great size and are, therefore, well
adapted to limited ground
Plants breathe through the leaves,
hence it is important to keep the
foliage clean.
Allowing dust to gather on the
foliage often causes the death of
house plants in Winter.
The ounce is greatly benefited
by heavy manuring applied late in
the Fall or early Winter.
Pruning the top of the tree to
correspond with the roots can gener-
ally be done best in the Spring.
Wash the tree with a mixture of
white wash, copperas and glue, to
keep rabbits from gnawing them.
A mound about a newly set tree

moisture and prevents injury by
mice
All trees and vines that are
sheltered from the winds will bud

posed.
When setting out trees of any

hole made to receive the roots of
the tree.
1t is claimed that phosphate
fertilizers give a rich, peculiar
flavor to grapes not obtainable in
any other way.

taken off by storms in Winter cut
off the broken part and cover the
wound with paint.
Pear blight is less abundant in
orchards where only fair growth
is made than among trees forced
along by strong manures.
Do not use any material for
mulching the Strawberries that con
tains seeds of any kind, as it will
increase the labor OF cultivation.
