ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

1t is safer to prune too little than too
much.
Moist earth and a cloudy day for
transplanting.
Gooseberries and currants are two
easily grown fruits. and there is sell
dom an oversupply.
The quality and size of fruit on old
bushes is much improved by thinning
OF the fruit or severe pruning.
The cause of moss appearing on the
stems of apple and other fruit trees is
wet, cold, undrained land or an exces.
siyely humid climate.
In saving garden seed gather when
ripe. DO not allow 1t to shell of. The
first matured Is the best and the first
matured will shell first.
A good mulch around fruit trees
helps to keep down weeds, keeps the
soil loose, moist and porous at all times
with little labor OF cultivation.
The time OF setting out OF fruit trees
is OF far less Importance than to see
that the right varieties are selected
