Corn stalks cut up make a good mulch for 
strawberries. Clean the bods now thoroughly 
and apply the mulch after the first hard 
freeze. This mulch is not to be removed iu 
the Spring but left, first to protect the berries 
and then to become incorporated with the soil. 
Unlike straw or hay or manure, it contains no 
seeds to germinate and interfere with the 
strawberry plants. 
Lazy fanners usually have two scapegoats, 
viz., bad luck and bad help. They are too 
lazy—too narrow-minded—too mean to place 
the blame jus + where it belongs—on themselve s 
IT is well for beginners to know that when 
they set out grape vines they need not look for 
abundant crops in less than four years. Even 
currants, raspberries and blackberries require 
three years before they will yield well. 
Apples and pears often disappoint the inex¬ 
perienced who set out their firet trees. Apples 
need at least ten years before they come into 
bearing—standard pears from five to eight... 
Are your fruit trees infested with borers* 
bark lice and all sorts of diseases? Insects 
are great pests certainly, and you seem to 
have more than your share. You cannot eat 
your pie and keep it too. You have starved 
and neglected your trees and herein lies the 
cause of your "bad luck" .. .. 
Viburnum Plicatlm (the Plicate-leaved or 
Japan Snowball) is one of those elegant shrubs 
that should be represented in the choicest 
collections. There are a few plants which as we 
learn to appreciate them through years of 
companionship, we take a delight in commend¬ 
ing to our readers—and this is one. The old 
Guelder Rose or Snowball Tree, is often seen in 
gardens aud is prized for its balls of flowers, 
though the foliage is uot pretty and the 
branches querl and twist in every direction- 
The Plicate-leaved Viburnum not only fully 
takes the place of the Guelder Rose, but one 
grows unwilling to give the latter room in 
his garden after he has seen the mature beauty 
of the other. It has been known in this 
country to a few for 40 years. As it is hard 
to propagate and requires care iu transplant¬ 
ing, it is still rare. When once established, 
however, it is full of vigor—very hardy and 
needs no more attention than a Lilac. Its 
habit is compact; the leaves are of a dark, 
rich green, and so wrinkled (plicated) that it i s 
really desirable for its foliage alone. But its 
snowballs, too, are exceedingly fresh and 
durable. They are of a white color faintly- 
tinted with green, and beginning hi bloom late 
in May, last for a month or more, finally 
dropping, while still unfaded.
