APPLE TREE NOT FRUITING. 



I would like to know if you can give 

 me information in regard to an apple 

 tree. It is four years old and has 

 liowered this season, but did not have 

 fruit and is growing very tall. Would 

 it be advisable to cut the top off or to 

 trim the branches? Any information 

 you can give me in this regard will be 

 greatly appreciated. C. M. 



It is probable that you have failed 

 to prune your tree as is necessary for 

 a few years in order to get it into a 

 good shape. The pruning would have 

 consisted of shortening back new 

 growths half their length and remov- 

 ing small branches which seemed to be 

 <rowding others. If you have not done 

 any pruning it may be necessary to do 

 .so now. but do not do it too radically. 

 If cut hack severely you will only get 

 .1 lot of rank growths. Head it back 

 moderately after the foliage has fallen 

 and do not leave too much wood in. 



Apple trees, except dwarfs, do not 

 fruit to any extent for from eight to 

 ten years. Therefore, you need not be- 

 come discouraged at your tree not bear- 

 ing yet. Perhaps you are giving it too 

 Tnuch nitrogenous food. This promotes 

 a strong but not fruitful growth. To 

 check this feed another year with pot- 

 ash and phosphoric acid, and do not 

 use any barnyard manure, bone or other 

 fertilizers containing nitrogen. Culti- 

 vate €»eely about.lihe tree until the end 

 of July, but not later. C. W.

 We should impress upoo» the Avorld the 

 fact that the nursery salesman is a use- 

 ful citizen and that his persuasive powers 

 are needed to add that spark of hope 

 and energy that induces men to plant 

 orchards and beautify their homes. We

 fragrance and a paradise of plenty, are 

 doing their duty and fulfilling the de-

 The public seeilis willing enough to 

 honor the agriculturist. We should re- 

 mind them that the nurseryman is the 

 highest type of agriculturist. The 

 nurseryman pnts more labor into, and 

 spends more money on, the cultivation 

 of an acre of gi*ound than any other 

 tiller of the soil. He spends most of his 

 days mid fragrant flowers and growing 

 trees. His mind is employed trying to 

 understand more of the laws of life and 

 growth. For him the secrets and beau- 

 ties of nature have a peculiar fascina- 

 tion. As he stirs the soil to warm it up,
