i;iches long. Tie these in bundles from 

 100 to 150 each and bury them in the 

 soil outdoors over winter. In spring 

 plant them in nursery rows, just suffi- 

 ciently wide to allow of cultivation by 

 horse or hand. Put the cuttings four 

 inches apart in the rows and bury them 

 two-thirds of their length. Firm them 

 well in the rows and few will fail to 

 root. Select a piece of ground which 

 has been ploughed and well manured, 

 and keep the cultivator well plied be- 

 tween the rows all summer. C. W. 



SAN JOSE SCALE. 



CATEBPILLAB ON FRUIT TREES. 



What is the best way of exterminat- 

 ing tent caterpillars on fruit trees? 



P. S. D. 



Cut off the nests and burn them, if 

 they can be reached.' If too high for 

 this method, use a torch on a pole and 

 burn them. Apple trees will be little 

 troubled by these or other pests if they 

 are sprayed three times each year, as 

 follows: First before the buds de- 

 velop, with Bordeaux mixture ; next just 

 as the flowers fall, with Bordeaux and 

 some poison, such as arsenate of lead, 

 and thirdly when the apples are as 

 large as ripe cherries, with the same 

 preparation. C. W. 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



Would you kindly advise me if it 

 would be all right to take cuttings 

 from an old hedge this fall? Also, if 

 all right, should they be cut to plant- 

 ing lengths at once or would it be best 

 to leave the whip whole until spring? 

 What would be the proper^way to keep 

 them over winter? ^ J. D. M. 



Cuttings of the current season's 

 growth can be taken from your hedge 

 A little later, just before winter sets 

 in. Strip all the leaves from the shoots 

 and make the cuttings five to six 



The shoots forwarded were completely 

 crusted with San Jose scale, one of the 

 most destructive pests in America to- 

 day and which annually destroys many 

 thousands of apples and other fruit 

 trees. You can do nothing towards 

 cleaning out the pest until the leaves 

 fall, after which you must spray every 

 vestige of wood on this and all your 

 other apple trees with either the lime 

 sulphur wash or some soluble oil, of 

 which there are a number of reliable 

 brands on the market for destroying 

 scale. Write to your state college if 

 you can not procure the insecticides 

 conveniently and they will advise you 

 where to procure them and can also 

 give other valuable information. On 

 no occasion neglect spraying, or you 

 will assuredly lose all your trees.

NURSERIES IN IDAHO. 



Charles T. Hawkes, president of the 

 Idaho Nurserymen's Association, re- 

 ports the close of an extremely busy 

 season. "The young trees have all re- 

 ceived their last irrigation, the ground 

 has been cultivated for the last time, 

 and the nurseryman is preparing for his 

 fall delivery. The trees he has been so 

 carefully tendin/ for many months will 

 now be counted up, by grades, and every- 

 thing put in readiness for the prospec- 

 tive planter who has said he was 'going 

 to come to the nursery' for his trees. 



"More and more planters are becom- 

 ing convinced of the positive advantages

of fall planting, but there are all too 

 few of them who will take the trouble 

 to come to the nursery to select their 

 stock right out of the nursery row. We 

 fear that many will be disappointed be- 

 cause of waiting till spring, when the 

 nurseryman is compelled to have his trees 

 all dug and heeled in, ready for delivery, 

 and perhaps all sold, too. We cannot 

 live on promises, but must all rustle our 

 customers and Dook our orders ahead. 

 We most always have our entire stock 

 sold before the spring season opens, for 

 the Idaho nurseries, have never yet raised 

 trees enough to meet the home demand. 

 "The last work of the season was the 

 budding of seedling stocks. Thousands
