Precocious Nut Trees 
Last Fall I bought from -J. F. Jones, 
the nut specialist, one Japanese heart 
walnut (Juglans cordiformis) and planted 
it in my experiment grounds at Brent¬ 
wood. Maryland, in November. 1019. It 
was two feet high, a half inch in diam¬ 
eter. and grafted by Jones in the Spring 
of 1010. This Spring, at one year from 
the graft, it put on five catkins. I let 
them grow about an inch long, as a curi¬ 
osity to show my friends, and then I 
pinched them off. uot to endanger the 
development of the tree. That, however, 
did not end it. as when the clusters of 
foliage developed each cluster disclosed a 
group of little nuts. 12 to 15 nuts to each 
cluster, five clusters, actually 70 nuts, 
determined to ‘materialize, pressing for 
expression on the stage of life. How is 
this for early bearing of grafted nut 
trees? Of course, I reluctantly pinched 
them off. 
I have two Stabler grafted black wal¬ 
nuts and one Rush Persian, two years 
set, bearing little nuts, three on one Stab¬ 
ler and two on another and one on the 
Rush. I shall leave one Stabler nut to 
mature. joitn r. keenan, m. d. 
Ripe Raspberries in December 
1 enclose a clipping that I cut out some 
place, but have forgotten what paper. 
“Hammonton, N. J., Dec. 8.—Luscious 
ripe raspberries are being picked here in 
considerable quantity. a> high as 400 to 
500 boxes a day being shipped. Most 
of the berries go to Philadelphia or New 
York, although they may be bought here 
for 10 cents a box or less. Motorists 
from New York or Philadelphia stop in 
amazement at the sight of a berry-picker 
walking along the road with a dozen or 
more boxes of freshly picked berries. 
These berries are known as Rauere, an 
Italian farmer of this place having dis¬ 
covered this late-bearing variety. The 
fruit continues to ripen until actual 
freezing weather.” 
This is an exact copy of that published 
at Hammonton, N. J. I wrote the post¬ 
master at this place, enclosed stamp for 
reply, and said in my letter I would pay 
for the information wanted, but he made 
no reply. c. D. T. 
Indiana. 
The red raspberry properly named Ra- 
nere is grown in very large quantities 
around Hammonton. This is the same 
variety that was later named St. Regis. 
It originated with an Italian by the name 
of Rauere. and was grown generally there 
before it was renamed. It is an ever¬ 
bearing variety, so-called, and if the sea¬ 
son is favorable may produce berries in 
the late Summer and Fall upon the tips 
of the new shoots. When we have a 
warm Fall it is quite possible that berries 
might be found on the bushes until Oc¬ 
tober. and perhaps November. Last year 
on Election Day in November such tender 
plants as Salvia were still blooming with¬ 
out injury in Southern New Jersey, so 
that it is quite possible that a few Rauere 
raspberries continued to ripen until late 
in November. The raspberries about 
Hammonton are commonly picked in pint, 
boxes, so that the quantities mentioned 
would be very small, considering the great 
acreage grown about that town. M. a. b. 
Hudson has unremittingly kept the 
issue of performance to the fore. Not 
simply because its mastery is indis¬ 
putable. 
Rather because this question is vital 
above all. It must always be so. It 
must always be the measure of any 
car’s title to worth. 
Hence undue emphasis has never 
been placed on Hudson’s four years’ 
leadership in fine car sales. Largest 
sales are not infallibly proof of greatest 
merit. Hudson has no need to offer 
them as such. 
Yet their importance cannot be 
overlooked. Here is the massed opin¬ 
ion of far the greatest number of 
owners of any fine car in the world. 
Some are driving the earliest Super- 
Sixes built—now more than four years 
old. Some acquired Hudsons but 
recently. But how unanimously they 
hold no car can rival it. 
What 90,000 Owners 
Know First Hand 
Those who have had their Hudsons 
longest are perhaps its most emphatic 
champions. They know it best. They 
have seen it pitted with triumph against 
every situation that can confront an 
automobile. Today their Super- 
Sixes are giving service, such as is 
literally beyond the performance ca¬ 
pacity of many new cars that cost more. 
Certainly no fine car is so highly 
regarded by such a large following. 
See What It Has Done 
Were its position less deserved could 
Hudson hold the loyalty of all these? 
Were its supremacy less decisive, 
surely five years must have discovered 
the rightful successor. 
But time only brings fresh evidence 
of Hudson leadership. 
In speed—in power—in acceleration 
—in hill-climbing, it has never been 
matched. ' 
The most abusive tests to which a 
car was ever subjected have failed to 
find its endurance limit. Could other 
types adopt it, they might share 
Hudson’s unmatched ability. But 
Hudson controls it. By right of inven¬ 
tion Hudson alone can use it. 
It will not be possible to supply all 
who want Hudsons. So even though 
you may not want your car for several 
months, now is not too early to place 
your order. 
Radish Maggot 
Will you tell us bow to keep worms 
from boring and ruining radishes? 
Utica, Ohio. w. w. b. 
Ir is inferred that this inquiry relates to 
the radish maggot, which is also a serious 
pest on cabbage. The best plan is to dis¬ 
continue the cultivation of radish or cab¬ 
bage on the infested area for two or three 
seasons, until the pest is starved out, and 
also to destroy crop remnants. The mag¬ 
gots may be killed by an injection of bi¬ 
sulphide of carbon into the earth about 
the roots, but this is too expensive to be 
practical. Carbolic acid emulsion may 
also be used, poured around the roots. 
Cabbage is protected from the maggot by 
little round or hexagonal disks of tarred 
paper slipped around the stem, and rest¬ 
ing on the ground. This prevents the 
adult from laying eggs there, but i$, of 
course, impractical with radishes. 
Black Currants Fail to Bear 
I have a few black currant bushes that 
do not bear any fruit. What can I do 
to get a yield of currants? They are 
strong, healthy bushes, plenty of leaves 
and flowers, but no fruit; have had them 
i.our years, with same result. They have 
had good care, unless in want of trim¬ 
ming. W. T. M. 
Currants are by nature Northern 
plants, and in their wild state are found 
growing in cool, moist places. Thev do 
not thrive in hot, dry situations. This 
mn lbe the reason for not fruiting, but 
as v\. T. M. does not state the conditions 
under which currants are grown, it is 
hard to tell the exact reason for not fruit- 
in .*' ,^*1 the home gardens the north side 
a .building or fence is a good location. 
Black currants bear the most fruit on 
-he one-year-old canes. Therefore, in 
pruning them the aim should be to keep 
up a good supply of young shoots. The 
wood must be practically renewed each 
year, and this W\ T. M. has neglected 
to do. Black Champion is one of the 
best varieties to plant. t. h. t.
