PRUNING 



Tnis is a very puzzling subject to beginners in horticulture, 

 or to newcomers from Eastern States, and experience only will 

 give a thorough knowledge of it; but a few general statements on 

 it might be of material assistance, while leaving them free to adapt 

 their methods to their own localities, climate, or the special needs 

 of their trees.
