The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Apeil 28, 1910. 



than the rule. If in planting, there has 

 been a loss of roots, the top should be 

 cut back enough to balance them, but 

 usually shrubs are hardy enough so that 

 they are as well let alone. At other 

 times there must be very good excuse 

 for pruning. Cutting back spiraeas or 

 lilacs in winter or spring is only cutting 

 off their flowers, without helping the 

 plants much. Most of all, no shrub other 

 than a hedge plant should be sheared 

 round or flat. Nothing can equal in 

 beauty the natural form." 



CHERRY NOT FRUITING. 



A customer has an Early Richmond 

 cherry tree growing on his lawn. It is 

 about 8 years old, a good grower, leaves 

 out nicely and none of the branches ever 

 winter-kill. Every spring it is just 

 loaded with blossoms — a perfect bouquet 

 — but it never yields as much as a tea- 

 cupful of cherries in any one year. 

 Please tell me what I can do that will 

 assist the fruit to set. R. G. 



The cherry tree would undoubtedly pro- 

 duce more fruit, if, instead of being in 

 grass, it were cultivated around. Make 

 a circle six to eight feet across and keep 

 this stirred up. It will materially assist 

 the tree. As a fertilizer, turn in any 

 green crop like clover for nitrogen, and 

 use a little muriate of potash and dis- 

 solve Carolina rock as the other elements 

 of a complete fertilizer. Fruit trees al- 

 most without exception crop much better 

 in cultivated than grass land. C. 



Manchester, Mass. — William Kiss, 

 gardener at Mrs. W. Scott Fitz's estate, 

 Smith's Point, will retire this month. 

 His successor will be Joseph Rogers, of 

 Pittsfield. 



PiTTSFiELD, Mass. — It is stated that 

 200 Enchantress carnations belonging to 

 L. W. Acheson, on Hamlin street, were 

 recently stolen from the cellar where they 

 had been stored, and the thief was found 

 to be a rat, which had completed the 

 robbery in five hours, carrying the flowers 

 a distance of twenty-five feet and de- 

 positing them under a board walk. And 

 one of the most remarkable facts is, that 

 the rat showed great discrimination and 

 aesthetic taste, or some other sort of taste, 

 choosing the Enchantress blooms and 

 rejecting the other varieties.
