BUD DEVELOPMENT.
Results Of Observations Of Various Va

The age at which bud begins to de

somewhat by the variety, species and
condition of the tree. fluctuations have
been made upon several sorts by
which II Is found that the peach, plum
and cherry usually require from three
to four months, while in the case of
the apple and pear great variations In

interesting TO us, since II gives a
plausible explanation for certain trees

first large one and then small one, \
large number Of fruit buds are formed

when II can supply plenty of plant
food, while during the season of heavy

to properly feed the fruit buds and
hence light crop is sure to follow.
On this basis apple trees may be
readily grouped into two classes

OF forming annual flower buds and
those that require more than one
year TO develop.

How Love Made u Great Painter.

rests with Louvian, was the son OF
an able blacksmith. Trained I'm his
fathers craft, the younger Quentin
soon distinguished himself by his
work In this base metal, and among
other matters turned out the won
derfully delicate ironwork that sur
mounts the well outside the Cathed-
raj OF Antwerp. Already an ac-
knowledged master OF his guild, it
came about that the young artisan
fell In love with the daughter OF
rich Antyerp burgher. When asked
10 consent TO a marriage, however,
the father would not hear OF it, say
ing he could not let his daughter
wed a blacksmith. Quentin ncXt in
