I have nectarine tree in Rly yard which flowers
well and has plenty OF fruit but il all drops before
being ripe Iwouid be pleased If you can tell me
how to cultivate the nec;arine.-Elsie, Harrisburg,
Pa.
Ans. The nectarine requires TO be treated the
same as a peach; in fact it is only smooth
skinned peach. We apprehend that the fruit
is stung by the plum curculio, which causes it
TO drop. We have heretofore published cur
culio remedies in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Will the plant which produces the fiber called
Ramie flourish IL this State?-Yours. &c, 6. R.,
New Jersey.
Ans. Probably the plant would withstand the
winters ia the most southern portion of New
Jersey; but fits culture ever proves profitable
itmay be planted yearly like potatoes, the roots
being lifted and stored where they will not
freeze during winter.
Is itagood plan to leave the rnowings on a Young
lawn which was made this spring? have been
removing the cut grass, but have been told the
proper thing s to let it remain to protect the roots
Amelia, Baltimore county.
Ans We do not advocate the plan of allow
ing cut grass to remain on lawn at any time,
be the lawn young or old. We have tried it
under all circumstances, and our experience
warrants this opinion.
have hitherto been unsuccessful In my efforts
to grow and flower the Australian glory-pea, Ctidr-
thus DdnpieA. would be greatly indebted if you
could give me some advice how best to sow the
seeds, the kind OF SOIL and whether it should be
kept wet or dry.-Airs. Ferguson, Toledo, Ohio.
Aits. This plant puzzled us for several years.
We always started the seed in pots, got plenty
Of plants but lost them when planted out, and
they came to nothing if left in tho pots. OF
late years we have had fine plants and
plenty Of flowers by choosing rather sandy soil
and throwing it up in a rounding mound five
or ST inches high, then sowing the seeds on top
of the mound, and leaving them undisturbed
| They do not need watering even In the dryest
weather; watering them is sure destruction,
accordingto our experience.
| In giving advice on growing hedges, observe
that some writers say, prune in the spring if you
want a vigorous growth while others advise fall
and winter / would be glad 10 know if it makes
any difference whether they pruned in fall or in
| spring.-Live Fence Center county, Pa.
Ans There is great difference in the early
summer growth of plants which are pruned
Immediately after the leaves drop in the fall as
compared with those pruned in spring. The
| fall pruned plants will be much more vigorous
and be much in advance in growth over those
| pruned just before growth commences in spring
