HOW TO PRUNE AND PLANT MOLLER’S FRUIT TREES 
FRUIT TREES—On branched trees such as most 
Apple, Pear, Peach, ete., select three to five side 
branches on different sides of the trunk and 6 to 8 
inches apart and cut back about one-half (three-quar- 
ters on Peach stock) their length. Try not to leave 
two branches nearly opposite. Cut off the top of the 
tree to about 24 to 36 inches from the ground. Whip 
trees should be topped about 24 to 40 inches from 
the ground. 
SHADE TREES—Do not cut off the leader or main 
stem, but prune to avoid crowding branches, by thin- 
ning out the short branches, and cutting back all the 
other side limbs. 
Roots on all trees and plants should be trimmed 
back one-half inch or more, cut long roots to balance, 
cut off all broken or bruised roots.
