POLLINATION—It is advisable to plant two or more varieties of plums, as many varieties do not self-pollinate. AMERICA—Very early, hybrid. A full brother of Gold, the sensational $3,000 plum. Same parentage—a cross between Burbank and Robinson (Native). From the far-reaching experimental hybridizing of 20,000,000 cross- bred seedlings by the great scientist, Luther Burbank, came two grand plums—Gold and America; it was then plum growing re- ceived its greatest impetus. America is large, glossy, coral red, one of the most beautiful and delicious plums ever grown. In our orchard it is the one variety that can always be depended upon for a crop. Tree large, very vigorous, thoroughly hardy, bears extremely young, and bears enormous crops every year. Succeeds everywhere. Eating, cooking, market.

GOLDEN (Gold)—From twenty million native, hybrid and cross-bred seedlings, grown by himself, Luther Burbank made this his first choice. This was also his first great origina- tion; and though since he produ many, many fruits, never has he produced one that can surpass or equal in all respects the Golden. Though a small dwart-like tree, with small slender limbs, this is one of the hardiest, strongest trees. The finest plums and one of the most beautiful, a light transparent golden yellow, almost covered with a lovely blush. In nearly every state of the Union this plum has been fruited and from them all come fine reports. This plum is at its best on dry, thin or clay soil. Leave fruit on the tree until it becomes highly colored and then it is delicious. HANSKA PLUM—The color of the Hanska when fully ripe is a deep bright red, with firm flesh and of high quality.

Cut tops back to six or twelve inches above the ground when plant- ing. Such trees will bear fruit and will stand much colder weather than if the sprouts are allowed to grow. BLAKEMORE BLAKEMORE—The new strawberry that is creating a sensation among strawberry growers everywhere it has been grown. This berry, originated by the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, is a cross of Premier and Missionary.

You can depend on Premier for a good crop when other varieties are a failure. 6. Foliage is not susceptible to the leaf spot which: has ruined many strawberry patches.

The demand for Aroma plants is tremendous, there is never enough to supply the de- mand.

KLONDIKE (Improved)—This is the stand- ard berry for the southern and middle states and does fairly well in the north- ern states. Productive, brilliantly colored and so firm that on the northern market it classes a re-shipper; that is, a berry firm enough to re-ship to the smallér tributary markets and therefore com- mands top-notch prices. » SENATOR DUNLAP—This is a great pro- ducer and a money maker and a good, all purpose variety.

YOUNGBERRY YOUNGBERRY Ea., 8c Doz.,80c 100, $6 The new Youngberry has achieved great success. It not only bears heavily but the fruit is easy to handle; it is very attractive, ships well, keeps well and cans well. It has so many commercial possibilities and it fits in so well in the home garden that everybody should be interested in having a few vines or a commercial planting. The Youngberry is the result of the careful and patient efforts of ’ Mr. Young in crossing the Loganberry and - the Texas Dewberry. It has given the world a choice berry with characteristics in size, — appearance, flavor and general usefulness that has opened new possibilities in berry culture. Youngberries are universally liked and eas- ily grown. They are among the largest ber- ties; of dark wine color, have a minimum of seed, highly flavored and yield a rich looking cherry colored juice. In the home garden you will find that more fruit will be produced from a few Youngberry vines than any others that will grow on the same amount of ground. Youngberries thrive where any other berry fruits grow but do best in states of the same latitudes as Ohio and south. There is a great and increasing demand for Youngberries. There is no fruit capable of yielding greater profit. There will usually be from 150 to as high as 250 cases of 24 quarts from an acre, and that is usually consistent to figure on an average of $100 to $150 per acre after paying for packing, boxes and express. For field culture plant three feet apart in tows six feet apart. For garden culture plant four feet apart in rows five feet apart. Thornless Youngberry A sport of the common type and is almost identical except that the canes are entirely thornless, and as smooth as velvet to handle with the bare hands. This, of course, is a decided advantage both when training and trimming canes or when picking the fruit. During past severe winters the Youngberry has proven ‘Thornless”’ considerably hardier than the common. Yield is very heavy; in fact, a one- year plot test showed the Thornless type to outyield the common Young- berry by twenty per cent.

The Boysenberry is a new variety produced by crossing blackberries, taspberries and Loganberries. The flavor is a very pleasing blend of these varieties. It has few and soft seeds. The plant is very vigorous and hardy, coming through in good condition, without injury, in temperatures as low as 10 below zero. The berries are ex- tremely large, many of the berries getting more than two inches long and over one inch in diameter. This answer is published in the Ar- kansas Gazette in Questions and Answers: Q. What berry produces the largest fruit? A. The Boysenberry is the largest of all berries, often reaching a length of two inches. It was originated by Rudolph Boysen, superintendent of Parks, at Anaheim, Calif., and is a compound hybrid. ; Sensational THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY Each 20c; Doz., $2.00 100, $15.00 Probably the biggest berry ever de- veloped. Imagine berries lz to 2 inches long, so large that 20 make a pint, and are so productive that 100 planis produce 50 gallons of fruit the second summer. That is the record of Boysenberry. The beautiful wine- red fruit combines the delicious flavors of Loganberry, Blackberry and Rasp- berry, of which it is a cross. No new fruit in many years has caused such a sensation as Boysenberry.

You will not make a. mistake in planting largely of this variety; vines do well on arbors, walk shades, back yard fences, etc. Planted 6 to 8 feet apart, around your home, in back yard, etc., a few vines are valuable for quick and everlasting shade and for a perpetual source of fine grapes. Some vineyards are producing more than $150 worth per acre before they are out three years. In many instances the first crop will yield enough fruit to pay for the land they are growing on, for the vines and for all the cultivation and hoeing that has been done on the vineyard. Grape vines are said to be longer lived than apple trees. It is claimed from good authority that grape vines will grow and produce valuable crops from 50 to 75 years. They bear full crops when other fruits fail, when long drouths cause a failure in grain and cotton crops. In fact, they are the most dependable for paying crop of anything in the agricultural line. The larger part of the vineyards planted and being planted are being set 8 feet in the rows and making the rows 10 feet wide, requiring 545 vines to plant an acre. Vines begin to bear within one year after planting them. The two-year vines often bear fruit in the nursery rows. PLANT BEARING-SIZE VINES... You can realize your desire to have grapes from your own vines, a lot of them, | next year, and a few this year, too, by planting ‘Bearing Size’’ Grape Vines. “Bearing Size’’ Grape Vines are simply selected vines that are properly cultivated, sprayed and pruned for two years. They would bear their first crop this fall if left where they are. They are grown especially for gardeners who want vines that will bear in as short a time after planting as practical. “Bearing Size’ Grape Vines have vigor- ous canes, and a heavy mass of roots to correspond. They are dug, handled and packed with extreme care, so as to save all the roots, preserve the canes without injury, and get the vines into your hands in perfect condition to plant. If carefully planted, spreading the roots naturally in moist, rich soil, and cutting the canes back about one-half, they will bear some grapes the same season planted, and produce nearly a full crop the next. If we are out of any items your order calls for we will substitute with one as good or better, unless you tell us not to substitute. CONCORD AND GRAPE VINES OF SUPERIOR QUALITY These “Bearing Size’’ Grape Vines are produced by planting cuttings taken from vineyards that are famed for their produc- tion of quality grapes. The cuttings are set in our planting grounds here in the mountains. In this fertile soil, with its bracing atmosphere and long growing sea- son, and with the best care of cultivation, these develop into extremely hardy, vig- orous stock that makes rapid growth and produces wonderful crops of grapes, wher- ever planted.

September 16, 1948. Dear Sirs: We had the pleasure of driving through your lovely state this past July. As we oassed through Rogers, we admired your beautiful bed of Cannas, near the highway, so very much that we stopped and purchased two dozen of the mixed ones, just hoping they would live, as we realized July was not the month to transplant them, especially in Texas. I want to take this opportunity to tell you that all the Cannas lived and are still bloom- ing. In fact, they never did wilt. They are beautiful and we are very proud of them. We will certainly recommend your nursery and will stop by if we are ever passing through that part of the country again. Mrs. John R. Naylor. OUR ONE OBJECTIVE Is to furnish you with the very best that is to be had in all kinds of nursery stock, ornamentals and plants. CUSTOMERS’ QUESTION BOX In this column, we try to give you the answers to representative questions from . our daily mail, in hopes that they will be of interest to you. Q. Can I plant strawberries this fall? A. Most experts recommend spring plant- ing. Even if planted in fall you couldn't expect much crop the first year, and freezing and thawing might heave out of ground and kill them. Q. What perennials can be planted in the fall for blooms the following year? A. Almost any kind of strong plants. Q. Why don’t my peonies bloom, A. Very deep planting is often the trouble. Move to a new location. Plant with eye two inches below soil level. They need plenty of sun, rich soil, and plenty of water. Q. When is the best time to plant tulips? A. Plant tulips in October or November. Plant to a depth of 4 inches. A mulch over the bulbs will help. Q. Can I plant raspberries and blackberries in the fall? A. Either time is equally good, but nursery- men offer them in the fall as they usually don't get time to dig them in time for shipping. Q. Can all fruit trees be planted in fall? A. All of the fruit trees that we list in our catalog can be planted in the fall, very successfully. Q. How should I prune my raspberries and dewberries? A. Raspberries, blackberries, dewberries and boysenberries should have the old stock cut off in the fall after they quit bearing. The new stock that comes out is what makes the berries. This should be done each fall to have berries tha following season. : INSECTS AND Spraying Guide for Fruit MATERIALS DILUTIONS One Gal. of Water - 50 Gals. of Water TIME TO SPRAY DISEASES Scale, Insects and Lime-Sulphur Sol. 5-7 gallons Before the buds swell.

Kills Shot Hole Borers with Homemade Mixture "Here is my method of controlling shot hole and other borers in my orchard,’’ says John Whiteside of Illinois. “I take a half-gallon of liquid lime-sulphur, a quart of hydrated lime, four ounces of crude carbolic acid, and a pint of flour, first mixing the lime-sulphur and carbolic acid together and then the flour and hydrated lime, after which they are all mixed, stirring well all the time. I paint this material on trees of any age, from the bottom of the trunk up about 18 inches. The first application is made in late April and intermittently thereafter, until the middle of June. I put the mixture on the trees as needed, which can be determined by inspection of the trees.” HOW TO KILL PEACH BORERS: Use pure Paradichlorobenzene on trees when temperature averages 60 degrees F. Remove with hoe all weeds, sticks, etc., from trunk of tree for a space of 6 to 12 inches. Remove any thick masses of gum on the trunk of tree. Place from 3%, to 1Y2 ounces of Paradichlorobenzene in a narrow band 2 inches from trunk of tree. Do not place the crystals against the trunk for serious injury might result. Then place 4 to 6 shovels full of dirt over crystals, mounding up toward the trunk. Leave 3 or 4 weeks, then tear down mounds. Should be applied in the fall. PEACH CURL: A fungus that attacks the twigs, leaves and blossoms of the current season's growth and causes the leaves to puff and fold and makes the edges curl inward. Sprays should be applied some time during the dormant season before growth starts. For each 100 gallons of spray, use 12% gallons of commercial liquid lime-sulphur. If an oil Bordeaux is desired, for each 100 gallons oil spray use from 3 to 4 gallons of boiled or cold mix lubricating oil emulsion plus Bordeaux 6-6-100. These sprays will control both peach leaf curl and San Jose scale. Where scale is not present, Bordeaux 6-6-100 or lime-sulphur solution at the rate of 7 gallons in 100 gallons of soro~ will control peach leof curl. HOW TO KEEP RABBITS FROM GNAWING FRUIT TREES: Paint trees with the following mixture using 1% gallon of lime-sulphur, 3 pints of water, Y pint of common flour, 1 lb. lime. Should be painted about 2 feet high for cotton tails and about 3 feet for jack rabbits. Apply in late fall or early winter and then again about February Ist. ROSE MILDEW: A light sprinkling of sulphur flour will generally check this. If this isn’t beneficial, dissolve 1 ounce of potassium sulphuret in 2 gallons of cold water and apply as a fine spray. BLACK SPOTS ON ROSES: A disease of fungous nature that appears as a black spot on the leaf and later turns yellow and falls. It usually occurs in the latter part of the season. If it has appeared in the past on your planis a spraying in April, before the foliage appears, with Bordeaux Mixture will be necessary as a correction. BAG WORMS ON EVERGREENS: May be controlled effectively by spraying with arsenate of lead, using 3 lbs. of powder in 100 gal- lons of water as soon as the larvae have all hatched, that is some time early in June. In case a few trees are affected, handpicking the bags in the fall or early spring is an effective measure. RED SPIDERS ON EVERGREENS: Weiting trees during the hot part of the day and then immediately dusting them with finely powdered sulphur, thoroughly coating the foliage when temperature is above 70 degrees, is most effective. Usually requires more than one appli- cation. SCHEDULE ON APPLYING SPRAYS: Write to your State Experiment Station for informalion on when and how to spray your fruit trees. Or ask your local dealer and he will be glad to give you this information. SEEDLINGS: Do not allow your trees to sprout out below the top bud or graft as the trees will be seedlings when allowed to sprout. Break off all sprouts that come out below the top graft or buds so that the trees will be true to name.

Fruit trees should be cut back to 15 to 24 inches above ground to give the roots less top to support and to make trees head out low near the ground, shading the bodies. In case of two- and three-year-old trees, if there are no good eyes or buds on main trunk, cut top off, leaving two or three branches, which should be cut back to three or four inches long. Shade trees should be cut back heavily. Ten-foot trees, to seven feet; twelve-foot trees to eight or nine feet, others, in pro- portion. Flowering shrubs, cut back half. Privets and Ligustrums, one- third to one-half. See under PECANS, ROSES and BERRIES for details. Evergreens that are Balled and Burlapped need little, if any, pruning, unless extra large. LATER PRUNING As fruit trees grow, cut off sprouts coming from below ground or below bud or graft. When of bearing age, limbs that rub against others, or are weak or too thick, should be removed. Water sprouts that come from lower part of trunk and main branches, under the shade of the tops, should be cut off. Ex cessive growth inside of tops, shaded and crowded, is worthless and a drain on trees. Pruning of old trees should be done in January and February. When limbs are removed, they should be cut smooth against main branch, leaving no projection or spur. When fruit trees are ten to fifteen years old and begin to de- cline, tops can be dehorned by cutting them back fully half way. Good crops will result after first year.

Large wounds made by pruning should be painted with ordi- nary house paint. Flowering shrubs should be cut back half way every winter, except early spring bloomers, such as Spirea, Japan Quince, etc., which should be pruned after blooming time. If old flowers of Crape Myrtle and other summer blooming plants are rernoved before seed is made, almost continued flower- ing will result. Otherwise, they will flower only once or twice. Evergreens can and should be pruned any time of the year, if growing too large or becoming ragged. Some pruning is necessary for Broad-Leaf Evergreeens to keep them compact and in bounds. CARE AFTER TRANSPLANTING PRUNING TREES AND SHRUBS. After trimming back and pruning the limbs of ornamental trees, when planting, they need only enough trimming to shape them properly. Low side limbs should be removed to raise the head until after two seasons’ growth, when they may be gradually removed until the head is at the desired height. Shrubs need heading-in of the limbs getting out of bounds and the cutting out of older wood occa- sionally to keep them in proper form. The general rule is to trim fall blooming shrubs, like hydrangeas, in the spring, and - spring blooming shrubs, like spireas, in the early summer di- rectly after they have bloomed. CULTIVATION. Frequent shallow cultivation will produce a dust mulch and conserve much needed moisture in the soil. That is the most practical method of handling larger plantings. It should not be continued after the middle of August, otherwise the trees may not have time to mature and harden in prepara- tion for winter. IN THE ORCHARD it is best to cultivate all trees the same as you would corn, for sev- eral seasons, until they are large enough to shade the ground between them. During the summer it is a good practice to put in a leguminous cover crop. A cover crop will protect the soil and help prevent blowing and washing. It improves the chemical and physical condition of the soil by adding humus. MULCHING. For only a few trees, shrubs, etc., a mulch of such materials as grass clip- pings, old strawy manure, marsh hay or dead leaves may be used instead of a dust ~ mulch. the number of trees or plants per acre. WATERING. Artificial wicioung: as an Rae gency measure in case of drouth, is highly No. of trees desirable. In any case water thoroughly. 435 Do not sprinkle. Give the plant all the water it will take at one time. No more 360 water need be applied for several days when this is done. ph BRA ry, eras pe ry 302 FERTILIZING.
