pletely and the leaves are dropping off 

 after drying up. Would the extreme 

 heat cause this? F. M. R. 



The leaves appear to be those of Ca- 

 talpa Bungei, which is frequently grown 

 in standard umbrella shape. Intense 

 heat, running up to 100 degrees in the 

 shade, often causes foliage to turb 

 brown and fall off in this way, particu- 

 larly if it comes after a comparatively 

 cool spell. Probably, however, the tree 

 will make new foliage and not be lost. 

 Keep the soil well stirred, and if all the 

 foliage disappears head the shoots back 

 a little. This will assist in starting new 

 growth. A soaking of water will also 

 be of benefit if the weather should be 

 dry. C. W.

TRANSPLANTINO WALNUTS. 



I have about 3,000 walnut trees about 

 5 years old, which I should like to 

 transplant next fall or in the spring.

What do you think will be the best 

 method and time? Some tell me to first 

 cut the tap root off, but I do not know 

 when I should do that, and if it would 

 help any or not. I live in the northern 

 part of Iowa. B. T. D. 



If the walnuts have not been trans- 

 planted since being raised, they are sure 

 to have long tap roots which must be 

 cut back when transplanting is done. 

 The best times to transplant are in late 

 fall— last half of October or first half 

 of November — and early spring, as soon 

 as the frost leaves the ground. I think 

 in your state the spring would be the 

 safest season to move the trees. The 

 tops may need heading back, too. You 

 can wait and see how the plants break 

 before doing this, but a pruning back 

 will insure a much greater percentage 

 of them growing. It is, of course, easy 

 to carry up a main lead again. C. W.

NAME OF TBEE. 



I wish you would tell me the name of 

 the berries sent under separate cover 

 and also their use. They grow on large 

 trees like cherrjr trees. They call them 

 here wild cherries. B. T. D. 



The name of the tree is Prunus Cera- 

 sus serotina, wild black cherry. The 

 fruit is rather too bitter to use pre- 

 served, but is used a good deal in mak- 

 ing cherry rum, which is valuable in 

 cases of dysentery. C. W.
