This operation requires some skill or judg- ' 
ment in its proper performance, and this 
should invariably be done early in the 
spring—before the buds swell if possible- 
The branches should not all be cut off the 
first season, but enough should remain to 
elaborate by their leaves the sap of the 
tree; by this means it will continue healthy; 
also, if too many branches are cut off at once 
too much growth is forced into the grafts 
—more than the tender wood can support 
—and they are apt to be blown off by the 
high winds that occur during the summer; 
when this happens the trees are ruined,— 
and no skill can restore them. If a growth 
of sprouts spring out from the lower limbs 
and bodies, they should not be disturbed
