could have sufficient skill to m make ake ako that tree bear a moderate crop of fru fruit it every season mather rather than ihan a heavy cr crop i op one year and nothing tho next As the variety was so excellent they greatly desired a small supply at least every everk season season hei hel was assured that if whip off all the blos bomi somi on onno orio balf half or oatho tho tree top the p defoliated would yield a tu supply P the next season As he knew n v that if it the tree produced fruit on only one half hair the top there would bo be more than his family could iise lise use he lie reluctantly tried the experiment 6 ap clment iii in uhe the success of which he cherished che no confidence and whipped oft off every blossom to be seen within the area of about half of tile tree jiho althe result was just as it always will be similar clr circumstances cum stances there was a supply of fruit the follo following iving season reason on that part art of the tree from which the tiie blossoms had been removed while the other portion of tile the tym branches tim nelies nelles yielded no fruit the tho same result could have been attained bawl by whipping lp half or more of or bibs bius alb homs entire tree by byre re moving the blossoms the specimens of fruit would have been greatly lessened hence the energies of the tree treo would have been adequate to the perfect development of the limited crop arid and also tb the preparation pa ration of the fruit buds for the I 1 crop of the succeeding beason season there is one fact connected with this subject which most people have not failed to observe namely when the blow blon blossoms of the young fruit fruity or both haye have been deh def destroyed troyed by frost the trees the following season will bo be unusually fruitful
