Y^OUXG trees and shrubs in nursery 

 rows will not suffer nearly so much from 

 the effects of liot, dry weather if the soil 

 in which they are growing is frequently 

 stirred, and 1 even think a good stirring 

 of the soil does more good than twice as 

 much time spent with a hose in watering. 

 Plants recently moved will, nevertheless, 

 require watering in extremely dry 

 weather, especially evergreens. 



There is no other plant that makes 

 such a show when planted for ground 

 cover, in front of or among shrubs, as 

 the English ivy. It will grow almost any- 

 where, although a shady situation suits it 

 ))est. If the shoots are pegged down to 

 the soil they will quickly send out roots, 

 and in a little while will cover the soil 

 with a luxuriant growth of soft, shiny 

 shoots and leaves. All that this ivy 

 needs anywhere for protection is a cover- 

 ing of coarse stable manure, put over 

 root and branch and left there until 

 spring. 



Under the new inspection law, Di- 

 rector H. L. Russell, of the Wisconsin 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, has ap- 

 pointed A. J. Rogers as orchard and nur- 

 sery inspector. The new law not only 

 requires the certification of stock shipped 

 into the state and the inspection and 

 certification of stock grown in Wiscon- 

 sin, but requires a license with a fee of 

 $10 for each person selling nursery stock 

 in the state. Firms outside of the state 

 may secure the license upon payment of 

 the fee and by showing that the premises 

 have been inspected by those authorized.

TROUBLES WITH THE PEACH. 



[An extract from a paper by Lt A. Berckmans, 

 of Augusta, (ia., read at the Rochester meeting 

 of the American Association of Nurserymen.] 



Peach Tree Borer. 



In the treatment for peach tree borer, 

 the old method of worming the trees dur- 

 ing winter has been found ineffective, 

 principally because the worms caused too 

 much damage before being removed. In 

 early spring the earth should be removed 

 from about the body of the tree down to 

 the crown, all gummy exudations scraped 

 off and a careful search made for the 

 borer. For this purpose use a farrier's 

 knife or a tool especially made for scrap- 

 ing peach trees. Apply a wash to a 

 height of eighteen to twenty inches, al- 

 lowing this to run down well on the 

 roots. As soon as this wash is applied, 

 draw up the ^arth to the trees, forming 

 a cone about six inches above the level. 

 A second coating of this wash should be 

 applied during August, if the first wash 

 begins to get thin. • During the last of 

 October remove the mound from around

the trees, thoroughly scrape and clean 

 the bark as in the spring, and give an- 

 other application of the wash. This is a 

 vigorous treatment, but effective. The 

 wash above mentioned is made aa fol- 

 lows: One bushel of quick lime, twenty 

 pounds of sulphur, one gallon of coal tar, 

 fifty gallons of water. Mix the tar and 

 sulphur in ten gallons of water in a bar- 

 rel; add the lime; keep well stirred. 

 When entirely slaked, dilute to fifty gal- 

 lons. 



Curculio. 



This little Turk is the cause of the loss 

 of many carloads of fruit annually, and 

 vigorous warfare should be waged 

 against this pest. Wild plum, crab apple 

 and haw trees are excellent breeding 

 places for this insect, and the careful 

 cultivator will see that such trees are 

 removed from the vicinity of the orchard. 

 It is also well to remove all woods ad- 

 joining the orchard. If this is not prac- 

 ticable, the woods should be burned over 

 in the late winter, so as to kill all the 

 undergrowth. All stumps, roots, pieces 

 of bark and other debris in the orchard 

 should be removed, as these afford hiber- 

 nating places for the curculio. 



Another way to destroy the curculio is 

 to jar the trees, catching the insects on 

 cloth-covered frames especially made for 

 the purpose. This jarring should be 

 done early in the morning and late in the 

 afternoon, when the curculio is dormant. 

 The jarring should commence as soon as 

 the fruit is set, and should be continued 

 as long as necessary. Spraying for cur- 

 culio has not been entirely successful; 

 but if two pounds of arsenate of lead, 

 added to fifty gallons of Bordeau, are 

 used when spraying for brown rot, many
