To estimate the number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance, multiply the distance between the rows by the distance between the plants, which will give the number of square feet allotted to each plant, and divide the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by this number, the quotient will be the number of plants required.

How to Lay Out an Apple Orchard

There are two ways, the old square and the new triangular. Below is shown the advantage’ of planting in the new way:

SPRAYING

HE necessity of spraying is acknowledged by all authorities as being one of the requirements of suc- cessful fruit growing. An enormous amount of money has been spent during the last few years in every state in the @nion for the study of sprays and mixtures and the value of each. Spraying not

only insures better fruit, but more of it, greatly increasing its quality and value.

STANDARD. PEARS

EARS do best in a strong loam, but succeed well in a variety of soils and on almost any land that

Pp will produce good vegetables or grain. ‘There is always a greater demand than supply of Pears of all varieties. Bartlett is, of course, the leading Pear and calls for the highest price in the market.

By a careful selection of varieties the Pear season can be extended from-July to February. Pear growing has been checked until lately by blight, which has affected this kind of tree, but this condition need not exist in the future. Dr. Waite, a practical Pear specialist, who has done much for the industry in the West, has shown that this blight can be controlled. Bulletins on this subject may be secured from the Department of Agriculture at Washington.

Following is a list of the best known varieties of Pears and prices of each :

PLUMS

HE Plum does best on a strong clay soil, dry and well drained. Here it grows the most thriftily and

- with cultivation suffers least from ‘‘Curculio’’ or ‘‘Black Knot.’’ ‘There is little trouble in keeping

the trees free from insects and disease. After the blossoms have fallen spread a sheet on the ground

under the tree. Then jar the tree so as to shake down the stung fruit and insects. "These should be burned.

This should be done every day for a week or more and it is important that it is done early in the morning.

CHERRIES

HE CHERRY being a very hardy tree will thrive on nearly any good soil, but does best in a warm, dry, sandy, gravelly or clay loam. ‘The most important thing is to have the soil dry ; no other fruit is so greatly injured by excessive moisture as is the Cherry.

The Cherry is one of the most profitable, if not the most profitable of all the fruits that are grown. More and more the fruit growers of the country are taking up its culture and enormous profits are being realized from young orchards. :

This variety of fruit trees requires so little care and cultivation that there is practically no cost or labor to keep up anorchard. Hence greater profits from the fruit.

Cherries are divided into two classes, sweet and sour; sweets being called Hearts and Biggarreaus, the sours Dukes and Morellos. ‘The sweets attain a larger size than the sours but are not as hardy and are more likely to be injured by bursting of the bark.

We have for sale this Spring some of the finest blocks of Cherries ever offered, and the prices we are quoting, ought to make this a record Cherry year.

PEACHES

EACH growing is to-day a great industry and there are a great many young orchards being planted throughout the country. The ease with which these trees may be cultivated, their freedom from

_ disease, the short period before they become productive, together with the immense demand for the fruit and the facility with which it may be'shipped to markets, make Peach growing extremely profitable.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees the ground must be kept clean and mellow, and should receive an occasional dressing of wood ashes.

To keep the trees in good shape it is necessary that they should be pruned yearly, useless wood cut out and light and air-let in.

RED RASPBERRIES

ASPBERRIES succeed best in a rich, mellow soil. ‘They should be planted four feet apart in rows five or 6 feet apart. ‘They are easily cultivated, only requiring manuring and cutting out of dead wood and suckers. Old canes should be removed after bearing season is over. If the location is

much exposed, plants may be protected from severe cold by raising the earth between the hills into a bank or mound. ‘Then bend down the plants to meet, fasten them and cover with a little earth or coarse litter. In the Spring uncover and tie to stakes.

GRAPES

«Pens require a warm, well drained soil, deeply worked and manured. Should be grown on aslope to the south or west, as they require lots of sun. Plant 8tol6ft. apart, according to variety, in rows 10 ft. apart. Plants should be thoroughly pruned in Nov. or Dec. when wood is ripe. Enormous profits have been realized from this fruit. Vines produce 40 to 50 Ibs. of fruit the fourth year from plant- ing, worth $4 to $6. An acre holds 680 vines. If each vine produced only $2 worth of grapes this would net $1,360 per acre. Following is a list of the more common, productive and hardy varieties :

HEDGING

but today they are planted extensively for ornament. Many beautiful effects are now possible and

it is needless to say that these fences of living green beautify our homes and are rapidly supplant- ing the old-fashioned picket and iron fences. Ornamental hedges may be either deciduous or evergreen. Probably the most widely planted of the deciduous hedges is the California Privet. It is faultless in character and trims to any shape. In our opinion, the Barberry Thunbergii for beauty and effectiveness. should lead the list. In planting it is necessary that the soil be well worked and thoroughly pulverized. It should be packed firmly about the roots, taking care to avoid all exposure.

N°: many years ago the only hedges to be seen were those used for defense or for defining boundaries,

Trees grow very fast and make a fine shade.
