Fio. ,^2. — An example of correct pruning, well healc'l, but with water-sprouts developing. order, along the trunk and branches, whenever the equilib- rium in feeding conditions is disturbed and has to be ad- justed, as, for instance, when the tree has been heavily pruned, or .vhcn soil or light conditions have been changeti. Although they are not neces- sarily a detriment, it is evident that they interfere with the development of the regular crown and are therefore best removed. It appears that water-sprouts arc less likely to form if the jjruning is done after midsummer, whc a re- adjustment oi feeding conditions without this expedient seems to take place. In setting new trees, or in the case of plant material which has not been trained in the nursery to form its head at a desirable height from the ground, this should be attended to first. This height depends ujjon the species and the object for which the planting is done. In specimen trees, and especially trees of high stature, and decidedly in conifers, the crown should reach down almost to h" ' .'', In shade and street trees it is desirable to keep it en to fifteen feet above ground. In street trees and in ornamental [plantings, where several kinds of trees stand close to each other, the pruning knife may be used to advantage in preventing an undue expansion of crown. If this is done at regular and not too long intervals, interference between neighboring trees and the conse- quent influence on each other's form may be avoided and the operation be kept within the limits of a slight trimming Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Fernow, B.
