How to destroy the Fruit-F'oes.

Use Paris Green as Curculio Remedy; 1 pound Paris Green in 250 gallons
water. Spray as soon as the blossoms have all fallen, and never before, and repeat
the operation two or three times at intervals of ten days to two weeks. If the mix-
ture is to be used upon peach trees, 1 pound quicklime should be added.

Use Bordeaux Mixture as Black Rot Remedy for Grapes; dissolve 6 pounds
of sulphate of copper (blue vitriol) in 16 gallons of soft water, and slake 4 pounds
of fresh lime in 6 gallons of soft water; strain the lime through a sieve and stir it
into the copper sulphate. Never pour the copper sulphate upon the lime, as the re-
sult would be the formation of black oxide of copper, which is insoluble in water.
Spray in spring when buds swell and keep on spraying every two or three weeks.

Use Kerosene Emulsion as Cabbage- Worms and Aphis Remedy. Hard
soap 4 pound, boiling water 1 gallon, kerosene 2 gallons; dissolve the soap in the
water, add the kerosene, and churn with a pump from 5 to 10 minutes. Dilute 10 to
15 times before applying. For insects which suck, cabbage worms and all insects
which have soft bodies.

Jn Nordoft-Tera3 ijt eine Nursery,
welche Leftes Yahr 43 Agenten aus-
fandte. Wenn nun dieje 43 Agenten
100,000 Baume von einer Sorte ver-|
foujen und die Nursery hat nur 50,000,
jo jendet fie eben andere Gorten an
Stelle der fehlenden 50,000 unter fal-
fdjem Namen. Reidjen die veredelten
Baume nicht, fo werden eben Wildlinge
(Seedlinge) an deren Stelle gejanbt.|

Gollten atte Objtbiume frant

3 fimmt oft bor, dafi die Baume iiber-
reid) Fritdjte anjeben, twas Hauptjaclicy bei
Den amerifanifdjen Pjlaumen und vielen SPfir-
jichen der Fall ijt; dann ijt es nothwendig,
das Objt aussupjliiden. Diefes gefchieht,
Wenn die Frucht die Grofe einer fleinen Erbje
erteidjt hat. Das Wuspfliicen ijt eine mip,

felige Urbeit, dod) durdaus nothwendig, wenn
Man grofe, fine Fritdhte haben will. Halte
Deinen Objtgarten ebenjo rein bon Untraut,
wie Dein Baumwollenfeld und gebrauche
fleifig Cultivator und Gade und reinige
nidt, wie e3 meijtentheils gejdhieht, mit
Der Genje. Hebe alle Holjafde auf und
ftreue fie unter die Pfirfidje-, Pjlauen- und
Uprifojenbaume, da die Yjche fiir Die Stein-
objtarten bon fehr grofem Werthe ijt, Ujde
Und Miodjen prodigiven Friicte, Iwohingegen
Stalldiinger nur Hols ergengt.

Und iftes wdthig, wenn der Boden arm
ant Gifen ijt, mit Gijenfpahnen, oder wo feine
Au haben find, mit Copperas (Sulphate of
Pron) ut Diingen, da ebenfo wenig Frucht
| one) Eifer wachjen fann, al8 ein Menjd) ohne

Die eintraglthjte und am erjten tragende
Objtart fiir Mittel- und Siidweft-Teras ijt
die Pflaume. Darinter bringen die japane
jifchen Yeten die grifiten Fritchte, von fchoner
Form und Farbe und einem bejonders feinen
Yroma,

Mach der Plame folgt die Birne in reidh-
lidjem Grtrage der Srucht. Woh! wird der
Baum bedeutend alter, ehe er Frucht tragt,
aber er lebt auc) linger als jeder andere Objt
Haunt wid tenner alt genug ijt, bringt er
fidjere Grnten, Die Le Conte- und Kieffer
Birnen fangen mit 3 bis 5 Jahren an ju tra-
gen; andere Urten werden 6 bis 12 Fabre alt,
ehe fie die erjte Grnte bringen, Dann folgt
Der Pfirjich, Dann der YWpfel und dann erjt die
YUprifoje im Ertrag der Frucht,

Mf die verfdiedenen WUrten Fritchte tomme
id) jpater guriid, da es mir jest an Beit und
Raum fehl.

Qu der Hoffnung, daf, Obiges ein tlein
Wenig Dagu beitragen wird, die Objt-Kultur
in Mittel- und Siidweft-Teras gu firdern,
und dafy der cine oder andere Lefer ein wenig
Mauer daraus giehen und fic) einen guten
HObjtgarten anlegen moige geichnet achtinigs-
