SELECTION OF FRUIT TREES.

1t has generally been the custom
Tor most OF us to purchase our fruit
trtes from an agent, who always
claims to represent some reliable
nursery company. In some cases he
may be honest in his statements and
the trees may be all right but in
many instances these socalled agents
are only agents OF the devil who sell
worthless stock at n fancy price.
After the horse Is stolen there Is no
use locking the stable door. Avoid
these agents and deal only with reli-
able nurseries which cannot afford
to sell trees that are not what they
are claimed to be. There are many
good nurseries in the United states.
One may obtain the names of them
By writing the horticultural depart
ment Mt Clemson college.
Not only will the horticultural de-
'partment furnish n list OF these nur-
series, but will gladly give any other
additional and worthwhile informa-
ton concerning varieties suited to
ones selection. when and how to
plant, etc.
Most OF us make the mistake or
planting our trees too close together.
thereby decreasing the vitality and
ability OF the trees to produce fruit.
Plant your peach. cherry and plum
trees at least 20 feet from any tree.
Apples and pears require a greater
distance-about 80 feet.
After you have planted your trees
he sure to prune and spray them
regularly. Many fine young fruit
trees have been set out to die F"ri
neglect. Such q condition is n crime
although II may not be considered
such in the eyes OF the law, A neg
lccted orchard breeds disease and
issects which, after having ruined
these trees, flock over to the care
fu: neighbor's orchards and cause
him undue trouble and loss.
Next week will be published in The
Times a list OF varieties Of fruits
suitable to the home orchard of this
locality. M. II. s.
