WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by an Expert on Agricultural
Matters--How to Plan the Garden

Grow Rhubarb.
BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD soLTE

We are frequently asked to give sug.
gest!ons regarding the best way to
utilize the ordinary city back yard for
gardening purposes. Space does not
permit OF our answering such a 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 % feet wide and so feet deep.
1t Is fenced In and is pretty sunny
most of the day. There is q back
| gate aud 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
4 vegetables the right of way. using
| grass and flowers 10 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 n row OF dwarf pear trees Nat
along the south side OF one wall and
train them in the espalier. vino like
form on a trellis Use Dwarf Secklo
and Bartlett pears Along the wall
facing east plant dwarf peaches (Craw.
fords are fne) and train them in the
same way Plant from four to six feet
apart and allow from four to six main
branches to grow.
Dwarf cherries or dwarf apples may
be planted against the other walls.
whore 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 II with n lattlCed
pergola and train grapes over II. Della
ware grapes on the shadicr side and
Concords on the sunny. Grapes make
a 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
60 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 II planted in the
open. The amount OF edible fruit pro
duced will be nearly as great Try
some dwarf fruit trees yourself this
year.

place a bouquet of wild flowers on the
mound. and then kneel as If in prayer,
his body shaken with sobs. Once he
lay PROSTATE on the grave with his
head buried in his arms. The care
takers respected his grief and did not
disturb him. At dusk a pistol shot
echoed through the cemetery and a
caretaker rushed through the aisles of
gravestones to the Miconi plot.
He found Miconi sitting in an iron
cemetery chair with his chin resting
against his breast Blood trickled from
a tiny hole in the mans right temple
and q revolver lay on the grass beside
the chair.
The shouts of the caretaker attract
ed the attention of Doctor Drews. who

FRONT STREET FORMS

proper measure through the govern.

land needed on the mauka side of Front
street TO widen it and make il thor.

Front street connects Waiakea with
the center Of Hilo. In parts il is mar.

an unusual amount of traffic. some
parts have been wiiened 10 meet the
proposed width. This portion shows
what the entire thoroughfare would
look like if improved. Yet. for some
reason-and the lliloites complain that
some OF the delay is due TO the attor.

delayed.
Hilo, however, shows many evidences
