TO DESTBOY WILD CHEBKIES. 



I would like to know how to destroy 

 wild cherry bushes, which have grown 

 near a wall. E. L. 



The best plan is, of course, to dig 

 the plants out by the roots. If you 

 do not want to go to this trouble, cut 

 them down to the ground and cut down 

 any sprouts which may appear. Do 

 this several times during the season, 

 and you will soon kill out the cherries, 

 which, while they are pretty in flower 

 and fruit, are always headquarters for 

 tent caterpillars. C. W.
