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.

fine flavor. Commences to ripen in early summer and bears 
continually until late fall. 4 to 6 feet, $1.50 each. 
CITRUS FRUITS 
Great care should be taken not to allow the ball of earth 
around the roots to dry out before planting. When planting 
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 March, April, May and June are considered 
the most favorable.
