The removal of dead and broken branches and the smoothing and proper dressing of badly made wounds is, of course, the first concern of the pruner. The removal of green branches has usually for its object the regulation of the form, in order to favor invigoration, or new formation in other parts. Every branch or twig cut produces a change in the development of other branches or twigs, because these now enjoy different light, food, and water- supply. The skilful pruner keeps in mind, therefore, what new develop- ment will be induced by cutting away branches, and cuts accordingly, either to strengthen a weaker mem- ber by removal of a stronger, or to help a stronger one by subduing double edged° prunmg superfluous feeders, favoring either ^^^' the leaders by the removal of side branches, or inducing the spread and compacting of the crown by heading back the leaders. And, in pruning for form, he keeps in mind that the heading in of young shoots tends to develop dormant buds; that the tendency of most species is to develop the uppermost buds rather than those at the base of the shoot; that heavy pruning at the top tends to invigorate and produce better development of the lower portions, and vice versa. Of superfluous parts to be removed are the water-sprouts or suckers, for, as their very name indicates, they are rob- bing other branches of food materials. Water-sprouts are branchlets, arising from adventitious buds out of regular. Fig "Lightning.
