Soft wooded house plants should

Take the first lessons in fruit culture

All the fungoUs diseases of plants.

Pruning when the sap is active and

Fruit trees on the farm always help

If all worny fruit is destroyed as
soon as il falls. the orchard viii even

Nothing is so destructive to fungous
spores as fire. and all affected plants
or parts of plants should be burned.
For market pears should be harvest

When the summer growth proceeds
