 son for our work, although spring opened 

 later than usual. On account of winter 

 closing in so earlv we did not get the 

 iisnal amount of fall work done, and on 

 that account have been more than u.=uallv 

 rushed. Spring sales have been fully un 

 to the average of the last two years' and 

 the demand for many items has been 

 much in excess of the supply. ' '

now SO much the vogue, soon requires 

 attention to prevent starvation and mal- 

 formation of individuals. 



For a few years these close planta- 

 tions may serve the purpose of a nur- 

 sery, and surplus plants may. if needed, 

 be removed to other locations; but it is 

 only a very short time, comparatively, 

 until the ax must be used, and that 

 freely. If specimen plants are required 

 this thinning must be tindertak-en before 

 there is an actual contact between the 

 plants to give the necessary amount of 

 light and air. 



While the tools needed will be simply 

 the ax and the grub, yet there are fcv 

 operations which require more careful 

 study and pre-arrangement. In the case 

 of trees so many considerations enter 

 into the problem, that haste is impossi- 

 ble, and one should give ample time to its 

 solution. Those to be destroyed as well 

 as those to be saved should be viewed 

 from many positions and at many times. 



It takes a lot of nerve to cut away 

 vigorous trees, but it must be done. This 

 lack of nerve is undoubtedly responsible 

 for the many examples of crowded, dis- 

 eased and mis-shapen plantations to be 

 seen in public as well as private grounds.
