HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Protect the young trees or expect
to lose them.
Plan to set out at least a few trees
every spring.
Satisfy improves by freezing, the
same as parsnips.
Tame grapes are self-fertilizing, but
wild ones are male and female.
If you wish an early garden this
spring, see that it is well drained.
If there are no fruit trees, San
Jose scale will attack forest trees.
Are your trees half starved? If so,
feed them with bone-meal, nitrate of
potash and a little stable manure.
Both sweet peas and vegetable peas
like deep cool sell. Plant them just
as early as you can get them into the
ground.
To hasten termination make the
soil very fine and compact it well
about the seeds for close moisture
contact.
Sharpen up the pruning tools, for
next month is the time to trim black
berries, raspberries, currants and
gooseberries.
When a thaw comes, see hat the
grapevine trellis is put into nice cor
dition. S%traighten posts. Tighten and
fasten wires. Tie up vines. Remove
and burn brush.
II all the fence corners and waste
spots now given over to worthless
weeds were planted in fruit trees the
face Of the landscape would be
changed for the better.
Many good farmers will keep every
thing on the place in ship shape all
the year except the orchard. These
men are always complaining that ii
doesn't pay to raise fruit.
1t is best to prune shade trees in
summer Never leave a ragged wound.
Such is likely to cause decay. Sum-
mer pruning induces fruit bearing,
while winter pruning encourages a
heavy growth of wood.
To prevent currant worms from
troubling currant and ~gOoseberry
bushes dust them with hellebore as
soon as the leaves appear while we:
with dew. Make a second application
a few weeks later. Hellebore may also
be used as a spray.

COMPASS CHERRY FOR NORTH
Ten Years Ago BY a Successful
Plum Cross.

The Compass cherry originated with
a Mr.. Knutson of Springfield, Mimi,
something owe ten years ago by
crossing the pollen of the Prunus
Americana on the native Sand cherry,
P. besseyi. 1t is really a small plum,
and the term cherry is something of
a misnomer. Since this variety was
introduced a number of other seed.
lings have been raised from it, which
closely resemble the parent. 1t ripens
here between the cherries and early
plums, and is about as large as the
small native plum.
The tree is dwarf in habit and of
upright form, with foliage between
that of the sand cherry and the plum,
says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer.
1t flowers a~bundantly every year, and
the fruit sets we'll. The tree is ex-
tremely hardy, never killing back ven
in severest winters in Minnesota. It's
chief weakness is a liability to attack
