loaf, length of wood growth and general 
appearance of the tree. I could not ex¬ 
plain—you have to live with a tree for 
some years before you can tell. I know 
our army marched back over the swamp, 
and through the wood, quite well satis¬ 
fied to think that we need not go back 
until it is time to pick those Wealthy 
apples. We were late for dinner, but we 
made up for it when we started. There 
was a good-sized chuck-a-roo. What iu 
the world is that? I hear someone ask. 
It’s the name I have for hash made 
moist and baked slowly in a deep pud¬ 
ding dish. We call it good. Then there 
was a great dish of Gradus peas—all you 
could eat, and more—potatoes, onions 
and turnips, whole wheat bread and rhu¬ 
barb sauce. Mulching is hard work, and 
you have to cultivate it with good food. 
The drying wind kept up, so after din- I 
ner Thomas got the mower going in the 
find below us, where we have bought the 
grass. One boy went along to mow 
around the trees. The other boys went to 
planting Early Mammoth sweet corn, and 
the little girls and I went to hoeing straw¬ 
berries. I wish I had the space to tell 
of the adventures which befell us when 
we went to see how the haying was com¬ 
ing on. h. w. c. 
Fruits for a Suburban Garden 
What fruit, for family of eight, would 
I be justified in planting on plot 75x100? 
Lease of ground expires May 1, 1024 (five 
years) with little or no chance of being 
able to renew. Soil is rich sandy loam, 
southeast exposure. Owing to short time 
I shall he in possession of this land I do 
not want to spend money for which I 
shall not get fair return. j. u. 
Forest Hills. N. Y. 
Unless the plot is very close to the 
house I would advise you to cover it with 
manure at once and plow it as soon as 
there is good heavy rain which softens 
the ground. Strawberries iu particular 
must be fed very heavily, this being more 
important, than either the variety or the 
method of cultivation, provided any good 
method is followed out. I would use pot¬ 
ted plants and set them in late August or 
September, as the large strong plants will 
give you berries next year. For varieties 
I would suggest some of the Biibach, 
Greenville or Warfield as good early va¬ 
rieties, using Glen Mary or Marshall for 
midseason and the Gandy as an excellent 
late berry. If you plant six rows of 
strawberries, each 75 ft. long and 3V> ft. 
apart between the rows, with the plants 
set 18 in. apart, you should have an 
abundance of berries. If you have used 
plenty of stable manure you can continue 
their fertilization with a high-grade com¬ 
mercial fertilizer, putting it around the 
plants and hoeing it into the ground. 
I would suggest one row of blackber¬ 
ries. using Early Harvest and Snyder as 
good, reliable varieties. These may also 
be set iu the Fall or delayed until next 
Spring. You will need at least two rows 
of red raspberries. I would advise Outh- 
bert for a table raspberry and Shaffer as 
a canning variety. I have not found the 
Everbearing sorts reliable enough to ad¬ 
vise you to use them. The black rasp¬ 
berry will be best set in the early Spring. 
Gregg is one of the best and most reliable, 
though I am personally much impressed 
by the wonderful size and quality of the 
l’lum Farmer, although this ripens its 
crop during a short season. I would not 
advise you to put out more than a dozen 
gooseberry bushes, as they will make it 
very bard for you to leave the place about 
the time they get into full bearing. How¬ 
ever. you can got two crops out of them, 
and perhaps this would be worth doing. I 
would advise Industry or Downing as 
safest to grow, although there are others 
of rather better quality, but more deli¬ 
cate. 
Currants are like gooseberries in this 
respect, but you can afford room for a 
few bushes of both red and white cur¬ 
rants; the variety is not so important. 
When you have the plants set out you 
must give them a great deal of hand cul¬ 
tivation and keep watch for insects before 
they have done much harm. It is desir¬ 
able to put manure around the roots of the 
plants each Winter and in the Spring rake 
away the remnant which has been washed 
free from all its fertility. If your land 
is especially dry it may be well to leave 
1 thick mulch of straw or .lauure under 
the bushes, but as a rule mulch by con- 
• hint cultivation will give better results. 
I would not advise you to raise any 
peaches, as you would not get more than 
one crop before having to leave. The 
same is true of plums and cherries. Any 
land which you do not need for fruit can. 
of course, be used for vegetables: or. if 
you wish a larger amount of fruit, you 
can simply increase the amount of each 
one of these. . n. v. u. 
Destroying Sumac 
Referring to page 932. a way of de¬ 
stroying sumac is by thrashing with a 
hickory branchy switch, about the length 
of a buggy whip, at a time of year when 
the shoots are about one foot high and 
are in full leaf. This strips off the leaves 
and deadens the shoot and root. I have 
a small meadow of orchard grass and 
clover, which was thick with sumac 
shoots. A kind neighbor saw the situa¬ 
tion. and said he had heard of a remedy. 
At my request he at once tackled the 
job, and for eight years not a shoot of 
sumac has been seen in that hillside 
meadow. \v. K.

You can’t afford to experiment with a year’s wheat 
crop and you don’t have to—this has been done for you. 
Everything in the way of practical and scientific data—laboratory, factory 
and field tests with fertilizers for wheat on all types of soils—has been 
condensed and boiled down to four special formulas. 
Armour’s four Cereal Special Fertilizers fill every wheat need and supply 
the plant food that your soil lacks, 
•/Armours 
Cereal Special 
supply the right amount9 of plant food—from the right materials— 
quickly available ammonia to start the wheat off in the Fall and give it a 
good root growth; available phosphoric acid and potash to stiffen the 
straw, fill out the grain, make it plump and heavy and ripen the crop 
early. They feed the crop just the plant 
food it needs,neither too much nor too little. 
Eliminate guess work and chance this 
Fall—benefit by the experience of others.
