Apple, Pear, Plum, Cherry, and all other fruit trees except Peach, should have at least one-half of the length of the limbs cut away, leaving the trunk with a few side limbs cut well back, the center limb or leader to be a little longer than the side limbs. Peach trees should be closely pruned, leaving a trunk not more than 3 feet in height with a few short stubs of side limbs 2 to 3 inches long. If one-year "whips" are used, simply cut them off at 32 inches above the ground after planting. If you wish, we will prune one tree, root and branch, ready for planting, to show you how to prune the others. Cut all broken or bruised roots back to sound, clean wood. Always use a sharp knife. How to Plant. Study the cut carefully. Note that the holes should be of sufficient size to permit the planting of the tree or shrub with all the roots in their natural position. Notice that the hole is larger and deeper than necessary just to receive the roots, that allowance is made for carefully pulverized loose dirt in which the new rootlets can push out rapidly. Notice that the top soil is piled on one side of the hole, the bottom soil on the other. With a spade loosen up the bottom of the hole thoroughly pulverizing the soil; then put in 2 inches of well-rotted stable manure that is free from heat; do not use fresh green manure under any circumstances. On top of the manure put about 2 inches of well-pulverized soil, then place the tree in position, filling in the top soil first, working it into the roots of the tree with the fingers.
