to Treat Trees

<?SNo
matter how carefully a tree

roots, that is the small fibres
which are alone c< ncerned in
getting food from the soil, are all
fined up and destroyed. Hence
to planting we should prune the

*CY DIRECT FROM T11K NURSERY.
l>o not deal with a traveling
salesman, no matter if he represents
a reliable nurserv, for by
Jealing directly with the nursery
can always get better trees
mud at lower prices. Do not let
mmy one persuade you that farfatcheed
trees are better than
ftwmegrown ones. Get the trees
flrom the nearest reliable nursery
Send the nurseryman (or more
Xban one of them) a list of what'
you want to plant, and ask him
to put his lowest prices on the
list for cash, and tell him that he

And nothing else.
PLANT YEAR-OLD TREES.
Never plaut any tree older
'fean .one year from the graft or
Hud.
ft>f course no one ever plauts
ij)*ach (trees older than this, but
vriikeu it comes to apples and
9**rs, etc., people want big trees,
ow if jou buy the ordinary
dbaree or four-year-old apple trees
it will be utterly impossible to
them into the shape you
afcouhl. The nurseryman knows
flbat people buy trees, as a rule,
fry height, and he grows them as
fell as possible. At the end of
ifce year he heads them back
dlightly, and in the crowded nurmry
rows they start unsymmet
?cal heads and too high from the
ground, and when you plant these
oki trees you have got to accept
the uurBery head and the tall
?b?m.
But if you plant a yearling
.free it is a mere switch full of
buds all ready to start. Then
you can out it so as to form the
fcead of the tree where the head
always should be in the south,
mclj a few inches from the ground.
48 Mr. Hales, the great Georgia
peach grower, said last Winter
at the meeting of the Virginia
orticultural Society: "What
do you waut with a trunk to a
tiruit tree more than enough to
old the head? In my big orchard
i*i Georgia I have no such thing
we a step-ladder and do not need
mny. Last summer a man sat on 1
ground under one of my trees <
and gathered half the crop on the 1
Department.
tree before getting on hia feet."
PRUNING TH* 8PR0UT8.
Therefore in planting a tree 1
would select a one year tree,
would prone the roots carefully,
when the earth is not wet. I
would put the top soil in the
bottom of the hole, but never
anything like manure in contact
with the roots. I would ram
everv inr.h of noil nut. in ??j ti?ht
]y hb netting a gate post, and
would never allow the earth to
be settled by pouring water in
the hole. Then when the tree is
set cut the top off about
eighteen to twenty iuches from
the ground. It is very common
to see tall stemmed trees here
with the bark Killed by sun scald
on the southwest side. With the
short stem one canjeasily stick a
shingle on that side to keep the
anil f\ ff till tl.o or 1?...
uuiji v? ji iuv tvp nj/icajo tu
shade it, as it will in one season
with such a short stem. Peach
trees we would head not over
eight or ten inches from the
ground. Not only does the low
head soon protect the stem from
the sun, but the tree is more ac
cessible for spraying and gather
ing the fruit, and a tall trunk
merely makes the reverse of this,
with the udded tendency to blow
over by the wind.
WHAT VARITIK8 TO PLANT.
Ana now let me suggest to you
the varieties best suited to the
Oarolinas and adjoining States.
APPLES.?Plant some of the
summer varieties for the home
markets, such as Early Harvest,
Red Astrakan and Carolina Red
June. Then for fall and early
winter use plant the Bonum, the
best fall apple grown anywhere,
and a native of this state. Also
Fall Pippin, Johnathan and
Grimes Goldeu. For winter plant
Stayman VVinesay, York Im
perial; a few Lady Apples, a lit
tie apple which sells for higher
prices than any other apple, but
is rather uncertain as to bearing,
but good specimens will often
bring $20 a barrel at Christmas
I should have said that for fall
some of the old Horse- app) s
should always be planted. The
Royal Limbertwig is also good
for winter, but we would not I
plant the old Limbertwig nor the
Ben Davis, for people are finding
out how poor an apple the Ben
Davis is, and it is certain to sell
for low prices in the future. Do
not plant too many varieties.
PEACHES.?For the home
market plant both the earliest
aud the latest, while for North
em shipping there id no use to
plant any later than Elberta.
Sneed ie the earliest peach, but
small and generally poor. But
its earliness sells it, for it ripens
here the last of May. Qreens
boro is a good early peach, and
quite a showy one for au early
peach.
Mary's Choice, Reeve's Favorite,
Crawlord Late, Lady Ingold
and Elberia are all good. Elberta
is a gre..t market peach
and sells on its showy looks,
tnough it is not of high quality.
Late ones tor home use are Beer's
Smock, Chair's Choice, Algiers
Winter and Ilinggold Health.
PLUMS?.Plant the Japan varieties:
Abundance, Burbank,
Chabot, Satsuma Blood, Gold
and Ogon, and a tew Kesley tor
very late.
PEARS.?If you are going to
give the tree the proper care,
you dan grow some of the finer
gorts. Bartlett can be grown
