HORTICULTURAL NOTES..

Destroy blighted trees and branches
as fast as they appear.
Cultivate shallow near old trees to
prevent injuring the roots.
A heavy trimming of the tree before
spraying will facilitate the work.
There are two insects which assault
the peony-the rose bug and the com-
mon black and red ants.
The choicest shrub Is the spires van
houttei, growing about five feet high,
with delicate leaves and clusters of
white flowers.
Remember that 1t is not possible to
do too much cultivating in the orchard.
The soil needs working IL there are no
weeds in sight.
The most destructive of pear dis
eases is blight. 1t is not only the
means of destroying the fruit, but it
kills the twig and buds.
Lime sulphur spray is specially use
full for the destruction of orchard
mites in general, and is the best spray
to apply to destroy scale lice.
France supplies many of the flower
bulbs that formerly came from Hol-
land A more recent competitor Is
the Puget sound region in this coun-
try.
and steadily rising in price each year.
Those who have bearing fruit plants
will do we'll to give them the best OF
care this season.
Plum trees should be noticed for
plant lice. These insects do much
damage to the foliage at this season
OF the year. They are usually In q
mass and can easily be destroyed by
kerosene emulsion or soap solution.
Where the orchard Is plowed with
a two-horse pillow there are often
ridges left on one side OF the tree
and hollows on the other. 1t Is vel
to cross cultivate such an orchard tt
reduce the ridges and fill up the hol
lows.
Where large branches have beer
cut from a fruit or shade tree pain

to seal the pores and cracks aga1nS

of the tree.
Bush fruits and large rooted per< u
NAL vegetables like rhubarb shout,
be cultivated during the summer thu
same as annual plants. Working de
composed organic matter in the sol
about their roots will feed them ant
keep the roots moist.
Do not shut the little chicks out o
| the orchard. They destroy many o
the insect pests which attack the veg
etables. Ducklings are death to tn
insects. hut they enjoy eating lettuc
and number of other vegetables
Many times they destroy more thai
they do good.

it is destined to occupy an elevated panel

Building Handsome One.
The new building for. the National Mu-
scum was designed by Hornblower &
Marshall. architects, of this city. 1t is
one Of the handsomest and most digni-
fed of the government buildings.
The cost of the building has been more
than three and a half million dollars. The
floor space amounts to about ten acres
The. work of construction was begun
about Ave years ago. and will not be
finished Until late in the coming summer,
it is said
At present the new building and the
National Gallery of Art will be open to the
public only during the regular hours, Q
to on week days. But 1t is the hope of
the officials that provision may be made
may be open on Sundays and also in the
evenings. so that many persons who are

Marked Opening of Gallery.

The opening of part of the new museum
today marked more than the opening of
one of the governments handsomest new
buildings, it marked the opening of a
national gallery OF art in which the art
treasures owned be the government will
be given a resting place in the future and
which aims to advance the cause of art IN
this country . ...
The Smithsonian Institution, by the act
of its foundation in 1S46, was made the
custodian of the collections of art as well
as OF natural history belonging to the
nation. But the department of the fine
arts. now known the National Gallery
of Art, received comparatively few &C
cessions until 1906 but since then the
has been very large. Neither of the older
buildings occupied by. the National MI
scum contains suitable halls for the IN
stallation of paintings. and the new build
Ing has been specially constructed, both
as to wall space and character of lighting.
The fine light for the exhibition Of paint
ings was the object of many favorable
comments today.
The National Gallery OF Art occupies
the north hall. In the alcove to- the
north of the art exposition the authorities
have placed the collection of George
Washington relics, and to the right and
left of the art collection the astrological
exhibits have been placed temporarily
These complete the exhibits now on view
in the building. The other treasures OF
the museum will be moved into the new
lDuildlng as fast as lit is completed ana
made ready for them.

present Of the collection Of paintings and

the society to be the dissemination of a

Referring to the invitation extended by
the. Irish societies of Chicago to Pres
ident Taft to speak this evening from a
platform covered with earth from the
''old sod he said that the local society
was in no way behind, for it could show
"a little bit of the Hill OF Tara, and. had
taken their best speaker away from them
for their own night He exhibited a
pot of earth from the historic hill, which
he knew to be genuine because he had
dug 1t himself. Rounds of applause
greeted the sight.
The opening number consisted of three
selections from Moore, rendered on the
piano by Misses Ethel Brown, May Esh-
Orchestra. in a style that showed careful
study and appreciation of the motif.
