LAYERING THE
GRAPE

One of the easie and best ways
for the amateur { rdener to increase
his grape vines is by layering. IN
this simple operation one or more of
the long new ,roWths or canes. as
they are usually called, is taken
down from tle trelliS or arbor and
partly buried in the soil without de-
Iaching from the parent vine. The
buried portion of the cane should be
at least three or four nodes or joints
in length and covered to a depth of
about one foot at the deepest point.
The projecting portion of the cane
should be cut to three or four buds
LAyering may be done at this season
or at any time while the buds are
dormant. Under favorable conditions
roots will be put forth from some
Of the buried nodes next Spring. A
year later the new vine may be cut
away from the parent and trans
planted to a permanent location. Lay
ering because of it's very simplicity is
available to any one and in some
ways is more satisfactory than send
ing away for a new vine. In the first
place the cost is less and in the sec
ond place one is absolutely sure of
obtaining the desired variety. Fur
thermore, there is certain pride and
satisfaction to most of us in propa-
eating our own stock.

AT this season, when celery is

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

Do not cut off the asparagus plants
until after they have been killed by
frost. Just as long as the foliage Is
green. food Is being manufactured and
transferred to the large storage roots
for next Springs use.
Pick apples, pears and ounces with
care, especially where the fruit Is
going to be stored for some time.
Injury to the skin is very often fol-
lowed by decay and loss. Picking
baskets may be lined with burlap to
prevent unnecessary bruising.
SQuashes also must be handled with
a great deal of care in picking and
transferring to the cellar or storage.
Do not remove the stem but cut or
break the squash at the point of at
taChment of the stem to the vine
itself. Squash growers usually pile
the squashes in small heaps in the
field where they can continue to

seed firms. Bulbs such as crocus,

should be potted now either in the
fiber mentioned or, better yet, in soil
supplied with leaf mold and we'll
rotted manure. The pots should then
be buried out of doors or covered
with grass or straw mulch in an
outdoor location where they will
keep moist and cool. In this situ-
alton the bulbs will put forth roots
without top growth. When thor
"ughly rooted the potted bulbs may
lie brought into the cool cellar
whence from time to time pots MAY
be brought into the warmer parts
of the home. Too rapid introduc-
zion into heated rooms prevents

imperative that plants be held in 4

1t were not for one fault this variety
would beideal for the home gardener.
The fact that j. H. Hale blossoms re-

serious drawback, and leads to the
warning for home gardeners to avoid
this very attractiv, peach unless they
are prepared to set other varieties in
its Immediate vicinity. Elberta has
proved to be a satisfactory neighbor.
In fact, most any peach blossoming al
