Notes From New England 
ANY farm home can now enjoy the luxury 
and convenience of a modern bathroom. 
Basin, tub and closet can be supplied 
with plenty of water, hot and cold, if your 
home is equipped with a Delco-Light Water 
System. Any time of the day or night you 
can be sure of an ample supply, for the 
Delco-Light Water System is entirely auto¬ 
matic in operation. 
Plant one-year-old trees to save money, with¬ 
out losing: time. Saving is believing. Write 
me about it. I catling varieties. List mailed free.

a sign of Winter injury. I began pick¬ 
ing it two weeks before the Columbians 
were ripe, and was still picking when 
practically till of the Columbians had 
gone. 'I'liin would indicate llial the La¬ 
tham may not he just the kind of berry 
to please commercial growers who like 
to get all of their crop in a short time, 
but. on the other hand, it proves it to he 
an ideal berry for family use. The fruit 
is large, of good flavor, and has not 
dropped lo any extent in spite of much 
rainy weather we have had. My experi¬ 
ence with rhe Ontario raspberry has also 
been very satisfactory. I think that this, 
too, is going lo make a first-class variety 
for New Mngland. Small fruits are prov¬ 
ing very profitable for farmers and mar¬ 
ket gardeners who are situated near the 
State highway where (hey can sell to the 
automobile trade. The motorists are not 
buying quite so freely or paying exor¬ 
bitant prices quite so readily as they did 
a few years ago. At (he same time many 
people who own machines are making u 
practice of going into the country to buy 
produce, because they kuow that they 
makes an application of nitrate of soda 
just as the (lowers form. Sometimes he 
uses bonemeal, and occasionally soot, 
when he wants to get particularly good 
foliage. There are some mistaken no¬ 
tions about Gladiolus bulbs, people be¬ 
lieving that the older the bulbs are the 
better are the blooms they will get. This 
is not true. The finest flowers are given 
the third year from the bulblet. After 
that the bulbs begin to deteriorate, and 
the bigger bulbs fail to produce as good 
(lowers as those which are smaller. 
Roadside Skins.— One of the most in¬ 
teresting roadside signs is reported from 
Connecticut, and has been mentioned by 
one of rhe bulletins of the Connecticut 
Agricultural College. The accompanying 
illustration shows the sign, which reads 
simply “Berries ahead. Mai us you go.” 
Several of the peach growers around New 
England have arranged a series of signs 
leading from the main highway to their 
orchards. Sometimes an arrow is used to 
point the way, while in other eases the 
sign simply reads “This way to the peach 
orchard.” E. I. f.

this point. It nil has to be hauled by 
automobiles or wagons, as the market 
bouse is a considerable distance from 
trains and wharves. Now a project has 
taken shape and seems certain to materi¬ 
alize by which a new market house will 
be established on the waterfront near the 
present fish pier, and with trackage for 
1.000 cars. Practically all of the pro¬ 
duce shipped into Boston by train or boat 
will go direct to this market, and will 
require no hauling. The result will be a 
great saving in expense, and will ease the 
situation at the Quincy and Faneuil Hall 
markets to a remarkable extent. 
Raspberries and Currants. — The 
Latham raspberry, which was formerly 
the Minnesota No. 4, has again proven 
the best raspberry on my place. Last 
Winter was a bad one for many rasp¬ 
berry growers. At the Essex County 
School, for example, where many varie¬ 
ties ate being tried out, practically tlH 
kinds were killed back so that this year’s 
crop has been very light. Latham came 
through the Winter on my place without 
front one to 10 acres arc given over 
wholly to these flowers. In Massa¬ 
chusetts alone there are over a dozen 
men and women who grow the flowers 
and bulbs on a commercial scale. It is 
a flower, for one thing, which is in great 
demand by hotels and restaurants, be¬ 
cause it keeps longer when on the table 
•ban any other flower which can be used. 
It can be grown, too, where the land is 
not very rich. The well-known farm of 
It. Hammond Tracy, of Wenharn. was 
known throughout the neighborhood as a 
run-out piece of property when Mr. 
Tracy went there. Yet within a very 
few years be was growing Gladioli in a 
large way. Mr. Tracy has found lime of 
great advantage in getting good bulbs, 
lie says that in 21 years he has used BO 
carloads of lime on his 27 acres. lie 
believes I bat lime is of special value on 
gravelly soil to help hold the moisture, 
and he used four tons an acre, working 
it into the ground with a disk harrow*, 
lie has used some cow* manure, but is 
now substituting sheep manure, and

^ Improving Market Facilities. — 
Farmers who carry their goods -o the 
Quincy market in Boston will see some 
great changes within the next few 
months. For years this market has been 
becoming more timl more congested. To 
penetrate the mass of men. machines, 
pushcarts and peddlers’ wagons oround 
the market house early in the morning 
is almost as much as one’s life is worth. 
It hits been said, and is probably (be 
truth, that as much time is occupied by 
market gardeners bringing in produce in 
covering the three blocks leading to the 
market as in the rest, of the journey 
from their farms 15 or 20 miles away. 
It would be well enough if only local sup¬ 
plies were sent | 0 this market, but at the 
present time a large part of till the fruit 
and vegetables shipped to Boston from 
all parts of the country ultimately reach 
can get it fresh in that way. In Con¬ 
cord, Mass., it graduate of the State Col¬ 
lege at Durham, N. 11., has marketed a 
great number of currants and gooseber¬ 
ries this year. ITe tells me that gooseber¬ 
ries sell especially well. If left on the 
vines until they are pretty ripe they 
make a strong appeal to many buyers. 
There is one special advantage in cur¬ 
rants in the fact that they can be left a 
long while without dropping. With rasp¬ 
berries. if for any reason the automobile 
trade is interfered with, the crop must be 
picked and sent to market. But with cur¬ 
rants if can be left for several weeks. 
Growing the Gladiolus. —Apparent¬ 
ly the Dahlia is not the only flower which 
leads the Gladiolus in popularity at the 
present time. New England is blazing 
now with the brilliant blooms of Glad¬ 
ioli. There are scores of farms where
