REGISTERING ORCHARDS. 



Much inconvenience and often many mistakes arise from 

 not preserving the names of varieties in young orchards. 

 The trees are received, correctly labelled, from the nursery ; 

 the labels are left on till the wires cut the limbs, or until 

 effaced by time, and the sorts are forgotten. Always draw 

 on paper a plan of the orchard, marking the place of each tree 

 and its name ; it saves much subsequent confusion when labels 

 are lest.
