How to Grow Pure Turnip Seed

Good seed is half the battle, in al
most all branches of cultivation, but es-
pecially in turnip growing. To have
perfect stock. great care must be observ-
ed in the growing. gathering, and pres
ervation of the seed. The following is
the method Of securing perfectly pure
seeb practised by Mr.. Makins, Of Ber-
wickshire, England.
Select one good turnip, having a we'll
shaped, clean, and smoothed-skinned bulb
and transplant it in the garden in No
vember. Transplant along side of two
or three others of good shape to select
from, in case the first chosen should prove
mongrel. The genuine plant has flow
er of a uniform light color, each flower
producing a pod of seed while the spu-
rious plants have dark or unequalled col
oFed blossoms. Select the turnip with
the purest blossoms, and destroy the 9th
ers, protecting the reserved one with net
ting. WIDEN ripe, cut off the entire seed
stem; hang it in the granary until quite
dry; then clip off the pods, and keep in
paper bags until the time for sowing ar
rives. If Swedish turnip be selected,
mix its seeds with those of the common
sort before sowing, in order to make them
sow further and if a common turnip,
sow Swedes. Sow in drills in the usual
way, and then cut the plants that have

Trimming Fruit Trees.

An ornamental tree should seldom be
touched by saw or pruning knife. Road
side trees, and those in pastures and pub
lie parks must be trimmed up ten or fif-
teen feet from the ground, but Lawn trees
should generally spread their limbs upon
all sides in native luxuriance.
And this for beauty. We believe al
so, that for simple utility, fruit trees should
have very little hruning of their lower
limbs. Doubtless, one cause of the dis
eases to which such trees are subject, lies
in the exposure of their trunks to the hot
sun. The leaves need all the light they
can get. But not SO the limbs and trunk.
Keep them co ol and shaded, and the sap
will flow up and down from root and
branch uninjured. The injury from the
SUMS rays is probably as great in Winter
and early Spring, as in the Summer
A fter a severe frosty night in March, let
the bright sun shine upon the bark eff a
.7eaC or cherry tree, and it will be quite
sur re 20 burst it. In the northern region,
where we now write, we can count thou
sands of trees-apples, cherries. pears,
borse-che stnuts, lindens, and others
with large cracks or rotten places on the
soutb SIDE of the trunk. caused undoubt-
edlv in the, way above indicated. Now,
who will saw that if the lower branches
had been sufe red to grow on these trees,
thew would not have prevented these in
iuries {? There is a benefit to the soil, al
SO. in the treatment we recommend 1t
is kept moiste, cool, open, and IN ia
vorable condition for the growth OF roots.
Grass and weeds make but little trouble.
Mulcbing is seldom needed.
Low headed trees are seldow apt to
blow over. The blossoms and fruit are
less liable to be blown off by high winds.
IF insects invade the branches, they can
be more easily reached and extirmlnated
Grating can be done with great facility.
Fruit can be gathered with much ease,
and that which falls to the ground gets
little injury. The bark Of such trees is
less likely to be infested with vermln,
because it is bright and smooth, and OF
course there is little or no need of scrap
ing and washing the trunk and Hnabs.
! We presume, also, that such trees Wlll
be longer lived and more productive than
those trimmed up. The only objection
we have heard il. fhat in such iruii
ootagn on orchar1l nothing else Can be
4 grown between the .rees. Well, there
ought not to be. A we'll managed fruit

mans farm, and he ought to be satisfied

Dwarf Fruit Trees.

Dyarf trees are now much sought for
and largely planted, yet Judging from the
injuries concerning them, many are still
unacquainted with their pecularities.-
They are not as some suppose, new varl-
eties of dwarf habit, producing illiputian
fruit; but are the same sorts IN common
culture, propagated on peculiar stocks
which control the graft, checking growth
and inducing early fruiting.
Dwarf trees are especially adapted to
the village lot; the garden, the door yard
and limited grounds. BY observing lit
tie care in pruning and training, they are
made objects Of great beauty. What
more interesting than a miniature apple
orchard, the trees 6 or 8 feet apart each
way, 4 to 6 feet high, of handsome FORM

ally be grown on standards? Or pear

Isisu pretty well established fact that
apple trees-and we should add pear trees
-pruned from the middle Of July to the
middle of August sustain the operation
with much more advantage than if prun-
ed at any other period of the year. If
pruned at that time, the wound will heal
over, and make, what surgeons would say
of a properly amputated arm or leg, a
handsome stump. If the branches be
Topped in winter or spring, the stump gen.
orally leaves a perpetual scar; and If af-
ter the sap has commenced flowing, bare

until it rots away, when frequently the
decay continues on, as sort of gangrene
into the very heart of the tree, much to
It's injury. Who has not observed this IN
his experience!
We have more than once witnessed the
benefits of pruning in midsummer, and
have always been impressed with the ad-
vantages over the system generally pur-
sued. On one or two occasions, some
years ago, we adverted to the fact, and
now again call attention TO it, especially
as the season for trying it is at hand.
Six or eight years ago, a first-class
farmer upon leased place, trimmed the
apple trees in midsummer, at which the
landlord who had greater pretension to
farming than his tenant, was very indig-
