PRUNING AND ORCHARD SUPPLIES 
Proper pruning is beneficial to fruit and ornamental trees, vines, shrubs, 
etc., and a good pruner has ‘‘an eye” for the work. Practice makes per¬ 
fect, and good tools are a prime requisite. Your time and strength are too 
valuable to expend with poor tools. Get the best, without regard to price, 
and take care of them. Do not neglect to give the necessary care to your 
plants. Our list gives suggestions for the work the year round.
