultivation and irrigation early enough 

 to cause the trees to thoroughly ripen 

 their wood before cold weather occurs.

Calif oi'nia is this year holding two great 

 universal Expositions, one at San Franciaco 

 and the other at San Diego, in celebration of 

 the completion of the Panama Canal and the 

 joining of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 

 These two Expositions represent an expendi- 

 ture exceeding one hundred million dollars. 

 To supply the demand for reliable and 

 authentic information on these Expositions 

 and California, we have published two beau- 

 tiful books; one on San Francisco, the Eixpo- 

 sltlon and Northern California; the other on 

 Los Angeles. San Diego, the Exposition and 

 Southern California; also a lithographed view 

 of San Francisco in colors (size 30x45 inches). 

 a picture of the rebuilt city, including the 

 Ehtposition. Each book is 6x9 inches, con- 

 tains nearly 200 pages and many beautiful 

 illustrations. 



These two books and large bird's-eye view 

 give a comprehensive, honest history and de- 

 scription of the state, her principal cities, 

 resources and her two great Expositions. 

 Sent prepaid for 35 cents each or all three for 

 a one dollar bill, money order, draft or check.
