Thousands of well - grown healthy specimens, delivered in first-class condi- tion, are annually lost through neglect and bad treatment. Avoid all unneces- sary exposure to the air. The natural place for the roots of trees is in the ground ; as soon as received they should be heeled in, so mellow earth will come in contact with all the roots. When planting take out but few at a time. One hour's exposure to hot sun or drying wind is sure death to many trees. More particu- larly is this the case with evergreens, as their sap is composed of a resinous matter which, when once dried, no amount of soaking in water will dilute and restore to its normal condition. It may be taken as an invariable rule that good fruit cannot be raised upon a soil which is wet or not well drained. It should be rich enough to produce a good crop of corn, and should be well prepared for planting by deep plowing and liberal manuring if not in good condition. Cut off the ends of all bruised or broken roots with a sharp knife, as a clean cut will heal much sooner than a bruise. If it be a standard tree for the orchard, trim it up to four or five limbs suitable to form the top, and cut each of the side limbs back to a bud four or five inches from the body of the tree, leaving the leader or central limb from eight to twelve inches long. When there are no side limbs suitable for this purpose, the tree should be divested of all its branches and headed back to a proper height to form the top. If the tree is to be trained in the Dwarf or Pyramidal form, the necessary pruning should be done by cutting ba
