npHIS WORK, since its first issue sixteen years ago, has become a 



standard book of reference for the conunerdal orchardist, as well 



as for the owner of the home garden, and nearly two thousand copies 



are sold eachJ^ear. 



It deals with the pruning of fruit trees and vines, from the time 



of planting till they cease to be worth retaining. While the best 



methods can only be demonstrated on the tree itself, much can be 



learned from diagrams, and, in consequence, the book has been pro- 

 fusely illustrated. 



The Apricot, Peach, Nectarine, Plum, Apple, Pear, Cherry, Almond, 

 Persimmon, Passion Vine, Lxjquat, Grape Vine, Orange, Mandarin^ 

 Lemon, Quince, and Fig are ^H fully dealt with. It is shown that 

 each class has its own individuality, and therefore the grower should 

 closely study the habits of each,, and prune tljiem insuch a way as 

 to ensure the most profitable crops from year to year.
