PERMANENT LABELS.
A Matter of Some Importance to
Horticulturists Who Want to
Keep names of Plants.

The little wooden labels which are
used TO mark the trees and plants sent
out from the nursery are not durable.
They are light affairs and generally are
fastened on with It piece of iron wire
which soon rusts off. If it does MOI rust
and break the limb will often grow
around it, and may become so injured
as to break off. The name is written
on with a common lead pencil and the
weather of one year will wear it off, and
thus the name is lost.
If it is desired to keep the name of
the plant on a label attached to it it
may be done in this way: Get a heavy
six or eight-inch label and rub it over
with white lead thinned with the least
bit of oil. Then with a soft pencil, and
before the lead is dry, write on the
name and anything else you may wish.
This will last for several years.
Now procure some No. IA or No. IL
copper wire and cut it in pieces a foot
or more long. Make a loop on each end,
give the middle a twist around the label
and hang it around a small branch.
hooking the loops together and pinch
ing them up tight. Such a label fas-
tened in this manner will last for years.

GROW PRIME FRUIT.
Those Who Do 1t and Get Acquainted
with the Consumer Are Bound
to Make Money.

Every grower of fine fruit should aim
with his customers. l have a friend
who grows superb berries, and in every
box he puts a ticket giving his name
and the variety of fruit. and in the
largest type he says: Price always
five cents above the market price
With berries selling at eight or ten
cents ordinarily he gets five cents more,
and that means a big profit. Can he
sell them? Certainly. He sells more
than any other grower in the county,
and gets his price. Then, too, his ber-
ries are so fine and large he gets them
picked for one-half cent less a quart
than others, and he makes it pay both
ways.
In the fruit growing of the future
there must be a cutting down of the
acreage of the majority of the growers.
They must grow larger and better
fruit, of greater beauty and higher
quality, and the grower who gets the
closest in touch with the will
get the highest price. Another thing
will be the production on a tremendous
scale by a few growers, by companies,
with certain lines of fruits in certain
localities suited to them. The small
growers might de better by coopera-
ton, perhaps, as to methods of pack
ing and selling and transportation, and
it will bring more money to pay some
specialist to place your products on the
market in more desirable shape.
l have not said anything of the home
supply. 1t is one of the most impor-
tant things of all. Every farm home
should have the greatest possible va
riety of fruit. You do not take interest
enough to do this now. perhaps, but
think it over, and you will see how i'm
portant it is. Plant your grounds with
beautiful trees and make home sur
~roundings beautiful. your lawn attract
i've with beautiful flowers and the in
side of your homes attractive as we'll.
