ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The average life Of raspberry planta
tons is about six years.
With grapes the rule should be to d 9.
deep and plant shallow.
For roofing the best cutting of q
plant is a shoot of new growth just be
fore it grows woody or at all fibrous.
Trees about the house make it more
attractive and homelike, besides shield
ing it from the cold winds of winter
and the hot suns of summer.
Cut the young trees back when plac-
ing them in the ground and also trim
off some of the roots. especially those
that are bruised or broken in any way
Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds
of exhausted soil The trees will make
a growth Of leaves and wood on poor
land, but they require mineral manure
to perfect the fruit
In most cases when planting shaGe
trees the hardness of the trees should
be given preference over rapid growth
1t is of no advantage to secure a shade
tree early only to have it die WHEN
most useful.
