THE chEckEReERRY.

A Wild Plant Which Lately Has Been
Given Place in the Garden.
Among the uncultivated plants may
be named the checkerberry. Why has
not this little evergreen plant. with
its delicate white blossoms of mid-sum-
mer. and its attractive crimson fruit of
mid-winter. been given a pace In the
ornamental garden? 1t is because of
the belief that it will not t4ke kindly
to cultivation; or it is because its
beauty and usefulness is unknown. II
the former. we are glad to be able to
say something from practical expen-
ence
This plant. when properly treated,
grows well in the garden, but it
will not do to set it on Guilt
waited land and surround it with hot
pulvcrized earth; under such treatment
1t burns and becomes an unsightly
plant. To have the chcekcrberry do
well. it must be given SIMILAR treat
ment that 1t has in Its natural home.
Those who are familiar with this plant
we'll know that when found growing on
land that has had q crop of white pine
timber cut from it within few wears.
the plants are strong. and at the proper
season will be found we'll loaded
With fruit Of very large size. This
teaches that 1t is . plant that does not
do best in the shade. although frequently
found growing there. with NO fruit on
it. but that it is plant that needs sun
shine to bring it to full perfection; It
also teaches chat it needs to have the
soil covered with decayed leaves. 20

run in.
After having repeatedly tried ana

fruit in the shade, IN effort was made
TO initiate nature - near Is possible.
A small plot Of land was prepared By
first covering 1t with . rich vegetable
mould made Of decayed leaves. then,
early in thespring. good healthy looking
vines were taken from among the pine
stumps. and It once set in rows about
eighteen inches apart; when set the
ground was covered all over with pine
leaves. or needles, to the depth Of one
OF two inches. The plants did not
seem to ,realize that they had
been removed. but when the
growing season opened the new
shoots came up very thick. and on
most Of them there were numerous
blossoms, which produced . good crop
