The above prices are intended for the trade only 



tended by these men that inasmuch as 

 the crude materials drawn from the 

 soil and the air are manufactured into 

 plant food by the roots and the leaves, 

 it is learned that a reduction in the fo- 

 liage by pruning reduces the power of 

 the tree to nourish itself properly while 

 it is in the growing stage and conse- 

 quently when it reaches the fruit-bear- 

 ing stage its yielding capacity is cur- 

 tailed. 



In order to convince themselves that 

 the theory which they had propounded 

 was correct, they performed an experi- 

 ment in the orchard at Cornell. A num- 

 ber of yearling whips had the foliage 

 rubbed off the trunks, except for a 

 few inches on the terminal ends. The 

 check trees had no foliage removed. 

 At the end of the growing season there 

 were 149 leaves on the pruned trees;
