leaving the terminal bud intact, a much 

 better shaped tree is developed. It is not 

 necessary to prune English Walnut trees 

 except in cases where some of the lower 

 branches interfere with cultivation. 



Cultivation in the North should be 

 stopped about the first of August, thus 

 halting the growth of the trees and giving 

 them a chance to harden their wood for 

 Winter. This is a good plan to follow in 

 the cultivation of nearly all the smaller 

 fruit trees. 



When planting on the lawn for orna- 

 mental purposes a ring from two to three 

 feet in diameter should be cultivated 

 about the base of the tree. 



The tender varieties that have been used 

 in Southern California must riot be experi- 

 mented with in the North, as they bloom 

 too early and are almost certain 

 Selection t o be caught by the frost. These

of Varieties varieties have been tried in Nor- 

 thern California without success, 

 and the venture is quite likely to be disas- 

 trous in any but the warmest climates.
