DWARF APPLES.
They Will Sc Grown on Account Of
Their Conv enienee.


Their Convenience.
G. T. Powell of Columbia county, N.
Y, has been conducting some interest
ing experiments on the value Of dwarf
apple trees in business orchards. 1t is
the idea of Mr. Powell that trees of a
low habit Of growth will be required
more and more because Of the need Of
convenience for spraying and harvest
ing. The scale insects make it almost
impossible TO thoroughly treat large
trees, and the cost Of labor makes q
saving at harvesting time Of great i'm
portance.
Two styles of dwarf trees are under
trial. The so called Paradise is very
dwarf and is short lived. The Doucin
stock is half dwarf, making trees six
teen to eighteen feet high, and prom
Uses good results in commercial or
charding. The trees are planted two
or three inches below the union of
stock and top. In Mr.. PoWellS or
chard the trees of Paradise stock are
set as filters between those Of the lar
ger dwarf kind. The rows in the Or
chard are twenty feet apart and the
trees ten in row. The wide spaces
between the rows allow plenty Of room
for cultivation by horsepower, while
the trees in the rows will be thinned
out as soon as they become crowded.
The dwarf trees give fruit in a few
years from planting. and the amount
gradually increases. The small dwarf
kind lasts six to eight years and the
Semidwarfs for about twenty years.
For dwarf trees the SpitZenberg, Jona-
than and Mcintosh are found success
full. They produce fruit Of very fine
appearance and quality, suitable for
packing in boxes for the choicest trade
For the half dwarfs the Northern Spy,
Roxbury Russet, Twenty Ounce, Astra.
khan, Baldwin and Greening are salts
factory.
The dwarf trees must receive good
culture, with plenty Of plant food and
careful cultivation. The soil is plowed
and narrowed In the spring and is kept
in a cover crop of clover during the
summer. Scale and other insects are
easily treated in the dwarf orchards.
The idea appears SO promising to Mr..
Powell that he is pruning his larger
trees on the dwarf plan, cutting back
the tops of the standard trees in order
to cause them to spread out and to re-
move the high parts Of the tree, which
make so much difficulty in spraying
old trees.

HON. O. LULU.

News-Letter-A prominent merchant
of Honolulu, who has been stopping
over in San Francisco for few days
preparatory to returning to the Islands
told me a particularly good story on
himself in the lobby of the Fairmont
the other evening. While in Washing
ton, d. c., recently, he had occasion
to purchase new trunk to carry some
curios he had picked up, and according
ly picked out one in leading trunk
shop of the city of statesmen, request
ing that his. initials and place of resi-
dence be painted upon the end. So he
left card, upon which he had jotted
down the inscription which he desired
placed on it, as follows: Elk. L. G.
Honolulu. -
In due course, the trunk was deiiv-
cred to the trayeler's hotel, and the
surprise of the owner may perhaps be
better imagined than described when
he read what the sign painter had done
with his little paint brush. For some
occult reason the initials of the name
were overlooked, and this is the cogno-
men as the painter had it in the bold
est of characters: ''Hon. o. Lulu -
The owner of the trunk is happily
possessed of a sense of humor, and he
let it stay as it was. I saw it the
other night. and can bear witness TO
the fact. There is no question in my
mind now but that everyone is an
g Hon. in Washington.
