Planting Fruit Trees
j. During the fruit harvesting season, intending planters will bo well advised to t;ike some stock of the varieties they intend to plant during the coming planting season. ' * The ultimate success of any fruit tree is governed to an important extent by the two years immediately following transplanting. If put into hungry ground, little or no strong growth will be made, but the tree will probably produce fruit the first year after planting. This has sealed the fate of many young trees. Home gardeners seldom have the courage to remove either blossom or embryo-fruits, but are rather inclined to cherish them as an indication of their 6uccess in fruit culture. The tree, however, which is allowed to carry a. crop too soop, will be stunted and weakened 60 severely that years may be wasted ia repairing the damage.
