Fall Care of Trees and Plants.

1t seldom occurs to those having the
care of trees and plants that there is need
of any particular care in the fall. If Il
good growth is made in the summer
months it is thought to be sufficient. In
many cases it would be, but, OH the other
hand. the fall is trying time on newly
SET set trees of the previous spring, and
for winter. In fact, much of what we do
in the fall should he with a view of pre-
pairing for the winter ordeal. During the
spring and summer it is proper to cult
vate continually raspberries, bluckberries,
currants and like plants. The hoe and
hoe-harrow should never rest. But after
this good cultivation, with the plants
cease when fall comes, or an undesirable
late growth will result. What is needed
at this time is sturdy, well-ripened wood.
Weeds must be kept down if rampant,
but with clean culture. through the sum
mer there will be no weeds of any ac-
count afterwards. Trees with unripened
cold of winter. Therefore stop cultiyat-
ing and stop watering heavily, where it
can be done. It has been frequently OBJ
served that partly tender raspberries.

oughly early in the season, whereas. when
in rich, damp localities, where growth
keeps up. late, they get badly winter
killed. The knowledge Of this is the &C.
cret possessed by many who successfully
winter many plants which others fail
with. What is wanted is perfect growth
during summer and perfect ripening dur
ing the fall. Perfect growth is not that
Of a tree which drops its leaves early.
The pear from which the foliage falls in

from some leaf blight, which will oper-

to stop, but we want foliage on the
branches until the proper period for fall
ing is reached. II believe in working hard
to keep up healthy foliage. Many gar
deners Of the old school believe it Of no
use to preserve the foliage Of strawberry
plants in winter. Some, in fact, NOW
