Almost Sure to lave Almost Sure to Die around the trunk, will be sufficient to form a well bal- anced top. The limbs left after pruning should not be cut back so severely as recommended for some other classes. Plum—Cut back all branches to about two or three buds. After the tree has grown for a year, remove all but four or five branches, but do not cut them back. These buds will form the permanent framework for the top and subsequent growth may be pruned to meet the requirements or taste of the planter. Peach—These should be planted immediately on de- livery; or, if not prepared to do so, the roots should be buried in the ground. They will not stand exposure to the sun and air, and many are lost simply for the want of care. As soon as planted, cut back all side branches to within two or three inches of the main stem. Make this the invariable practice, and never de- viate from it if you wish to save your trees. The growth will be much more rapid and vigorous in con- sequence of this pruning, and by strictly adhering to it, and by immediate planting or covering the roots in the soil, very few, if any, trees will be lost. Peaches like all other stock we deliver, will be in fine condition, having been carefully handled and kept from exposure by us. If you do not follow our directions and meet with loss, the fault will be entirely with you. Grapes—These should be planted ten to twelve inches deep in holes large enough to admit roots without curl- ing them, pressing soil solid about roots. Cut vines back to within three or four buds of the roots. Keep the ground clean by cultivating; if impossible to culti- vate, mulch. Prune in February or early March, be- fore there are any signs of new growth—hence the im- portance of annual and intelligent Newly set 2-
