That this leader would be Bissolati,

CUTTING OUT USELESS CANES
Should Be Removed Soon After Bear
Ing, as They Draw Sap That
Ought to Go to New Ones.

1t will pay you we'll to remove rasp.
berry and blackberry canes soon after
bearing, for they draw from the roots
some of the sap that should go to the
new canes. Whenever the old canes
are cut the new ones make a more
vigorous growth, are in better condi-
tion to go throught the winter, and
bear large crop the following year
Long-handled pruning shears are the
best to use for cutting. Clip off the
canes near the ground as soon as they
have done bearing; then, some time
before the next springs cultivation.
burn them; or else place them around
fruit trees as a mulch.
When you are cutting out the old
canes the new ones may need some
attention, such as placing wire sup
ports on either side of them, or ty-
ing them to posts. Watch for the Or
ange rust on blackberries The dis
eased cane turns to a reddish color,
and dies. 1t is a germ disease, and
the only way to prevent it's spreading
Is to dig out the diseased plants and

to NOV it close with : scythe, allow
the math to lie until dry, and burn 1t

This will not injure the roots of the
plants seriously, and will kill good
many fungus spores. The soil be-

thoroughly and kept free from weeds
for the remainder of the season. If
rains come great many runners will
start out on the clean earth, and
these will give the plants needed for
next year.

We are frequently asked to give sug-
gestions regarding the best way to
utilize the ordinary city back yard for
gardening purposes. Space does not
permit of our answering such COM
prehensive question for each inquirer
and we take this opportunity to cover
the subject in detail.
Let us suppose that your back yard
Is about 25 feet wide and so feet deep.
It is fenced in and is pretty sunny
most of the day. There is a back
gate and a walk leading from the
house to the gate. How shall we lay
out our garden to get the greatest
amount of returns in fruit and at the
same time secure the most beautiful
effect.
In the first place, give fruit and
vegetables the right of way, using
grass and flowers to fill in the odd cor
ners. Most of our fruit bearing shrubs
and trees are as beautiful as any flow
ering shrubs, many of the fruits them
selves are highly decorative, and our
anticipation of harvest time lends a
very tangible interest, which is lack
ing in merely decorative plants.
Plant a row of dwarf pear trees fiat
along the south side of one wall and
train them in the espalier, vine like,
form on trellis. Use Dwarf Seckle
and Bartlett pears. Along the wall
facing east plant dwarf peaches (Craw-
fords are fine) and train them in the
same way. Plant from four to six feet
apart and allow from four to six main
hranchaa tO grow
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-04-11

Peach trees can stand more severe
pruning than either cherry or apple.
Peach trees should generally be cut
off about 18 inches from the ground,
and if these. are any branches below
that point they should be cut back
to the first or second, bud. Cherries
or plums need practically no pruning
except to cut the branches off foot
or so from the trunk.

Dwarf cherries or dwarf apples may
be planted against the other walls,
where they will take up very little
room, but care must be taken that
plants near the north side of any wall
are far enough away to get some sun
shine.
A very satisfactory plan for the
walk is to cover it with a latticed
pergola and train grapes over it. Della
ware grapes on the shadier side and
Concords on the sunny. Grapes make
fine screen for any small buildings,
ash boxes, etc., in the yard.
A strawberry bed 10 feet by 20 feet,
close to the pears, and three rows of
20 plants each of blackberries, rasp-
berries and currants will fill up the
half of the garden next to one long
side and the balance can be devoted
to vegetables and flowers.
We prefer dwarf fruit trees to the
full sized ones because they come into
bearing very early, require much less
care, and produce fined fruit in very
good quantity. Dwarf pears are very
satisfactory. Prune and fertilize and
spray properly and your dwarf fruit
trees will bear heavily every year.
By planting them against the sunny
side of wall and training like vines,
the fruit natures earlier, the trees
decorate the wall and they take up
much less room than if planted in the
open. The amount of edible fruit pro-
duced will be nearly as great. Try
some dwarf fruit trees yourself this
