Of kinds of fruits and varieties Of
those kinds which do well in the given
locality and which will serve best the
purpose for which they are desired.
The location Of the land on which
the fruits are planted, other things be-
Ing equal, should be convenient to the
house. It should be well drained,
since fruit trees cannot thrive in poor
~ drained soil. The air drainage also
must be good. Cold air settles to the
lowest levels, and If a site is SO locat-
ed that cold air settles over It from
some surrounding higher elevation,
the fruit may be injured by freezes in
the autumn when sites located on the
sides Of slopes or at points which are
higher than the surrounding area
escape injury.
Most fruits can be grown on a great
variety Of soils, but where possible it

In many sections Of Florida and CAL
nornia the housewife needs only to
step outside Of her kitchen door to
gather the grapefruit for breakfast or
the oranges for dinner. This cannot
be done everywhere, but there is no
reason why any rural or suburban
housewife, even If she lives close to
the Canadian border, should not have
fruit Of some kind growing in the back
yard. This is the opinion Of special
lists in the United States department
Of agriculture, who treat in detail the
subject Of "Growing Fruit for Home
Use" in publication under that name.
It is Farmers Bulletin 1901 and may
be obtained on application to the d.
vision Of publications, q. s. depart
ment Of agriculture, Washington, D. G.
The ideal fruit garden or home or
chard should contain several different
kinds of fruits, represented In many
cases by considerable number Of va
rieties ripening one after another over
a long period. Large yields, good ship
ping quality and attractiveness in ap-
pearance, which are aims Of the COM
mercial grower, may he made second
airy to high dessert quality or special
excellence for cooking purposes.
Plans for Home Orchard.
The home fruit plat should be
planned carefully, and in general with
a view to supplying fruit continuously
throughout the year either in the fresh
state or canned or otherwise con-
served. Throughout a large part Of
the country one may grow in the same
garden, If he so desires, the following
fruits: Apples, pears, peaches, plums.
cherries, ounces, strawberries, rasp-
berries, blackberries, dewberries, cur
rants, gooseberries and grapes. In the
colder sections the winters are too Sc
we're for peaches and also for some of
the other fruits named, unless they
are protected; while in the warmer
parts apples, currants, gooseberries
and certain varieties Of several Of the
other fruits fail because they are not
adapted to the long, hot summers and
mild winters. But in these warmer
regions Japanese persimmons succeed,
and in some Of them figs and certain
other fruits can be planted success
fully. Therefore one Of the most i'm
portant features Of the plan for the
home-fruit plantation is the selection

free movement or soil moisture, Is de-
sirable.
Good nursery stock Of suitable kinds
and varieties Is fundamental to sue
cess in fruit growing. While many Of
the long-established nurseries sell
their stock largely through agents
whose integrity is unquestiooed many
other nurseries have no travelling
agents but sell direct to purchasers.
It is better, as rule, for grower to
deal directly with nurseryman rather
than through an agent.
When to Plant Fruit Trees.
In the North and wherever the win.
ter conditions are severe on plant life,
either from low temperatures. drying
winds or other causes, fruits are usu'
ally planted in the spring as early as
the soil can be put In suitable condi'
ton. It is very important that they be
set out while the plants are perfectly
dormant and before the buds have
started. Many failures result from de-
laying the planting until the buds have
started into growth.
f the prospective planter prepares
the soil where his fruits are to stand
as thoroughly as he should prepare
his garden before planting vegetable
seeds, the subsequent growth Of his
fruit trees will amply repay him.
Where the site selected Is in sod 1t Is
advisable to cultivate 1t during one
season at least after the sod Is plowed
under, in order that the grass roots
may decay before the fruits are
planted.
Where the fruit plantation occupies
q garden site usually it should receive
about the same tillage that Is given q
vegetable plat. In the popular mind
this represents high standard Of ex-
cellence. Frequent tillage to maintain
the surface soil IN the condition Of
fine dust mulch is preferable In most
cases to any other method Of treat
ment. The tillage Of fruit trees should
be continued until midsummer in the
North, but it may be kept up to good
advantage somewhat later in the
South. Strawberries, as rule, should
be cultivated until the approach Of
cold weather.
Under most conditions the same
methods of maintaining the fertility of
the soil which are followed In a vege-
table garden are successful with fruits.
Where stable manure is available Its
liberal use generally gives excellent re-
suits.
The three kinds of insect pests and
fungous diseases that are found In
commercial orchard in any region may
be expected to occur In fruit garden
or home orchard located in the same
region. Therefore, in planning a
home-fruit plantation the grower
should inform himself as completely
as is possible in regard to the methods
Of controlling the common insects and
diseases to which the fruits he 10
growing are subject In his locality
This information may be found In bull.
letins issued by state experiment sta
lions, agricultural college extension d.
visions, the United States department
of agriculture and elsewhere.
The bulletin, which discusses these
points at length, also gives attention
to other problems that will confront
the amateur fruit grower, such as sea
sons of planting, handling the stock
from the nursery, planting, cultural
methods, maintaining soil fertility
pruning and training, irrigation, varie
ties Of fruit for different regions, fruit
varieties, age of bearing and varieties
for different districts.
