Raising Ginkgo from Seed 
I have some seed from the ginkgo tree 
which I would like to plant. Would you 
give the best way to pla t and what time 
of the year? This tree is used for a shade 
tree, like a maple, and I would like to 
grow some, S. T. o. G. 
Elizabeth, N. J. 
The ginkgo, or mnidon-hear tree, is easily 
grown from seed stratified in Autumn, 
and sown the following Spring, Put the 
seed in layers in a box of sand, and keep 
in a cold cellar or vegetable pit. Then 
sow as soon as the ground can be worked 
in ttpring, and give the seedlings clean 
cultivation. This tree, a native of North¬ 
ern China and Japan, is esteemed as a 
street tree because of its upright habit 
and freedom from insect injury, and also 
gives a picturesque effect, when' planted as 
a solitary specimen. The kernels of the 
fruit are esteemed as food in China and 
Japan. It is not very well known as vet, 
though introduced to America early in 
the last century. It is known bv two 
botanical names. Ginkgo bilobu and Salis- 
bnna udiantfolia. In its native homo it 
last all day? 
Easy to start from the breakfast table with 
zest and enthusiasm, but how easy is it to 
keep on? Does ambition last, or lag, as the day 
develops? 
The afternoon “slump” is a factor to be count¬ 
ed upon, in business or social life. 
Usually, there's a reason. 
Nerves whipped by tea or coffee won't keep 
on running, and they won’t stand constant, 
whipping. 
Many a man or woman who has wished the 
afternoon would be as bright as the morning has 
sirriply been wishing that the nerves wouldn’t 
have to pay the natural penalty for being whipped 
with the caffeine drug. 
Postum gives a breakfast cup of comfort and 
cheer, without any penalties afterward. There’s 
no “letting down” from Postum — no midday 
tor sterilization of soil in the greenhouse, 
us it necessary to cover soil with canvas 
or newspaper, and how long should this 
cover he left on the soil? j. w. G. 
Orchard Park, N. Y. 
Formaldehyde is used at the rate of 
three pints (o 50 gallons of water, and 
this quantity of dilute solution is applied 
to about .10 square feet of space. It will 
not be necessary to cover the soil after 
treating, though the soil should be allowed 
to lie for several days, and then he thor¬ 
oughly stirred before planting or sowing 
seeds in it. E. j. w 
Think it over. There’s full satisfaction in 
Postum — a cup of comfort for anybody (the 
children included), any time. 
You can get Postum from your grocer or 
your waiter today, and probably you’ll begin to 
have better tomorrows, as so many thousands 
have had, who have made the change from coffee 
to Postum. 
Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (In tins) 
made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. 
Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who 
prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) 
made by boiling for 20 minutes. Sold by all grocers. 
Precocious Fruiting Scions 
There bus been the statement published 
in some of the recent, papers that pear 
and apple scions sent to this country from 
France in the Fall of 101S all lived, and 
that, the pears bore fruit in 1020. Is this 
possible? M. >1. T. 
Many of the statements published in 
the daily papers are of very little use or 
value, and few of them should be taken 
seriously. It is, of course, quite possible 
that apple and pear tree scions might be 
grafted into benriug wood in the Winter 
of I01S and after two seasons’ growth 
produce n few fruits. That is not im¬ 
possible, but Aif course such a crop would 
not he a normal one. There would only 
be one nr two fruits and nothing like a 
lull crop. It occasionally happens that 
scions placed in hearing trees will pro¬ 
duce fruit the .eoond season. This, how¬ 
ever, is rather exceptional, Tt is reported 
that the new apple known as Golden De¬ 
licious has been known to do this in a 
number of cases. Of course if such scions 
are placed In young trees or in the posi¬ 
tion where they do nor make fair growth 
they might not produce fruit for several 
years, and that is the general habit. You 
will understand that these imported scions 
must he grafted into other trees. It is 
not. necessary for you to cut these scions 
for grafting until midwinter. Grafting 
itself is done in February or March. 
Many scions arc cut. in the Fall and win¬ 
tered over by lav ing tbem in the soil, blit

Onion Culture 
I want some information about grow¬ 
ing onions, and know of no better place 
to go for it than to Tiik R. N.-Y. First, 
I am told that when they begin to bottom 
the tops should be broken down or rolled, 
so as to stop the top growth and cause 
the bottoms to develop. Do you think it 
advisable to do so? In cultivating should 
the rows be ridged, or should the culti¬ 
vation ho level? w. s, b. 
Level culture is used for onions on up¬ 
land soils ns well as ou the large muck 
areas. Plenty of nitrogenous fertilizer, 
hen manure and cow manure having the 
preference. is an essential requirement. 
Cultivation is extremely important. cv?n 
though weeds are a negligible quantity. 
We have experimented with plots of 
onions and find a very noticeable differ¬ 
ence between plots cultivated weekly and 
those cultivated once in two weeks.
