THREE GOOD VINES

Much enjoyment and companionshlp
can be got out of Towering vines:
The three which I, personally. like best
are the Clematis, Cypress and sweet.
scented Honeysuckle. The Clematls, OF
which there are several kinds. is very
appropriate for a porch climber. II
comes out with an abundance of new
growth each year and produces
wealth of blossoms with ordinary care
THE Cypress Vine is an annual
dainty of vine, foliage and bloom, ana
makes a wonderful growth during the
summer. It is we'll suited for growing
about a south window, as 1t Is not
dense enough to shut out all or the
light and its red or white trumpet
shaped blooms can be enjoyed during
most of the summer and early autumn;
The blossoms of the hardy, perennial
Honeysuckle are not snowy, but their
odor is the sweetest of all common VIM
ing plants. 1t also has the advantage
of being a good foliage vining orna-
mental. It should be located far enough
away from the dwelling so that the
aroma from the blossoms will be car
ried family across the grounds ana
through the observation-disclosures

AN ELDERBERRY SCREEN

Elderberries need not mean only old
fashioned wine but might easily stand
for a plant effective for roadside plant
ing and one with screening possibilities.
By this latter use I mean that the ell
derberry might we'll be planted to cover
an ugly bit of old fence, to nod over a
we'll or to fill in an inartistic corner of
the yard.
The elderberry needs no preparation
of the soil for it's growth, no care after
planting. 1t simply grows.
Gather some berries in fruiting sea-
son. Squeeze out the juice and some
of the pulp through piece of cheese
cloth. Then merely scatter the seeds
in the place you wish them to grow. In
two or three years you will have fne
sturdy clump of them
I know of nothing more simple, more
charming, more sweetly suggestive OF
summer and nature than big mass OF
elderberries lifting up their whlte-lace
head-dressings in an unexpected place;
Try them just for the experiment, ana
you will love them for themselves

APPLES FOR LOS ANGELES

We do not know of a better all
round early apple than Red Astrachan,
except that it is a shy bearer some
seasons. 1t has a close rival in Early
Harvest it being a regular and heavy
bearer and coming in at the same sea-
son. It is not so acid as Red AS
trachan. which makes it less desirable
for cooking purposes. For a sure crop
of early apples, Early Harvest cannot
be excelled SINNERS Seeding ripens
just as Red Astrachan goes out. This
goes under the name of SINNERS Pip
pin and Santa Clara King. 1t is one
of our best summer apples. The color
is a light yellow, quality good and
sells we'll The tree is a good grower
and almost wholly resists blight. yell
low Bellefleur and Missouri Pippin
are also good varieties, the latter be-
ing our best all round red winter APP
pie for warm situations, while Win
ter Pearmain is our best late apple.
All apples require a great deal OF
water On our light sandy soil, the
late varieties require as much water
as orange trees in full bearing.-LA-

PROPAGATE CARNATIONS NOW

Carnations are increased by cuttings
and must be taken from a perfectly
healthy plant and well down on the
flower stem. The cuttings should be
from three to four inches in length,
and must not be too hard nor too soft.
The best way to tell If a cutting is in
condition to root is to bend it; and If
it breaks it is just right; If 1t bends
and does not break it is either too
hard or too soft. The best material in
which to root them is clean river sand
or very fine gravel, three or four inches
deep, with good drainage.
The cuttings can be inserted one
inch apart in the rows and two to
three inches between rows. Insert cut
tings about one inch deep, and II there
are any leaves that would be buried
in the sand, cut them off. In putting
In the cuttings use pointed STICK
called a dibble or dibber 1t can pc
made one-quarter of an men tnlck anu
nointed like a lead pencil. Make the
hole with the dibble and put in the
cutting. and then make the sand firm
at the base of the cutting. 1t is a
good plan to let the cuttings stand IN
water twelve hours after picking ana
before planting. Never let cutting
wilt.
After the cuttings are In they shouiu
be shaded. The best thing to use Is
newspapers Lay them on top of the
box of cuttings, keeping them away
from foliage by sticking in the SAND
a few little spllnters of wood to take
weight of papers. One thickness is
enough. Cuttings should be kept from
draughts so as to avoid evaporation
In the foliage, and should also ne
snrayed two or three times day for
the first week or ten days in bright
weather, and the sand should never
be allowed to get dry. After ten days
they can be given some sun. 1t vii,
take six weeks for them to root ana
they should never be allowed to re-
main in the sand any length OF time
after they are fairly rooted

THE CASTOR OIL PLANT

The Castor Oil plant, more commonly
spoken of in Southern California as the
Castor Bean, is one of our best plants
for quickly producing a most luxuriant
growth of foliage quite tropical in gen
eral effect When small plants of slow
growing sorts are being permanently
placed few castor means planted not
too near the better vegetation will pro-
vide one with immediate effects If
something is needed to fill up and cover
bare soil. If one cares little what eff
fects he gains for the first season he
may plant around the castor beans
seeds of fast-growing annual vines;
better still, plant these after the castor
beans have made plants a foot or more
high; about midsummer one would
have a veritable jungle of leaf and
blossom-Rural Californian.

SOILS FOR MONTEREY PINES

An English authority whose word is
seldom or never questioned has re-
corded the fact that the Monterey pine
native to a restricted area in Cali
fornia, does not thrive in England ex-
cept on soil with a limestone base and
exceptionally we'll drained. In South
ern California these very conditions
may be noted, very well-dralned soil
containing a trace of lime proving the
best for both health and longevity. At
best it is a short-lived tree, and when
planted on a cold clay with poor drain
age, that is on comparatively level
ground, it lives but from twenty to
forty years. Much doubt exists as to
whether it will live much longer than
the latter period under any but per-
fectly natural conditions, that is, left
to its own resources.-Rural Califor-

WILD CLEMATIS

Comparatively few people are aware
that we have two snowy species OF
wild clematis. Both are well worthy
of cultivation and great deal or
money is spent for poorer vines. The
lowland species &c. ligusticifolia) has
small creamy white flowers borne in
a profusion of clusters all over the
vine The foothill species &c. lasian-
thai has much larger flowers of the
same color and is one of our showiest
plants during the blooming season: In
the interior canyons where it climbs
over the trees and shrubs vine of it
at a distance often gives the impress
sion of white pyramid, so f1oriferous
is the plant. Both species are easily
transplanted in the late fall or very
early spring and would make fine ar
Dor plants-Rural Californian.

MOVING OLD APPLE TREES

A question comes in relation to NOV
ing apple and other deciduous fruit
trees four and five years old.
1t is practicable to transplant apple
trees of that age, but if you are in
tending to transplant a commercial
orchard we would not say it is adj
visable For a home orchard it might
be advisable, and we would proceed
by cutting back the top so as to leave
only the main limbs, retaining the
shape of the top and not more than
three or four feet in diameter. Re-
move the soil from around the roots
by digging a hole three or four feet in
diameter without bruising the bark on
the roots, make a clean saw or knife
mot pruning knife) cut, removing
with the tree all the roots possible.
Transplant to the already prepared
holes and do not allow them to settle
in the ground to a greater depth than
they originally We're. Fill in with dirt,
settle with water and keep the ground
as moist as you would under ordinary
circumstances. 1t might be advisable
to wax both top and roots in case any
of the latter are cut off when of con-
siderable size-Rural Californian.

CHEMICAL DESTROYER
FOR WILD MUSTARD

The wild mustard and the Canada
thistle are destined to complete extinc-
ton. As if by magic. these noXious
weeds will disappear until nothing but
a powder spot remains to tell of their
having once existed Before your very
eyes their foliage will wither to the
roots and the grease spot that remains
will be as a fertilizer to the grains
and grasses whose nourishment they
had shared as parasites 1t Is the
chemical eradication of the wild mus
tard and the Canada thistle.
This magical chemical is called aeri-
cultural sulphate of iron and is by
product of the great wire mills of this
country The sulphate of iron is ex-
tracted from the waste acids remain
ing after the wire has been made and
is converted into a crystalline sub
stance granulated as fine as the
highest grade sugar In this form 1t
is ready for the market.
A spraying solution is made of the
powder in proportions of about 100
pounds to n barrel of water and is
applied on the field infested with mus
tard THROUGH spraying machine, pro-
ducing a fine mist. A machine has
been designed with q capacity of 81
gallons. drawn bv one horse. and which
will spray about twenty-five acres
day.
experiments nave demonstrated lAldI
100 pounds to So gallons of water will
spray one acre and will cost between
so and rs cents The cost varies ac-
cording to the distance from the source
of supply, but at the outside will not
exceed rs cents an acre, Tt is of the
greatest importance that the spraying
ne done when the grain is voung, be-
fore it has reached the first Joint period
of its growth After that period
spraying machine could not be one
rated without injury to the tender
shoots.
One of the anomalies brought out in
spraying experiments is that while the
acid spreads like a cancer throughout
the circulation system of the mustard
plant it runs off any cereal as water
does from the back of water fowl.
A slight discoloration of the tins of
the youngest leaves occurs. but 1T does
not injure them nor does it retard
their growth. The oldest leaves will
turn brown and shrivel Up. but this
also happens as the plant natures, be-
ing one of the natural processes toward
ripening.
The why of all this has not been de-
termined vet to the satisfaction of
the scientists to whom the matter has
been submitted but the theory is that
the wild mustard takes moisture from
its foliage while the grain draws IT'S
moisture and nourishment from the
roots-Country Life in America

THE WIcKsoN PLUM

The advantage of Wickson plums
over Kelsey for Southern California is
that it colors up better, is better ma
vored and is a more regular bearer.
It can be picked while still of green
color and firm, and in week or so
will become rich and juicy and of a
dark red color all over. We know OF
one man who has ten acres of Kelseys
and last year realized a handsome
profit from them by shipping them
east. Had his trees been Wickson he
would have landed them in the eastern
markets from four to five weeks ear
lier, would have had better looking
fruit, Just as good a shipper If picked
properly and more fruit.
The Wickson is not generally con-
sidered a canning plum, there being
no demand for it from the Gamers,

GROW PLENTY OF FREEsIAs

Few bulbs are more satisfactory
than freesias, for they simply run
riot" in California, in some instances
almost a pest. They are such persis-
tent little plants that they will even
push up through the hard pathway and
will blossom under circumstances dis
couraging or prohibitive to other bulb
GUS plants. The fragrance of the
freesia is one of the strongest yet
pleasing of all flowers, and few Will
fill a large house with perfume.

TMARAIX GALLICA

This popular plant, which is known
by the common name of "Tamarisk,"
is suited to all soils and conditions. 1t
will grow in water or the driest SOIL
as well as in salty ground, and seems
to thrive everywhere. In several
countries it is used for binding shift
ing sand Locally the fine, large
sprays of pink blossoms are much in
demand by the florists for decorating
purposes.
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1910-07-10

yet for home use it can hardly be sur
passed for this purpose.
When picked from the tree while
still firm and with a yellowish trans
lucent appearance, laid away and al
lowed to ripen until red, it will de-
velop a delicious aroma and is the
acme of perfection among plums for
those who like sweet fruits.
This plum requires different treat
ment from what is generally consid-
cred proper for plums. If not heavily
pruned and the crop thinned the tree
will overbear one year and have light
crop the next. 1t will break itself
down if allowed to have its will.
This plum, perhaps, does best on
peach root. 1t is known to do par
ticularly well when budded into grown
peach trees. We would judge that it
will do as well on old apricot trees,
as we know that Kelsey does especial
ly we'll on them. There is no objection
to it on myrobalan or mariana root
