. The California fruits and how to grow them; a manual of methods which have yielded greatest success, with the lists of varieties best adapted to the differenct districts of the state. Fruit-culture. First winter pruning. Second summer growth in orchard. In thinning out lateral bearing shoots seldom leave more than one at any point; select the strongest; remove the rest close to the branch. When a new shoot springs out at the base of an older one remove the older one; when a new shoot breaks out on the side of an older one cut the older one back to that point. In thinning always reject the older, weaker laterals or spurs. This does not apply to the outbreak of strong suckers or water sprouts; wherever they appear they should usually be cleanly cut away unless a new main branch is desirable. Pruning of bearing trees should always have regard to the re- moval of branches which have become decrepit through sunburn,.
