GrO"Wth of Lime Trees.—The illustrations on this page (tigs. 1 and 2) show two interesting features connected with the growth of lime trees. If a lime tree is loosened or caused to bend over in the soil by wind, it can generally be righted again by means of props and manuring. Occasionally a tree completely Vilown down will recover itself as shown in tig. 1. This is an interesting illustration of the great vitality of the lime plant. Fig. 2 shows the eti'ect produced by planting lime trees too close together. The distances at which lime plants should be established vai-y according to the conditions of the estate, but 15 feet by 15 feet may be taken as the average distance, though when the soil is verj- good and the rainfall is abundant, 20 feet by 20 feet will probably be found more suitable. The trees in the illustration are as close as 6 to 10 feet Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readabi
