FRUIT TREES SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF 
Plums 
Plums and Prunes being sprawling growers, the trees 
should be pruned quite severely until five years old, after 
that the pruning should be confined to removing interfering 
branches and dispensing with the shortening in of the side 
branches.

Figs 
After the first winter cut the branches back to twelve 
inches and cover the wounds with grafting wax, leaving not 
more than four branches to make the head of the tree. The 
second season cut not less than two-thirds of the new 
growth, leaving not more than two shoots on each of the 
frame work branches. After the third season shorten in 
the new growth about half and in after years there is little 
pruning necessary except to remove branches which cross 
and interfere with each other.

ment in the third winter and the checking of rank growth in 
the fourth and subsequent years.

is black, one to one and a half inches long with a fine flavor. 
Commences to ripen in early summer and bears continually 
until late fall. 3 to 4 feet, $1.25 each. 
CITRUS FRUITS 
Great care should be taken not to allow the ball of earth 
around the roots to dry out before planting. When plant¬ 
ing do not break the ball of earth and leave the burlap 
around the earth, as this soon rots. The trees should be 
set from one to two inches deeper than in the nursery. 
Leave a basin around the tree and fill this with water. 
When the earth is dry enough to break up fine, cultivate 
carefully and irrigate every ten days or two weeks, until 
the trees begin to grow; after that irrigation is a matter of 
weather conditions, but never allow the trees to suffer 
for water. Citrus trees being evergreen can be planted 
at all seasons of the year although the months of Mareh, 
April, May and June are considered the most favorable.
