Helping the French Orchardists 



TpHE Horticultural Society of New York 

 •*■ is making an effort to render practical aid 

 to the devastated orchards of France. The 

 Treasurer, Mr. Frederic R. Newbold, Pough- 

 keepsie, N. Y., has already been able to trans- 

 mit nearly $2,000 through one of the members 

 of the Society, who is also a member of the 

 American Government Commission for the 

 restoration of the devastated villages of 

 France, and has volunteered to personally at- 

 tend to the distribution of any funds that are 

 sent over by the Horticultural Society of New 

 York. The response from the membership 

 of the organization was so gratifying that the 

 Society decided to broaden its appeal and is 

 now asking the active support and coopera- 

 tion and subscriptions from members of the 

 other societies and garden clubs. Subscrib- 

 ers can feel assured that any funds put into 

 the hands of the officers of the Horticultural 

 Society of New York will really reach those 

 who are in need of them. It is estimated 

 that more than a mil- 

 lion of fruit trees and 

 berry bushes had been 

 wantonly destroyed in 

 Northern France up to 

 June. 



Interest is centred 

 not only in replanting 

 devastated lands with 

 new trees, but also in 

 the work of distribut- 

 ing graft wood and bud 

 sticks for their recon- 

 struction, where the 



Application of the "top- 

 working" idea to rehabili- 

 tate the orchards, perhaps 



trees had been cut off with better varieties 

 short as is shown in the accompanying 

 illustration. Grafting methods will fortu- 

 nately save and reconstruct thousands upon 

 thousands of the destroyed orchards. The 

 Horticultural Society of New York has iden- 

 tified itself very closely with beneficent ac- 

 tivities in connection with the International 

 Flower Shows in New York. During the 

 last three years more than $27,000 has been 

 handed over to the Red Cross and War 

 Relief Committees cooperating. 



The Garden Magazine urges its readers 

 to contribute their share in the fund now 

 open for the relief of the French orchar- 

 dists. Sums of $1.00 and upward will be 

 gratefully acknowledged by the Editor, or 

 they may be sent direct to the treasurer, as 

 above.

 HEALTH 

 HEAT 



Saves Coal 



BY saving coal, we main- 

 ly mean that it gives 

 more heat from the 

 same coal. You may not 

 burn any less coal; but you 

 will have every room of 

 your house filled with a de- 

 lightful tonic health heat. 

 A heat that is noiseless, 

 leakless and dustless. 



You get more heat, and you 

 get a heat that ventilates 

 while it heats. A heat that 

 you can use to warm your 

 house in the winter, and 

 cool it in the summer.

— LATE FALL PLANTING — 



May be done in the North if the plants are rightly cared for. This refers 

 to hardy perennials and bulbs. Deciduous shrubs and trees, if banked 

 may be planted until winter. 



When perennials are set late they should be in well-drained soil and 

 protected the first winter. Tulips, narcissus, crocuses, when set late in 

 the North should be covered enough to keep them from frost the first 

 third of the winter, so that the new roots may form. This covering should 

 be removed early in spring.
