Eastern Colorado times., 1913-06-27

Beside the celebrations, devised for

will be special festivals and celebra-

adopted land explained ip their own
tongue and illustrated by stereopticon
views or tableaux.
An example Of this kind of celebra-
ton was set two years ago in. Spring
field. Mass. at the instance Of the set
Element workers of that city. It re-
quired. to be sure, some time and
thought. but the result was a beauti.

with no aftermath OF killed and wound

RAISING Raspberries.

1nere Is no Iru1t more QeSlraDle or
more easily grown than the red or
black raspberries. The plants cost
little and one can get them for nothing
by making cuttings from wild bushes.
They are much more easily grown
than Strawberries, and are much less
trouble. The strawberry bed must be
hoed, trimmed and weeded regularly
or it will be completely covered up.
but the raspberry will produce luxuri-
antly under adverse conditions and
even downright neglect. = ..
Two thirty-foot rows, one of good
red and one black variety, will fur
nish abundant fruit for the average
family and the entire cost of having
all the raspberries you want for a
months time every year need not ex-
ceed the cost Of little fertilizer and
a little Bordeaux mixture.
A raspberry patch will bear some
fruit the second year and it will carry
a heavy crop thereafter, for as much
as ten years.
They will grow we'll in any we'll
drained, fertile soil and the black
varieties require a little richer soil
than the reds. Neither will do as
we'll as the blackberry on sandy or
poor soils.
Buy your plants from nursery man
and put them into a well prepared
seed bed in the spring. Plant in rows.
having the plants about two and one
half feet apart. Set the plants lit.
tie deeper than they were at the
nursery. firm the soil well and water
occasionally for week or two.
The ground should have a liberal
covering of stable manure before turn
ing over, and 1t will be we'll to work
into the soil around each plant about
one-fourth of a pound of mixture Of
bone meal, three parts and muriate Of
potash one part. Fertilize in this pro-
portion each year, keep the ground
cultivated and you should have heavy
crops of large, juicy berries every
year.
Beds located in exposed positions in
very cold climates will need to have
the canes laid down and covered with
earth and straw during the winter
When the bushes are properly
prpned and fertilized, it will not be
necessary to support them, but there
are many advantages in tying the
canes up to wire supports.
Be careful in the pruning. After
the first year cut all Of the old canes
out as soon as they have fruited. At
the same time cut out surplus and
feeble canes. In the early spring cut
out all canes which have been winter
killed and trim all remaining stalks
about third.
Rust and anthracnose are the most
common diseases. Spray with Bor-
deaux for the first one and cut out and
burn the diseased canes If rust ap.

by spraying with he.lebore or arsenate
of lead.
Raspberries frequently produce $500
quarts Of fruit per acre in single
year.

Planting Shrubs.

Spring ia the favorite season for
shrub planting. Not that most shrubs
cannot be transplanted at almost any
season of the year, but we all feel
more interested in outdoor things
when the robins first come back.
Shrubbe1y about the house is con.
slant joy to all who behold it. Break.
Ing up harsh lines and Joining to-
gether the more antagonistic features,
it gives a finish and an air Of per-
manency to any place.
In choosing varieties for special
uses, particular attention should be
given to the form, color and charac-
ter OF blossoms, and foliage, together
with blooming period and general ap-
pearance of the shrub. Tall, struggling
shrubs, like some Of the lilacs and
azaleas, give better effects when
placed at a distance, and either mass
ed or planted against buildings, fences,
etc. More symmetrical shrubs and
the smaller varieties can be planted
singly or grouped in beds in the fore
ground.
For planting about porches, moth
ing is more handsome or more grace
fuI than bridal wreath. It can well
be supplanted with several other
shrubs which bloom at different times,
however.
