“CORONA DRY” 
Arsenate of Lead 
PattnUd Juna 10th,ISIS 
Eliminates guesswork. Standardizes the strength 
ef the spray mixture. Saves work in 
mixing—no straining needed. 
Spray 
with a mixture 
that always has the 
same strength. You cannot 
use a paste arsenate and be sure of 
uniform strength. Large and practical 
usage in all sections, for all purposes, 
has proved that in “Corona Dry” you 
do get this very thing plus highest 
poisoning power, and absolute safety 
from “burning.” 
Largest and Most 
Progressive Growers Everywhere 
say that “Corona Dry” has proved efficient— 
has always the same high efficiency—is more 
simple, cleaner and easier to handle than a 
paste material—is easily mixed and needs no 
straining—can be measured easily and cor¬ 
rectly. “Corona Dry” positively kills and 
exterminates Coddling Moth , Curculio and 
all leaf-eating insects of both fruit and shade 
trees. One pound of “Corona Dry” will 
do the work of three pounds of paste and 
do it better. Write for booklet. Ask for

Ruralisms 
Rosea ; Lilacs; Pecans. 
1. How can I get rose cuttings to take 
root? I have tried many ways but 
failed every time. 2. I have some single 
purple lilac about seven years old, good 
size; look like healthy nice plants, but 
have never bloomed. I have been told 
they get eight or 10 years old before 
they bloom; is this true? 3. We have a 
pecan tree about seven or eight years old,* 
12 feet high; it never bears any nuts. 
How long will it be before it bears? I 
have heard they will bear when they get 
about 18 or 20 years old. A. b. 
Saltillo, Miss. 
1. Southern conditions vary from 
those of the North, but you could doubt¬ 
less take cuttings of ripe wood, in the 
Summer, insert in a well-prepared, half- 
shaded spot in the open ground, and then 
cover with a fruit jar, or other glass of 
sufficient size, leaving undisturbed until 
the following season. A correspondent 
in Louisiana writes us that she is very 
successful there propagating roses in 
this way, which is also satisfactory here. 
The surrounding earth may be moistened 
without raising the covering. 
2. We infer that the lilac named is a 
natural seedling, and one cannot make an 
accurate guess as to its time of coming 
into bloom, as this varies with individual 
plants. We have dug out one lusty seed¬ 
ling that showed no signs of bloom after 
10 years’ growth; in another case a 
seedling bloomed the sixth year. 
3. Seedling pecans are of very uncer¬ 
tain bearing age. Grafted trees may 
bear a few nuts three years after plant¬ 
ing, hut nut growers find it advisable to 
prevent commercial hearing until the 
trees are eight or 10 years old. Some 
varieties are naturally shy or tardy 
bearers. Without fuller data, it is im¬ 
possible to say when you may expect a 
crop from your tree. 
Transplanting Hemlock Spruce. 
In answer to E. E. S., page 212, you 
speak of Hemlock spruce for wind-break. 
What is a hemlock spruce? Last Spring 
I transplanted 30 York State hemlocks 
along the highway in front of my house 
for wind-break as well as improving the 
looks of the place. The sets were taken 
from the woods on my farm, from very 
thick groves, of which I have a large 
number, as they need to be thinned out. 
The sets run from six feet to 16 feet 
high. The soil from which they were 
taken is sandy, and they were reset in 
sand with the leaf mold from which 
they were taken placed around each tree. 
All set the last of April to the last of 
May began to die and continued to die 
until the first week in July, when there 
were five of the largest and tallest left 
and looking good, and while writing this 
I am looking out of the window at these 
trees with their nice green tops and they 
look good to me. The second week in 
July I transplanted five more when in 
full flower; these are now looking as 
though they would live. Can you give 
me any information in regard to the 
transplanting of our native hemlock, as 
I suppose there is a difference between 
them and the hemlock spruce.? 
Schuylerville, N. Y. d. w. t. 
The hemlock spruce, Tsuga Canaden¬ 
sis of the botanists, is of course the 
“York State hemlock” you refer to. The 
term “hemlock spruce” is preferred to 
hemlock alone, because the name hem¬ 
lock also belongs to the highly poisonous 
Conium (spotted parsley, herb bennet or 
wode-whistle) which was used by the 
Greeks to execute obnoxious persons. 
The hemlock spruce is not difficult to 
transplant, but specimens six to 16 feet 
high would require more care than small¬ 
er ones, although much larger trees than 
these are moved with success under 
nursery conditions. It is evident that 
you did the work carefully, but where 
digging trees from the woods you would 
have better results if they were not over 
three feet high. The end of April was 
rather early, too, especially if followed 
by cold windy weather; conifers are 
usually transplanted later than deciduous 
trees. The most important thing is care 
of the roots, which should never be al¬ 
lowed to dry out. It is well to puddle 
them in wet earth as soon as dug, and 
keep them thus protected until they are 
in the ground again. In replacing the 
dead trees, try planting a little later than 
the first lot, preferably in May, select 
rather smaller specimens, and protect the 
roots when dug. You cannot have a 
more desirable wind-break than this 
beautiful native tree.

Blast Tree Holes; 
Get Better Roots 
^To grow fast and bear early, trees must have vigorous 
hoots. “Both apple and-peach trees planted in blasted holes 
^developed deeper and stronger root systems than those in 
Ispade-dug holes,” the N. J. Experiment Station found. “Soil\ 
faround spade-dug trees was hard; around blasted trees it was' 
loose for yards.” Plant your fruit trees in holes made with 
^and they will grow faster and bear 
earlier than spade-set trees. Just 
^punch a hole, charge it, light a fuse 
and the work is done! Be careful 
to get Atlas Farm Powder, made 
especially for agricultural use,
