Hints to Fruit Growers.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In lieu of separate reply to
many requests for information con-
cernins fruit trees made during
my stay in Lexington, I beg permis-
sion to give it through your columns
Plan, your trees fully as deep as
they were before they were taken up.
Peach trees should be cut back about
eighteen inches from the ground,
care being taken to leave six or eight
buds below the cut. Apple trees, If
mere whips of three or four feet,
should have one-third of top cut of,
if limbed leave them as they are.
Pears, plume, cherries, apricots, mui'
berries. s., should be treated as
you do apples.
Look closely after your trees, keep
away borers, scales, Sc The borer
is easily found by gum and dust at
base. Ssn Jose scale cannot be de-
tected without lens, except by an
experienced eye. Dig out the borer
with the small blade of your pocket
knife. Keep him away with strong
hickory or oak ashes. about quart
to tree, the alkaline will keep this
pest at distance. The only treat
ment for San Jose scale" is spray
ing. A solution of whale oil soap, or
kerosene and water, (which latter
must be mixed with an apparatus
made for the business) will be found
ali that is necessary.
It is settled fact that no perfect
fruit can be grown without the
spray, about the only cost will be
the sprayer. The Bordeaux Mixture,
with q small addition of either Paris
green, London purple or Asevite of
lime is sure aud cheap insecticide.
Any further information regarding
spraying outfit, preparing the mix
ture or growing trees will be furnish
ed with pleasure.
Strawberries do better in fiat
moist place, have your land rich with
we'll trodden stable manure broad
cast and plowed in deep, harrow
down and mark off your rows about
thirty inches apart, with a small
scooter, set your plants about eigb-
teen inches apart, pack dirt tight
around the roots, leave land level.
II pine straw is convenient, it is fine
for winter and spring covering.
In conclusion, we beg leave to
.eturn thanks for the courtesies
shown Us by many new friends of
Lexington. Especially should We
like to express our Christian feeling
toward the Hon. Clerk of the Court,
Afessrs. Scott Hendrix, ". 2. Roof,
the banker, Brothers Ra~l, Amick
and others. Our pleasure was in
creased in meeting Capt. Sawyer,
father of our big hearted friend and
neighbcr, Brooks. Capt. Sawyer is
a gentleman of the old school, true
and brave.
