PEACH AND THE PEAR. 325 



Question 3, Sandy loam, with clay and sand mixed, 

 for sub-soil. Would plant on hill every time, as you are 

 less liable to frost. 



Question 4. I am unable to answer. 



Question 5. In the spring at or about time of 

 blossoming. 



Question 6. I don't think they are scarcely ever 

 killed in winter. 



Question 7. I usually plough about June first and 

 then cultivate enough to keep the soil loose and free 

 from weeds. 



Question 8. Kainit and bone meal, in as large 

 quantities as I am able. Don't think that 1,500 lbs. of 

 Bone Meal and 500 lbs. of Kainit per acre would work 

 any injury. 



Question 9. I pruned my trees severely the first 

 two years, until I got them headed and started to suit. 

 After that only enough to keep in good shape and open 

 to the sun. 



Question 10. It is undoubtedly a fungus, and my 

 treatment is to watch closely during the warm season 

 and remove all blight, promptly, from 12 to 18 inches be- 

 low every sign of the disease. 



Question 11. No answer. 



Question 12. Yes. If not killed they will kill the 

 trees. I use "London Purple."
