Honey Dews from
Ceras, So. Africa

Honey Dew melons from South
Africa have been on display in the
New Era office since Saturday of last
week. Six crates were received by
Iiilvert and Hosler from New York,
direct from Ceres, South Africa One
of the crates was placed in the New
Era display window and attracted
considerable attention.
The melons were shipped to New
York by S. j. Malherbe, commission
merchant of Ceres, and are labeled
the "Morgenson Brand. These
melons came in fine condition, tho a
long distance, and have the same
shipping quality as the honey dews
that are grown here. In fact they
look just the same and grow in size
the same as the local product. One
thing was noticeable and that was
the lack of uniformity of the pack
| thaN is given here. Local shipments
so cut with uniform sizes. but these
melons varied considerably.
The shipment to Hilvert & Hosler
was sent from New York by dealers
there who handle the Gerard pro-
| ducts and they are to be used for
seed. For the past couple of years
rust has infected some fields and it
is hoped that by the introduction of
new seed the rust can be eliminated.

Tree Makes Best
Monuments For
Departed Hero
By THOMAS B. MEEHAM

Soldiers Memorials are taking form
in many ways. but none have held as
much interest as the planting of
trees. either as units, or for shade
trees along streets, avenues, or park
, ways, each tree being permanently
marked with the name and record of
n departed soldier.
monument is simply a marker.
1t has no use other than that, and to
be gazed upon by the passer by, or
visitor-but a tree or an avenue of
| trees. does more than that. 1t not
only represents permanent memoir
ial-a living object-to the one for
whom it is planted, but it affords
shade and beauty to the populacn in
general
The idea is to certain extent. not
original in the present day. In Phil
adelphia, we have the Penn Treaty
Elm, beneath whose spreading limbs,
Penn signed the treaty with the Ind
ians, and in many parts of the Eas.
there are still standing many old
Individual trees or avenues of
trees which are now being planted
to mark the names of those who fell
| in the late war will be honored by
our children and grand children i'll
years to come and will be looked up
| on in future generations with the
same reverence as we, of today, look
upon those native trees which repre-
sent some historic event of the early
| history of our country.
In selecting the particular variety
of trees for such planting consid-
Grafton must be given; first, to one
which is long lived second, one that
will thrive in the locality in which it
is to grow, and third, freedom from
insect pests and diseases.
| From our years of experience in
growing and handling nursery stock
and shipping to all parts of the Unit
ed States, we feel that there are but
| three varieties which cover these re-
quirements. The Sugar Maple and
| Red and the Pin Oak.
When planting these trees on av-
enues, they should be set not over
SO feet apart and not less than 80
feet. If closer they will crowd in
time, and the lower branches will die
Off Thirty to fifty feet apart will
allow ample room for their full devel-
opment. without crowding.
Any good rich soil is suitable for
their growth, and if these conditions
do not exist, then they should be
treated by digging holes not less
than three feet in diameter and eigh-
teen inches deep, the poor soil re-
moved and good soil obtained and
this should be mixed with well rotted
manure.
The best size tree to use for such
planting is one which will be large
enough to take care of itself, and
yet not too large so that the effect of
transplanting will not be too great.
