s;ite, which affords many advantages, 



I as a business location and as a home. 



•,,'• many years Mr. Eosenfield has 



lied at West Point. He took up the 



,,v in a small way when there were 



^■rowers west of the Mississippi and 



:Hlded to his stock year after year 



, lie has become the largest grower in 



region. The peony is his specialty; 



lows no other nursery stock. He 



iiought about everything offered in 



rade and in addition has raised a 



iderable number of seedlings, until 



3 about 700 varieties on the farm at 



Point, with stock enough to give 



over a quarter of a million plants 



they divided for replanting. It is 



urpose to weed out the poorer varie- 



(luring the next year and to stock his 



jilace with only the best of the lot, 



H such as are sure to be in increasing 



:ind for years to come. Omaha will 



liim a better market, both for cut 



IMS and for roots, through improved 



iping facilities and the greater acces- 



iity of his establishment, though in 



nt years some of his cut stock has 



id its way to the Chicago market and 



roots have gone all over the country. 



INSECTS ON GRAPE VINES. 



I'lider separate cover I am sending you 

 .1 jriape vine cutting, which seems to be 

 atlt'cted with some kind of a disease, re- 

 sninbling bacteria in one form and not in 

 another. It appears to me to be stung 

 with some kind of an insect. When 1 

 hioak open the wart-like lumps I find in- 

 side a small brown worm, which I suppose 

 lias been deposited in the shape of eggs 

 (111 the stem of the branch. Above the 

 warts I find an opening where I suppose 

 the insect enters to lay its eggs. Can you 

 tell me if it is a contagious disease or 

 not, and can you suggest a remedy for it, 

 IIS I have never seen anything like it be- 

 fore? The vine appears to have plenty 

 of life otherwise. S. M. P. 



This trouble is not uncommon on grape 

 vines grown outdoors. The best and, in 

 fact, the only remedy is to cut off the 

 •1 fleeted parts and burn them. It is not 

 •inything contagious and will not seriously 

 injure your vines. C. W. 



PRUNING HEDGES. 



Summer is the ideal time for hedge 



pinning. If not already attended to, any 



""^ot hedges should be sheared without 



delay. The California variety, Ligus- 



I'lni ovalifolium, is still largely planted, 



"'1 makes a pretty hedge. Where the 



iiperature does not sink below zero, it 



i^ufe to plant, but in the colder north- 



1 states L. Amurense, Ibota, or even 



l;iarc, are preferable, owing to their 



liter hardiness. 



i'V the way, all the privets are easily 

 pagated now from tops in a close 

 :inc. 



'frberis Thunbergii makes a beautiful 

 ' hedge, and as little shearing as pos- 

 e should be given it, but B. vulgaris 

 i require heading back. Deutzia Le- 

 I'lei makes a stiff and effective hedge, 

 "g beautiful while in flower. It also 

 iild be allowed to grow as naturally 

 ■ possible. 



Arbor-vitse, hemlock spruce and Nor- 



}■ spruce hedges are all better pruned 



;""• This allows of new growths cover- 



' ' •. up any bareness and relieving any 



. ^^'^^y-lilse trimming done before win- 



Among deciduous hedges, those of 

 ^'it^-Egus should have a summer pruning.

in order to thicken them up, as should 

 the American or European beeches. The 

 latter make nice hedges, and hold their 

 foliage well in winter. In hedge trim- 

 ming always avoid a dead formality, 

 unless you are clipping topiary speci- 

 mens. In the case of box the proper 

 time to prune is May, just when growth 

 is starting.
