TREES a PUNTS THAT GROW 
Grapes for Jelly and Jam 
On pngc 1GB is a question from R. E. 
B. regarding wild grapes. F. E. G., in 
answering this, states: “Many cultivated 
varieties of grapes are capable of pro¬ 
ducing fruit that will make as tine jellies 
as has been produced from the wild 
form.” I had supposed the. wild grape 
made better grape juice and jelly than 
the cultivated varieties. Will F. E. G. 
name the varieties which he refers to? 
Windsor. Conn. E. p. 
While it is quite generally believed 
that the jellies, jams, etc., made from 
wild grapes are superior to the ,same 
products made from the cultivated kinds, 
yet several comparisons made for a num¬ 
ber of years show that certain of the 
latter make as good, and in some in¬ 
stances better products, than made from 
the wild. The chief reasons that wild 
grapes are given the preference in some 
localities are. first, the Wild grapes are 
usually gathered before they are mature. 
This condition always results in a better 
product than is obtained from cultivated 
grapes that have ripened fully on the 
vines. Secondly, the varieties that are 
most commonly cultivated for dessert 
purposes are not the best sorts for jellies 
and jams. 
For a light-colored, dear-flavored jelly 
no variety can surpass Iona if it be 
gathered before it is ripe. For darker- 
colored jellies and jams Clinton. Norton, 
Isabella and Wine Kiug, gathered early, 
are excellent. Ontario, a recent produc¬ 
tion, also makes a fine light-colored jelly. 
This list could easily be doubled.

Sweet Potatoes in the Home Garden 
I saw an inquiry in a recent issue in 
regard to raising sweet potatoes. Our 
experience of this past, year would hardly 
be practicable on a large scale, but for 
the farm garden it. might- be of some help. 
One root weighed 7 lbs. when taken from 
the ground, and there were two or three 
others in the same hill weighing over a 
half-pound. A group of five potatoes 
weighed MO lbs. and a couple of ounces. 
One bill contained nine potatoes of nearly 
the same size, the whole weighing 11 lbs. 
All of these potatoes were solid and of 
as gei d flavor as the smaller ones. These 
potatoes were called Nancy Hall, and 
were more yellow in color and sweeter 
and richer than any other potato we liad 
ever tasted, except, the Georgia “Yaller 
Yam.” When baked in a pan there is 
always a thick syrup around them of 
their own juice. 
Two years ago we had two rows of 
cantaloupes in the garden, and each hill 
was well enriched with rotted manure. 
Last, year the same ground was prepared 
for gardening as usual, and again manure 
was scattered, but this time just along 
the rows, and well incorporated with the 
soil. Then the hills were made for the 
melons, about six or eight feet apart. 
Sweet potato plants were set between tb« 
bills, in order that the vines might shade 
the melon vines in the very hot' weather. 
The usual cultivation for melons was 
given. It. is unnecessary to say the po¬ 
tato vines were an adequate sha le for the 
melons, for they grew in proportion to the 
potatoes, some of them running 15 ft. 
The melons- did much better for the shade, 
ami the potato crop was a ‘‘howling suc¬ 
cess.” From two rows about 50 ft. long 
we dug 1M bushels of potatoes, not a half- 
bushel of which were unmarketable. Of 
course, such fertilization is not always 
possible, but. for the family garden it 
would pay. The potatoes remaining in 
the cellar at this time (last of January) 
are keeping well. mks. e. s. l.

FIELD’S GUARANTEED PARENT STRAIN 
Raspberry Cane Borer 
I have a small patch of Columbian rasp¬ 
berries*. and when the new canes are about 
half grown some of them will start to 
wilt about four inches from the top. and 
in a few days will be dry and break off 
at this point. On examination I can find 
no insect, and am at a loss to know the 
cause. Can you tell me if it is an insect 
or a disease, and what is the remedy, if 
flo.v? c. ir.i:. 
Clay. X. Y. 
C. II. F, describee the injury caused 
by the raspberry cane borer. This pest 
is a beetle which lays its eggs in the 
growing cams of raspberries and black¬ 
berries, about six inches back of the tip. 
To protect the <gg so that it will not be 
crushed by the growing tissue, two rings 
of punctures are made by the beetles, one 
above and one below the egg. This causes 
the tip to wilt and die, The egg hatches 
into a worm which begins to bore down 
the stem. The first Winter Is spent an 
inch or two below the lower girdle in 
the cane, and the pest can be killed by 
out ting these tips back three or fou r 
inches before growth starts. Breaking 
oil’ the wilted tips at the lower girdle as 
soon as they are found in Summer re¬ 
moves the egg so the pest can be killed 
at. that period. The secoud Spring the 
worm or larva bores t.» the bottom of the 
earns practically destroying it. The rest 
stage, or pupa srage. is spent in the soil, 
and the new bettle emerges from this to 
continue the two-year cycle. The pest is 
readily controlled by either breaking out 
the wilted tips, thus removing the egg, or 
b.v pruning back the canes in Winter, 
thus removing the worms or larvae.
