A BRIEF note on the death of W. Heins, 

 the German nurseryman from whom large 

 numbers of seedlings are procured, ap- 

 pears in this week's obituary column. 



Bed currant bushes may be pruned 

 in the same way as gooseberry bushes. 

 A peculiarity of the red currant is that 

 it will thrive in more shade than almost 

 any other small fruit tree. 



In pruning peach trees that are 

 trained to walls or wire trellises, all the 

 old wood should be sacrificed, in order 

 to give plenty of room to tie in as much 

 as possible of the Wood of last season's 

 growth. Care should also be taken to en- 

 courage young growth from the base, so 

 as to keep the whole tree well supplied 

 with fruiting wood. 



LILACS. 



'How does one proceed to grow lilacs 

 from their own roots? K. G. 



In regard to the growing of French 

 lilacs, it would not pay to grow them from 

 cuttings. They are usually grown bud- 

 ded or grafted^ The California privet is 

 a favorite stock used to graft them on, 

 and they can be treated in about the 

 same manner as that pursued by the 

 nurserymen in root-grafting apples. 



January and February are good 

 months to graft. When done, keep them 

 in a cool cellar, where they will not start, 

 and plant them outside early in spring. 

 They can be tied in bundles of ten or 

 more after grafting and packed in moss 

 or clear sawdust. Plant so the union is a 

 couple of inches underground, or even a 

 little deeper if the soil is light, and un- 

 der favorable conditions they make fine 

 stock for forcing in two years. 



The Persian lilacs are the kind that 

 root readily from hard wood cuttings. 

 "Wood of them of the past season's 

 growth can be cut into lengths of about 

 four inches and cuttings planted in sand 

 in a cool greenhouse. If made now they 

 would be rooted early in March. They 

 could then be potted in 2i4-inch or 3- 

 inch pots and would be ready to plant 

 in the field during May. In good soil 

 they should grow two feet or more by 

 the fall of 1909 and if wanted for forc- 

 ing could be dug and potted in October 

 and would bloom in the spring of 1910.

SAN JOSE SCALE. 



Time to Apply Remedies. 



Although the San Jose scale occurs on 

 a great many kinds of deciduous trees, 

 its ravages are much more pi'onoiuiced on 

 pear, apple and peach trees than oh any

The right time to buy Roses is when they are fresh and well-ripened. Roses potted up 

 In the Fall or late Winter become better established and force better, and are far more 

 satisfactory in every way, and you can retard or force at your leisure. We recommend the 

 American-grown " Ramblers." Don't attempt to force imported Ramblers; the general 

 experience is that they are failures.
