alUITUM In PARVO

The following twelve paragraphs from an
old horticultural publication, are worthy Of
place amongst the most valuedirules that
should govern a we'll regulated home:
FRUIT TREES.
4. When fruit trees occupy the gronnd,
nothing else should--exccpt very short
grass.
2. Fruitfulness and growth Of the tree
cannot be expected the same year.
3. There is no plum that the curculio
will not take. though any kind may some
times escape for one year in one place.
4. Peach borcrs will not do much da-
mage when stiff hay is heaped up round the
tree foot high.
5. Pear blight still puzzles the greatest
men. The best remedy known is to plant
two for every one that dies
6. If you don't know how to prune,
don't hire a man from the other side Of the
sea, who knows less than you do.
z. Don't cut off big lower limb unless
you are renter and don't care what be-
comes of it when your time is out.
5. A tree with the limbs coming ont near
the ground is worth two trees trimmed up
Eve feet, and is worth four trees trimmed
ur ten feet, and 50 on until they are not
worth anything.
8. Trim down, not up.
10. shorten in, no. lengthen up.
II. II YOU had your arm cut of you
would feel Il At your heart--a tree viii not
feel, but rot to the heart.
II. When anybody tells you Of gar
dener that understands All about hortienl-
ture and agriculture. and that can be Lir-
ed, don't believe word Of il, forthere IRE
no such to be hired. Such q man can make
more than you can afford to give him, and
if be has sense enough to understand the
business. he viii also have enough TO know
this.
