A rich garden loam, a summer droughtfollowed by fall rain, excessive wood stimulation, violentchanges of temperature in the winter, or other factorsunfavorable to the maturing of the wood, aggravate thedifficulty. The bursting of the bark is probably causedby the freezing and thawing of the tissues under theseunfavorable conditions. Both troubles are more injuri-ous to trees with exposed trunks. A low-headed andspreading top, soils not too rich, and cultural methodswhich favor the early maturity of the wood, lessen thedanger. The trunks may also be protected by a board,matting, or screen of some kind on the sunny side dur-ing the spring montns. G. Harold Powell.
