BACKYARD FRUIT TREES.

A great many suburbanites have one
or more fruit trees in their back yards. !
Some city folks are as fortunate, and
everybody with sunny back yard
can enjoy the shade, beauty and lus-
cioug fruit Of their own trees IL they
will go to a small amount OF expense
and trouble.
One interesting and possibly dis
couraging feature OF the backyard
fruit tree is the fact that very few OF
these trees produce enough fruit to be
noticed. They produce the shade and
the beautiful blossoms to perfection,
but they also produce such large crop
OF bugs and parasites OF other kinds
that there is no room for the fruit
It is freely admitted that 1t is harder
TO secure a good crop OF fruit from
one or two trees alone than from the
same trees in an orchard, but It is by
no means an impossibility. In the
orchard there is less wind to blow OF
blossoms and fruit There are other
trees to cross fertilze and there are
more bees to carry the pollen. On
the other hand, there are also more
trees to propagate diseases and bugs
in the orchard, and II the backyard
fruit grower will but give his trees the
same medicine that the commercial
fruit grower does. he will get all the
fruit that is coming to him
II you have some sour cherry trees
in your yard, all you have to do Is
pruRe out the suckers and interfering
branches and keep the birds away from
the reddening fruit Nature Will tend

birds away is the great job, and II Is
practically impossible unIess you

but plums. apples and pears should
be pruned every year Cut out the
suckers and the inside branches.
Trim OF the tops OF vertical limbs
that promise TO grow too high for
easy picking from ladder Keep the
tree free from dead and diseased
branches and clean out the center so
that the air and sunshine may reach
the fruit
Should your trees be infested with
scale insects Of any kind, spray them
thoroughly with a solution OF lime,
salt and sulphur early In the spring
Just when the petals drop and three
weeks after also. the trees should be
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture to
kill the apple worm, and put in lit
