Our Colonial History.
The hollyhock gets its name from
two words that indicate its origin In
the Holy Land and its membership in
the mallow family. But apparently it
was known in India before it flung its
cheerful banners to the air In Pales-
tine.
Wherever it's first home was, 1t has
become thoroughly acclimated In New
England We think of 1t as a charac-
teristic New England flower. It deco
rates our colonial history almost back
to the days Of Governor Bradford and
Roger Williams. 1t is forever peering
out of the pages of New England fc-
ton and poetry There Is no flower
that more completely embodies the
spirit Of our eighteenth century ro-
nance.
Some Of the old colonial blossoms are
shy and modest, but the hollyhock has
the courage of its convictions. 1t
knows its beauty, as 1t should, and
has no mind to hide it under q bushel
or beneath hedgerow. 1t is the prov
ince of loneliness to display itself, not
vauntingly, but with due sense of it's
worth. And the hollyhock, the state
lest Of our "old fashioned" flowers,
aspires unabashed.
In two books Of popular quotations
there Is no reference to the hollyhock
though the holly has its fair share OF
space. But it can afford to be thus o.
tracized.-Providence Journal

production rather than on growing
new sprouts, and the amount Of fruit
win be so controlled that the tree will
bring to maturity its legitimate amount
Of choice fruit instead of bearing a
large number Of small, low grade ap-
pies or pears. Pruning, in addition to
turning the strength Of the tree into
proper channels, also aids the produc-
tion Of high quality fruits by eliminat-
ing branches and foliage that keep the
proper amount Of sunlight from the
fruit. Finally, control Of the shape Of
the tree makes the work Of spraying
and controlling diseases and gathering

At the close Of the first season, when

that year should again be shortened to

body branches should be allowed to
carry not to exceed three subdivisions,
each of which should be eight inches
long. The third year the same opera
ton should be repeated, and instead Of
allowing each subdivision to carry
three branches the number should be
reduced to two. The arrangement Of
these branches should In all cases be
