Stringfellow of Texas, who has writ- ten much concern- ing it. The fulles presentation of Mr. Stringf el low's ideas will be found in his book, "The New Hor- ; It advises that practically all the roots be cut away and that the top be shortened to a straight stick one or two feet long, without side branches. It is the supposition that when trees are reduced to their lowest terms- iti tlii-- v-nv, rho nfw root-branches that arise will t:i' i â â i";r:il form and the tree will assume immf. i : ii ..f a seedling.
