PLOI TEfeES AS BUSHES. 



There is, perhaps, no fruit tree so easily kept Adthiii 

 bounds as the phim. In rich soils thev bear annual 

 removal with but a slight check ; but in most soils 

 biennial romoval will keep them in a perfectly irnit- 

 ful state in bush culture. This is absulutcly neces- 

 sary; and if the snil be poor, some thoroughly rotted 

 manure (almut half a bushel to each tree) may be 

 mixeil with the soil in replanting. As with pear trees, 

 the best season for lifting or rcino^'ing them i? the 

 end of October or beginning of November. Plam 

 bushes have the advantage of being ca>;i]y ]M-otofted 

 liy a square of light cheap calico, titl'any, (>r any liirht 

 material, thrown over them while in blossom, and a 

 ci'o]) of fruit thus iiisuivti. All tlic varieties recom- 

 mended i'or ]iyramid8 may bo eultivafcd as bushes, 

 and, for suliurhau gai'dcns, tlu\v should he subjected 

 to exactly I lie same treatment as reconnuended for 

 a])ple buslies, p. tiT.
