who have practiced careful sanitary
methods, that bitter rot, can be large
ly controlled by carefully cleaning up
the ground, and picking all mummied
fruits from the trees.
The best way to dispose of these de.
uayed apples is to haul them out of
the orchard and burn or bury them
deep enough so they will not be dis.
thrbed, by cultivation.
In addition to cleaning up under
the trees as protection against bit.
tee rot, 1t Is advisable to pick Off all
diteased fruits as soon as they begin
to appear In the summer.
Trees that have. o weeping habit
should be pruned so that the limbs do
not come in contact with the ground,
and weeds should be prevented from
making a rank growth under them, as
this is one of the conditions that in.
directly favors the development OF the
disease.

The expenditure OF $12 by the city fol
the seed represents the total outlay fol
the magnificent grounds surrounding
the station building.
Under Captain Wilmot the firemen
graded and planted the lawn and
watched It so carefully that there Il
perhaps hot q better one In the city. a In
front Of the building they planted a
flower bed, In the form of Maltese
cross. 1t Is filed with foliage plants OF
many hues. and in the center there Is
a small century plant. Along the front
wall there Is row of gladioluses and
tuberOses, solicited and received from
the horticultural department mt Wash
lngton. On the south side of the lot is
a hedge of sweet peas, ana on the same
side Il large bed of pansles, the gift Of
the Park Floral company, and another
bed Of geraniums.
The most extraordinary and unique
features Of the decorations are the
flower stands devised by the men. For
one of these an inverted section Of a
tree trunk, with the spreading limbs
serving for support. was used. On top
OF this an oblong box was placed. GOV.
cred with decorative work made from
small twigs. There are six Of these
boxes In various patterns. and each
one represents an endless amount of
work and patience. The material nec-
essary for their construction was all
gathered In the alleys and vacant lots
OF the neighbOrhOod. The completed
boxes, filed with dozens of varieties
Of plants and trailing vines, are really
works of art, q single one containing
geraniums Of many types. bluebells,
wandering jews, pinks, nasturtlums
and small poppies.
In addition TO these there arc other
stands which are, IL anything could he,
even more strange In their origin. In
the alleys near the station the flremen
found two Kitchen water tanks that
had been deserted by their owners.
Strips Were cut ont of their sides and
rustic supports placed beneath them.

planted inside. They have quite lost
their homely identity and serve as
very attractive flower boxes, with long
strands of delicate vines trailing from
their sides. Withal there Is much for
the men at the station to be proud of,
for ordinarily a fire station is not
thing OF beauty, but In this case the
men have toiled to such good purpose
that there is not private lawn In
Denver where more taste is shown In
the decorations or greater success oh.
tained in the horticultural work.
