Marked by Marvellous Growth AMI
Progress.

of yesterday of a representative Of
the Herald to the Green Nursery
plant. nature was responding to the
resurrection touch of the spring
time, and now it is clothed in the
rich dress of the summer, shaded
and softened by the tender tints
of autumn.
The buds have grown into the
shapely trees, the vines run grace
fully on the ground. the roses are
in full bloom, the model garden is
a thing of beauty, the hedge rows
are protecting and pretty, and fields
that once waved in golden grain
or we're burdened with the winsome
weed, are now clothed with new
glory and charm.

symetrical and OF vigorous growth,
are ready for market and hard by

pears. all selected with care, and

Acres of roses and ornamental
trees and hedgerow material
grow in happy unison, so that
at our very doors we have those
things we have been accustomed to
order from Rochester. n. Y, and
other points at a distance.
An impressive and instructive OBJ

fruit Trees on Streets.

In many countries of Europe,
notably Germany, may be found
cities and towns using fruit trees
of various kinds for street shade
and ornament. One of the prime
favorites is the apple tree, and
the municipality each year sells
the crop at profit and seems to
be able to prevent the mischiev-
Gus small boy from collecting
toll on the same. In tropical
countries where some fruits are
so common and produce in such
numbers as to have little market
value, these sorts are common
along thoroughfares of city,
town and rural district. One of
the most ornamental of this lat
ter class is prime favorite in
Southern California, the Avo-
cado or Alligator pear (Persea
gratissima). These countries
which make such use of this ex-
cellent tree are not severely
Dubbed with tourist travel or
high fruit prices, so that no in
centive exists for ones purloin-
ing any part of the crop. In
California such street trees would
be bereft of the entire crop be-
fore half ripe, even though it
consisted of poor quality seed
ling oranges.

Healthy Fowls

Health among the flock is the
first requisite of successful poul-
try culture. Those that fail to
make profit out of their birds
usually are those who are unable
to keep them healthy and in
good, thrifty condition.
The health of the fowls cannot
be kept up by feeding cayenne
pepper and other such stimu-
lants. Many people do this in
lieu of good care and proper
feeding. In the minds of some
people cayenne pepper and cer-
tain brands of condition powl
ders" are sure cure. alls, yet in
reality such foods are of little
value except to stimulate the
digestive organs of a sick bird.
Healthy fowls need no stimulant
any more than a healthy human
needs to be continually doping
himself with various prepara-
tions.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Tree Planting

The following suggestions are
good to observe in the matter of
digging trees from the nursery
row or from any place, where
you wish to remove a tree from
one place to another:
1. In digging, strike the spade
in far enough away from the
trunk so you will not cut off the
tibrous roots. You want to save
all of them that you can.
2. Expose the roots as little as
possible to the drying winds and
sun. Do not carry home your
trees from town with the roots
all exposed and then blame the
nurseryman if they die.
3. Cut away all the bruised
portions of roots you lacerated
in digging. A square cut will
be supplied with fresh feelers,
while lacerated root will rot.
4. If you have shortened the
root considerably in digging, re-
move some of the top to CORES
pond with the loss of root power.
5. Do not dig the hole like a
funnel and crowd allthe roots
into contracted space at the
bottom. Make it wide so you
can spread the roots as wide as
they were in their original home.
6. Usually, with deciduous
trees, plant them a little deeper
than they were where you took
them from, but in case of citrus
trees, better put them on a
mound and let the roots hang
down rather than put them in
too deep. Deep planting of or
anges and lemons is a fruitful
source of gum disease, especially
on fat land.
Z. Dig holes deep enough so
you can put in few inches of
the best top soil in the bottom
of the hole. Do not put manure
in the hole next to the roots of
the tree. Fill in with good dirt
about half way up; then, when
all roots are covered, you can
put in some well-rotted manure,
if you have 1t; but if you do not
have it, never mind just now
the tree does not want too rich a
diet at first. It is feeling bad
and wants to get over it before
it goes to overlooking it's stom-
ach.
8. Press the soil down closely
to the roots, and if there is no
prospect of immediate rain, put
in a bucket of water to keep the |
dry earth from absorbing the |
moisture of the tree instead of |
giving it needed moisture.
9. Keep the soil from baking |
round the trees. Keep the weeds !
from stealing the moisture they
should have, and after the first
rain or irrigation, so the soil is
thoroughly damp, mulch with
coarse manure straw, sawdust
or anything that will keep the
sun from stealing too much from
the soil.-American Farmer.
