some old well-rotted manure. After the tree is set in the hole, work the soil in around the roots and firm with the foot as the 
hole is filled, leaving the last spadeful or two untrodden. Do not plant when the ground is too wet. Deciduous fruit trees 
should be pruned back severely after planting, usually 2 y 2 or 3 feet from the ground, leaving a few side branches where neces¬ 
sary, which are cut back to a few inches from the main stem. When the trees have been planted one year, cut back half the 
preceding summer’s growth. Frequent cultivating is necessary.
