The above drawing illustrates 2-year and 1-year-old fruit 
trees as they are received from our Nurseries, and how they 
should be pruned either before or after planting. For Instance 
tree No. 1 is a 2-year-old tree and tree No. 2 is the same tree 
after being pruned; tree No. 3 Is a 1-year-old tree and tree 
No. 4 Is the same tree after being pruned. It is strictly neces- 
sary that all fruit trees be cut back at this tops as shown In the 
illustration. By so doing it gives the trees fine symmetrical 
heads and greatly lessens the shock of transplantation.
