Back Yard
The
Farmer
BY Prof. John Willard BOIte


April is the best month to set out a
strawberry bed in the north, and care
should be taken to secure plants from
some bed that was set out the prevl'
ods spring. This bed will not have
begun to bear yet, and the plants Will
be strong and insure you OF healthy
productive plants for youi new bed
1t is an excellent scheme to have
at least one row of grapes. They can
well be planted along the west or
south side OF fence or house, and may
be trained TO cover the entire fence.
When this is not possible, set up
row of fence posts, string three
smooth wires between them, and tie
the young grape vines TO the wires
in order to keep them off the ground
Besides their edible virtues, grape
vines possess the highest decorative
qualities. and Should be planted more
generally. II for this reason only. The
Concord is one I the best varieties
for Northern states, and II part OF
them fail to ripen before frost, they
can be made into excellent pickles
preserves or home made wine.
In the tree fruits, nothing Is more
popular than the sour red cherry IL
Is hardy, prolific. subject to few pests
and 1t makes the best pies In Amen'
ca. All one has to do is to plant the
young tree and let nature take her
course. You will find the fruit great
treat.
Peaches, plums and apples can AL
be grown successfully. and the last
two are almost independent OF ch
matte conditions. but peaches are NOT
80 universally successful In the north'
Pears do excellently under proper
treatment, and magnificent pears eau
be grown by following the Engllsh
fashion of training a pear tree MAJ
against the south side OF a brick wall
where 1t receives the reflected as
