JAPANESE MODE OF GRAFTING. 
We have received from J. L. Normand, 
Marksville, La., well known as the breed¬ 
er of the Carnegie orange, the most 
successful hybrid between the common 
sweet orange and Citrus trifoliata, the in¬ 
teresting specimen of cutting-graftage 
shown below, which Mr. Normand 
terms Japanese grafting. The scion is 
incised in about the same method as the 
stock would be in ordinary splice-graft¬ 
ing, the sharpened head of the stock fitted 
into the cut in the side of the scion, the 
lower end of which extends to or below 
the level of the roots of the stock, and the 
union well covered with waxed cloth and 
thread. .When this cutting-graft is 
planted the free lower end of the scion 
is able to absorb moisture from the soil 
and often to emit roots of its own, at the 
same time being nourished by its vital 
connection with the stock. The cut illus¬ 
trates a Japanese graft made by Mr. Nor¬ 
mand of an Oriental walnut, but the meth¬ 
od may be applied to any species, and is 
naturally most useful with varieties that 
root as cuttings with difficulty when 
planted in the ordinary way. 
This cutting-graft or Japan method is 
in particular favor in Australia for the 
purpose of getting apple varieties locally 
suitable or Northern Spy or other stocks 
resistant to Woolly aphis or “American 
blight,” as it is there called. Long 
scions of Northern Spy are grafted in 
the manner shown on ordinary apple 
seedling stocks and carefully planted, tak¬ 
ing especial pains to firm the soil about 
the lower end of the scion, which gener¬ 
ally throws out roots of its own after it 
has grown a year or two. The top is 
then budded or grafted to the desired 
variety, and when transplanted from the 
nursery row the original stock is en¬ 
tirely cut away, leaving the tree wholly 
on Northern Spy or other resistant roots. 
Hydrangea Fails to Bloom. 
G. L. B., Elizabeth, IV. Va .—Will someone 
tell me why my Hydrangea does not bloom 
better? It is about nine years eld and is in 
a large tub, but for the last two or three 
years it has not bloomed much, although it 
is very large. 
Ans, —Hydrangeas felooin altogether on 
the new wood, and unless the growth of 
the previous year is severely cut back 
each season the flower heads will be few 
and far between. The nine-year plant 
ought to bloom profusely. It should have 
a good resting period through the Win¬ 
ter and become perfectly dormant. Just 
as the buds start in the Spring, cut back 
the old woody growth to within two or 
three buds of the soil. Give your plant 
good treatment and expose it to all the 
light and sunshine possible, and you will 
probably have an abundance of blooms 
during midsummer. Possibly your plant 
has become starved or root bound, al¬ 
though you say it is in a large tub. In 
that case it should be given a still larger 
tub or box, or the clumps divided by 
cutting in several pieces, which may be re¬ 
planted repeatedly in smaller receptacles. 
Mildew on Roses. 
(). A. ,1., Pocotnoke City, Md .—I have two 
Philadelphia Rambler roses that you sent 
me as premiums some time ago. They have 
both made fine growth and bloomed last 
Spring, but just before blooming the leaves 
become full of something that looks like 
road dust sprinkled on them while damp; 
they finally dry up and fall off; the blooms 
also dry up and fall off before they bloom 
out. Can you tell me what the trouble is, 
and give me an idea what to do to prevent 
it? 
Ans.—T he dusty appearance of Philadelphia 
Rambler is probably caused by Rose mildew, 
a very common disease attacking about all 
varieties of roses in wet seasons. The best 
and practically the only treatment is to 
sprinkle or dust the foliage with powdered 
sulphur while wet with dew. The heat of 
the sun will partially vaporize the sulphur 
and cause it to kill out the mildew. Appli¬ 
cations should be very thoroughly made and 
repeated as often as necessary. When mil¬ 
dew has once made its appearance it i,s not 
easy to get entirely rid of it until the next 
season. Though a troublesome cornpla’nt, 
hindering foliage and blooms, it does not 
often kill the plants.

HOW TO GROW A FRUIT GARDEN 
Hero Is C. A. Green’s plan fora fruit garden, which can he made smaller or larger 
as desired. Several kinds of fruit can he grown in each of the rows of trees. Several 
kinds of grapes can be grown in one row of grapes, and several kinds of berries in one 
row of berry plants or bushes. It is simply an idea which I desire to express in the above 
engraving as to the laying out of a fruit garden so that it can be cultivated with a horse 
and cultivator same as a field of corn or potatoes. A fruit garden of the size illustrated 
should yield a revenue each year of *500 or more. Can you imagine any addition to 
the farm which would be more attractive than such a fruit garden as this, especially 
for the wife and children? 
Our Mr. C.A. Green is often asked by his patrons to make a selection of fruit 
for the home garden. Below he offers two valuable collections, at bargain 
prices, to introduce our trees, plants and vines into new sections.
