DETROIT, Mich, June 23,-Into
a department store walked two men.
They looked like customers, but
they didn't buy anything-merely
looked around. They paused at
many a counter, lingering, looking,
passing on.
Finally they turned to walk out
the door Just tren the shrill clat-
ter of an alarm clock came from a
pocket of one of the men. He
blushed,- tried to muffle the sound.
A detective approached; the man
broke into a run. He was cornered
and arrested for stealing the clock
For thirty days he will need no

SEED POTATOES

Many of the suburban gardeners
like TO include a few rows Of early
potatoes i'm the garden. In favorable
wears the potatoes are often planted
about the middle of March. In fact,
March II. on account of its patriotic
association with the Irish potato. is
often selected As the day. Irish Cob
bier Is an excellent early white-skin-
ned variety and Triumph is good in
the red-skin group. Potatoes are prop
agated from cuttings of the tuber IL
self and not from seed in the ordinary
sense OF the word. Each piece of
tuber must have one or more buds,
or eyes. from which point the roots
and new shoots emerge.
The amateur is handicapped in po-
tato growing by a difficulty in obtain.
ing reliable seed. TO take that sold
for table use is n distinct gamble,
both as to variety and quality. Com
mercal growers have learned by sad
experience that the appearance of the
tuber is not good index to seed
value. Several diseases may he car
ried in the tuher and cannot be de-
tected except by growing the plants.
Well grown Seed potatoes are care
fully selected in the field for freedom
from disease But the supply of this
select seed is limited and is used
chiefly by commercial growers. I'm
fortunately the home gardener will
have to get along with ordinary stock
until that time that seedsmen in gen
eral realize the merits of selected or

as recommended by the Department of
Agriculture of the Maryland station at

Red raspberries propagate them

keep the plants to the original rows.
In the home garden raspberries are
generally grown in rows 6 feet apart
and with plants feet apart in the
row. The raspberry root is perennial,
but the canes are biennial. being pro

NITROGEN FOR
FRUIT TREES

During the past decade or so a
great number of carefully planIeu
experiments have been carried out 1T
various sections Of the country upon
the fertilizer needs of fruit trees
And practically without exception
these have shown that nitrogen is the
only important limiting or lacking

types even nitrogen WAS present III

by blowing under green plants. such
as clover. rye or alfalfa. Cnfortu
nately, soils about Washington can
not be claSsed az very fertile. but
respond admirably to added plant
food. Unless one has animal manure
in abundant supply. nitrate of soda
is probably the best ana most rea
sonably priced source OF fertility for
fruit trees The need of such fertilizer
is shown in slow, short growth, yell
lowish foliage and small fruits.
Nitrate of soda is concentrated
substance and can easily injure
Young trees by burning the roots.
Hence the dose is mod fed to suit The
age of the tree. DURING the season of

Spring. The general method Of APP

RASPBERRIES

What a wealth of pleasant memo
ries the very word brings to mind,
especially to those who have lived in
sections of the country where the red
raspberry grows wild in every aban-
doned field or old fence row. The cul-
tivated varieties are even better in
quality and should be included in
every garden large enough to be out
Of the fiower-vegetable class.
The raspberry occurs in three dis
tinct forms-the reds, blacks and pur-
pies, of which the reds and blacks are
distinct species and the puppies are a
hybrid between the other two. AS a
rule the red kinds are the most salts
factory for our local gardeners, a fact
which will please most people. as the
reds are generally preferred.
Cuthbert, Herbert and Latham are
all excellent, but are like other va
rfeties, unfortunately subject to an in
sidious disease known as mosaic.
which gradually weakens the plants
to a condition Of non-fruiting and ulti-
mate death. The only remedy so far
known is prevention. One should start
with healthy plants. and those who
now have thrifty raspberries should
avoid purchasing new stock, except

THE REGAL LILY

Flower growers everywhere will be
greatly Interested i'm Department of
Agriculture Bulletin 1859. entitled
The Regal Lily" prepared by DIR,
David Grifiiths, well known bulb au.
thority. This lily is becoming ex-
tremely popular on account of its
hardness, beauty and general adapt
ability to varied conditions In fact,
the demand is so keen that fun sized
bulbs already sell at rather prohibi-
tive prices.
Fortunately, the Regal lily may be
propagated readily by seed. Detailed
instructions are given in the above
bulletin for seed sowing and care of
the young bulbs in the rather critical
early years. Once established, the
bulbs apparently maintain themselves
indefinitely and flower freely if given

PRUNING METHODS

Quite a little has been said in this
column this Spring concerning tho
pruning Of various fruit trees and
plants. with little or nothing concern
ing methods. Hacking away at tree
with a Ratchet or dull tools is to be
deplored. About the only tools re-
quired are a nair Of sharp pruning
shears for branches and tWigS an
inch or less in diameter and a well
filed one-edged saw for larger limbs
One of the principles of pruning is
to avoid stubs. Cuts should be made
close to side branches. When it be-
comes necessary to cut large branches
the cut should be close to and paral-
lei with the remaining limb or trunk

This will often mean a larger wound
