The fair held at Vashon in October,
under the auspices of the Vashon Hor-
ticultural Society, the oldest organi-
zation of it's kind in King county, show
ed wide-awake interest in all horti-
cultural matters among the members.
The fine gathering of fruit, all grown
within radius of one mile of the
town, again verifies the claims as to
Vashon Island for the successful grow
ing of fruit. The display of Sumner

pomologists, of over so varieties of
apples, besides other fruits, was re-
markedly interesting. Shown for the

ably in flavor and texture with the

MANAGEMENT of Strawberries.

In strawberry culture runners that
reach beyond a reasonable limit should
be cut off. The plants should be cul-
tivated at least once a week and after
each rain or irrigation. Utter eXter-
mination of weeds is necessary to sue
cess. If the ground has been kept
free from weeds the previous year the
weed killing will be much easier job.
Rows must not be ridged up too high
when cultivated. In irrigating, run
the water between the rows and use
plenty of it. There is no danger of
cold water from a we'll injuring the
plants if run between the rows or
even if run on the plants.
In the latter part of November cover
the plants with mulching one or two
inches deep, using wild hay, alfalfa or
straw. Carefully avoid any wild hay
that has seeded grasses in it, Manure
and even dry earth is often used. This
mulching of the plants is very neces-
sary to prevent the frequent thawing
and freezing of the fruit buds during
winter.
In the spring when the plants begin
to grow the mulching should be raked
into the spaces between the rows and
remain there until the berries are
picked. If there is danger of frost
after they have commenced blossom
ing turn this mulch over the plants

Why Home Nursery Trees Die.
(Paul G. Kruger

During the past few weeks I have
been receiving a good many letters
in which the writers desire to know
the reason why so many of our home
grown nursery trees die. In order
that | may be able to give this SUBJ
ject due consideration | visited sew
eral of the places where such trees
were planted. After a careful examin-
alton | find this to be the case:
First: The tree was not ripe when
shipped to the planter; that is to say,
the nursery which sold the trees to
this planter allowed the water to re-
main too long on the trees and the
result was that while the tree looked
very nice and of good size, it shriv-
elled from top down after the planter
had the same in the ground and the
once beautiful tree was then nothing
but an old shrivelled up tree. This
planter, out of 500 trees, lost AGO.
while others who bought trees from
this same nursery lost from so to
rs per cent.
But we have also other causes
taking up trees from the nursery, for
instance. This is an operation that
should be we'll understood and per-
formed with the greatest care. The
Importance of the fibrous roots is
very little understood by nursery
novices and the result is great loss
to the planters. These roots are the
principal absorbing parts of the large
roots, and when they are destroyed,
the tree receives a great shock. from
which it requires good treatment and
a long time to recover. Let it be un-
derstood that no nurseryman, l do not
care whether it be large nurseries or
small can furnish you good whole
some trees when he employees cheap
and inexperienced labor, for to pro-
duce good trees men who understand
