For the production of 
Trees, as well as men, have constitutions. Some men are 
strong, neallhy and vigorous, and capable of doing what they would 
otherwise not be, if they had not a vigorous constitution to begin life's 
work with. It is not possible for all men to start life with the bless- 
ing of a healthy constitution ; it is quite possible to so start all trees 
and plants if the simple requirements of the plant or tree are care- 
fully sought out. 
After many years of practical work and most careful observa- 
tion we are absolutely certain that the chief cause of so many short- 
lived, sickly and unfruilful trees is caused by improper plant food 
in the early life of the tree. 
Long since we have discarded the use of commercial and 
other fertilizers in startinj^ our trees and plants, as having a most 
disastrous effect on the long life, hardihood and fruitfulness of trees. 
The direct result is to produce soft wood in the early life of a plant, • 
which the rigor of an ordinary winter will affect, and so reduce the 
vitality of the tree, leaving it with a weakened constitution at an 
early age, from which it never fully recovers..
