BE PATIENT WITH FUcHsIAs

Several have complained to this de-
partment that fuchs as bought of local
nurserymen have not produced flowers
of the size claimed by the dealer,
though the best of care has been ac-
corded the plants. Not one fuchsia in
hundred will produce flowers of nor
NAL size the first year, and indeed
some do not till the third. If the
plants make a rank growth the first
year they should be severely pruned
back into good form and will seldom

ONE REASON WHY TREES DIE

Girdling often causes the loss of
young fruit trees a year or two after
they come from the nursery and have
been planted, according to the Septem-
ber number of Suburban Life. Many
of the nurserymen use labels. which
are fastened to the trees by a wire.
The owner too seldom thinks of loosen
ing the wires or of removing them, and
i'm a short time the tree becomes so
large that it outgrows the space within
the wire; then one of two things hap
pens-either the wire breaks or the
bark is girdled, the latter is the usual
result,
