There Is one widely used Easter
flower. formerly imported from Hoi-
land, which has been thoroughly estab-
lished in this country, having been
brought to bloom In sufficient quantity
to supply the entire demand. This Is
the freesia, priced by florists and peo-
ple alike "a a beautiful and fragrant
Easter blossom. A talk with one or
the horticultural experts OF the depart
ment Of agriculture resulted In some
interesting facts concerning the feesia.
! "The plant is native of South
Africa" he said, but had been COM
mercially grown In Holland up to
about fifteen years ago. when 1t was
found that it could be produced here
more satisfactorily than 1t could be
imported. We have produced strains
1 larger and finer and very much better
| fitted for our use than the original
| flower. 1t has been developed in Flor
! ida. to some extent In Georgia, but to
tbe greatest extent In California.
where IL is cultivated in great. sweet
scented fields In Santa Ana. Santa
Barbara. Pasadena and San Gabriel.
J These towns are the center or our
home grown freesia, now thoroughly
Amerlcanized and supplying our entire
| trade.
"The original colors Of the freesia
were white, known as Purity and a
rather lurid yellow. but about fifteen
years ago few plants Of pale pink
tinted species, known as 'Freesia arm
stronpii,' were found In Natal. South
Africa. It was small. lilac pink
flower. but scentless. This species
seems to be extremely rare in nature
and IL was eagerly seized upon by
propagators In different parts Of the
world.
Italy. France, Holland. England and
this country all procured specimens
and by hybridizing and intercrossinl
the seedlings great range Of beauti
full coiors have been produced. They
run from cream to golden yellow or
one hand. and to pale pink and ligh
crimson on the other, and even a blue
has been developed. These varietie:
are still scarce. but they are knowr
to the trade. which has termed then
rainbow freesins.' They exhale deli
cate apricot-like fragrance.

After series of tests made by the
department of agriculture in various
states it has been found that tulips,
narcissi and hyacinths can best be
produced in this country in certain
parts of The Pacific coast. these being
northwest Washington and northwest
California. and that there are areas in
those states extensive enough to sup
ply all the bulbs this country needs.

more favorable for the culture of

partmcnt of agriculture in n recent

CUTTING BACK OF BRANCHES
Prevents Trees From Growing Too
Tall, Condition Making II Hard
to Gather Fr.nt.

(F'rom the United States Department of
Agrlculturc.)
Frequent cutting back of the branch
es Of the tree while II Is young pre-
vents the long. bare branches which
are so characteristic Of old orchard
trees. It also prevents the tree from
growing too tall-a condition which
makes 1t difficult to gather the fruit or
to spray the tree. With the low-headed
trees less propplng is necessary than
with trees having long framework
branches. The load Of fruit Is carried
nearer the trunk, and the main struc-
tural branches being larger In pro-
portion to their length are therefore
better able to carry any load Of fruit
which the tree may develop.

Cankerworm moths, tussock moths,

ed around the tree trunk. Cut the
wire screen into strips II inches wide
and sufficiently long to encircle the
trunk. Tack the upper edge of the
screen so that it fits snugly to the bark
and allow the lower edge to extend out
a distance of to inches from the
trunk. The moths will crawl up into
the screen trap and may be crushed
daily by hand. This device, however,
does not prevent the ascent Of trees
by any young larvae hatched from eggs
deposited by the captured moths be-
low the barrier, and hence the sticky
bands are more effective.

(Prepared by the United States Depart

Bands of sticky material, to D
inches wide, applied around tree
| trunks sometimes may be used to ad-
vantage to prevent caterpillars, climb
| ing cutwormS, and certain other in
sects from climbing trees. These bands
are also employed to prevent nonflying
/ and wingless moths, such as the gipsy
moth, cankerwOrm moths, tussock
moths, ETC., from ascending trees to
deposit their eggs. Cotton batting and
wire screen also are used in making
| protective bands.
Resin-castor Oil Mixture.
This may be made according to the
following formula:
| Resin ......................,.. pounds. b
Castor oil .....pihts'' D
Place the resin and castor oil In q
pot and heat slowly until the resin is
melted. Add more oil if too thick.
These sticky bands are sometimes
Injurious to the tree, but injury may be
avoided by spreading the adhesive on
strip of heavy paper encircling the
| tree trunk. A form of band that has
| given satisfactory results Is made from
cheap cotton batting and single-ply
tarred building paper. The cotton
should be cut into strips about inches
wide and wrapped around the tree
trunk so as to fill all the crevices OF

q strip of tarred paper about D inches
wide, drawn tightly and securely tack

Sticky fly paper is used sometimes II
