Photographed September, I9U1. Upright growers like the Akin should be well cut back leaving an outside bud as a terminal on each branc h. Spreading and slender branched trees >hould receive the same treatment except an inside bud should be left as a term- inal. Trees like the Ben Davis requite but little cutting back. No limbs should be left growing from the body of the tree but what are to be main branches of the bearing tree. The head- should be kept open so that the air and sunlight can pass through them. Mulching. Mulching is of the greatest importance and should never be neglected. Straw, grass, sawdust, etc. may be used and show id be spread around the tree for a space of four or five feet ami tour to six inches deep. Mulching i*> not only good for the young trees but is good tor bearing trees as well.
