FOR SPRAYED FRUIT 
It’s next to impossible nowadays 
to get good prices for fruit unless you 
spray it. Dealers know that sprayed 
fruit is perfect fruit and that un¬ 
sprayed fruit is pretty sure to be 
wormy. If you grow fruit, you need a 
Deming 
SPRAY 
PUMP 
because it is the fruit-grower’s right- 
hand man; a regular standby wher¬ 
ever used. Deming outfits develop 
and hold a high pressure—which is 
absolutely necessary; they work 
easily, and they wear well, because 
well made. Ask your dealer, or write 
us for interesting Catalogue, booklets 
and full information. Accept no sub¬ 
stitute for Deming outfits.

HOLLYHOCK RUST; MOONFLOWER. 
L. E. 11., Avon, O. —1. Last Summer the 
loaves of my hollyhocks seemed to he af¬ 
fected by some disease. The under sides of 
the leaves were covered with tiny brown 
lumps, the leaves curled up and finally dying 
dropped off. Can anything be done to pre¬ 
vent this? 2. Would a lnoonflowcr vine be 
a success on the north side of a building 
where it received the sun only early in the 
morning and late in the afternoon? 
Ans. —1. The disease is hollyhock rust, 
a native of Chili, first introduced to 
Europe and from there brought to the 
United States. It has been disseminated 
all over the country, often making the 
plants very unsightly. Sometimes the 
whole plant is affected and dies as 
though blighted; in milder cases the 
leaves remain green and the plant may 
bloom. As a remedial measure, sponge 
the diseased parts with permanganate 
of potash; two tablespoonfuls of sat¬ 
urated solution diluted with one quart 
of water. Gather up and burn any dead 
ltaves. If the Summer is very dry 
water the plants, as suffering from 
drought weakens the plants and renders 
them more easily affected by disease; 
there are several other troublesome dis¬ 
eases affecting hollyhocks besides rust. 
2. We would not advise planting the 
tnoonflower in the situation named. It 
enjoys a warm, sunny situation, and if 
deprived of this is disappointing; even 
if it makes growth flowers arc few and 
produced too late in the season. The 
best results we ever had with moon- 
flower it was trained against a brick 
wall facing the southeast; it made rapid 
growth, and was starred all over with 
large, milky flowers. 
CROWN GALL AND BLACKBERRIES. 
I have been much interested in what 
you have been saying about crown gall. 
It has been the worst orchard enemy 
that we have had to contend with. In 
an orchard of 200 apple trees planted 
in 1901 we had many well-developed 
cases. As we could get no information 
that gave us any encouragement from 
either the U. S. Bureau of Plant Indus¬ 
try or our State authorities, we started 
to experiment on our own account. We 
found the worst infection on the poorer 
part of the field, and they were all 
found where the field had been covered 
with wild dewberry plants. As we be¬ 
lieved the infection to have originated 
in thp dewberries, and to be all through 
the soil, it was either a fight or tear 
out the trees. We commenced in the 
Spring of 1907, first taking away the 
ground and fibrous roots, leaving the 
galls exposed. Then when we sprayed 
for the San Jose scale we literally 
soaked the galls and the ground about 
them with the lime-sulphur, using it as 
near boiling as possible. Some of the 
trees that had made a very poor growth 
we grafted, cutting away almost all of 
the top. Other trees that had made 
a little better growth, but not up to 
standard, we cut back enough to bal¬ 
ance the root growth. In the years 
1910 and 1911 we used the lime-sulphur 
cold, but next Spring will boil enough 
to treat all infected trees and inci¬ 
dentally kill all the borers in sight. 
Results: Many of the trees that were 
infected four years ago have neither 
fibrous roots nor galls in sight; some of 
the worst infected have both galls and 
fibrous roots, but seem to have taken a 
new lease of life, have better roots and 
are making a fine growth. a. t. b. 
Lock Haven, Pa. 
R. N.-Y.—The Department of Agri¬ 
culture has demonstrated that the germs 
of the crown gall disease live on the 
roots of various plants, including the 
clovers. It is believed that the dis¬ 
ease may be carried in the soil in which 
such plants grow. The statements given 
above were sent to' the Department, and 
the following reply is made: 
“We never have isolated the crown- 
gall organism from the blackberry, hut 
have produced galls on blackberry and 
raspberry vines by inoculating with the 
organisms isolated from peacli and daisy 
gall. It is very likely that the black¬ 
berry is a host of the crown-gall organ¬ 
ism, and it would not be advisable to 
grow either wild or cultivated black¬ 
berry vines between fruit trees, if the 
vines have any trace of galls on the 
crown or stems, for the disease is in¬ 
fectious and can be communicated to 
neighboring trees. If the blackberry 
vines in your correspondent’s orchard 
v/ere affected with crown-gall, he did 
the best thing he could to stop the 
spread of the disease when he killed 
those vines. However, that would not 
cure the disease. Good cultivation and 
feeding will very materially improve his 
trees affected with crown-gall, but will 
not eradicate the disease.”
