We have not space to so into all the details of tree surgery as Jlr. Withers it, but it was quite an education along this line. He deprecates the use of tar for cover- ing old wounds; tin nailed over them is also bad as the extremes of temper- ature draw the nails and loosen the tin. Board is also unsuitable as it cannot be so closely fitted as to exclude air. Good metallic paint of a slate color he re- gards as best for clean cuts and the con- crete for cavities. One frequent mistake Mr. Withers cited was that of allowing the concrete to extend too far out. It should come to the inner surface of the bark to enable this to spread naturally over it. Many other intensely interest- ing topics were touched on by Mr. Withers, who received the hearty thanks of an interested and appreciative au- dience. R. Privet Cuttings.
