46. Same as Fig. 45 after One Season's Growth. Pruning Mature Trees 137 shedding and insure a good crop of fruit. The practice of the most successful growers is to cut the tree back each year and cut out some of the new wood that may have been forced by the last pruning. When once the tree begins to bear good crops, there is less trouble about its shed- ding. Some other varieties are more tardy about blooming, and heavy pruning in the dormant season would only augment this objectionable charact...er. Such varieties often respond to June pruning ; and, if they do not, girdling in June will often prove beneficial. In girdling, a strip of bark one quarter of an inch in width and ex- tending entirely around the trunk may be removed ; but perhaps a safer plan is to remove vertical strips of bark one and one-half inches in width, leaving other strips of about the same width intact. If the wood is uninjured, these wounds soon heal and do not permanently injure the tree. It is difficult to say just how much the pear should be pruned.
