Grapevine Fails to Fruit 
What can be done with a grapevine 
that has been well pruned, fertilized and 
cared for, also has been full of blooms 
for the past three years, but has not had 
a gr;.pe on it? Would you cut it down, 
or is there some spray that will hold it 
to fruiting? I have other vines also 
•where only a few grapes will mature. 
Ridgewood, N. J. j. b. c. 
There are several possibilities why this 
particular vine does not develop fruiL 
First it may be a male vine, and if such 
be the case it will never bear grapes. It 
is characteristic of male vines to blossom 
very profusely, but this is the end, for 
after the male elements are developed the 
entire blossom cluster is shed, there being 
not a vestige remaining. It not infre¬ 
quently happens that such a vine is dis¬ 
seminated. There is the further possi¬ 
bility that over-manuring or heavy ferti¬ 
lization with a nitrogenous material is 
responsible for the sloughing. The ex¬ 
cessive use of poultry manure sometimes 
brings about this trouble. 
Over-pruning, the cutting away of too 
much fruiting wood, has the tendency to 
over-stimulate the growth of cane and 
leaf. The excessive growth of the vege¬ 
tative parts results in lessened fruit pro¬ 
duction, though the writer has never 
seen vines entirely without fruit from 
this cause. 
Certain varieties of grapes never de¬ 
velop well-filled clusters, as their pollen 
is not potent. When these are in a 
mixed planting with varieties that bloom 
at the same time and whose pollen is 
viable it is possible to secure fairly satis¬ 
factory clusters. 
It is quite unlikely that any insect is 
responsible for the complete failure. The 
grape blossom midge, which in the larva 
stage feeds on the delicate flower parts 
enclosed within the blossom cap, often¬ 
times takes its toll of many blooms, but 
rarely is the entire cluster affected. Did 
the fruit of this vine attain considerable 
size and then drop, the trouble might be 
attributed to disease or insect, f. e. g. 
Care of Easter Lily 
How could I care for an Easter lily so 
as to have it in bloom next Easter? 
Binghamton, N. Y. i. m. n. 
We infer that your inquiry relates to a 
ily that has been bloomed under glass 
this season. It is not certain that it can 
be bloomed for Easter next year, as this 
will depend upon the health and vigor of 
the bulb. The following method, how¬ 
ever, should give good results: 
When blooming is over, leave the lily 
in the pot, giving full sun and plenty of 
water to keep it growing. As the weath¬ 
er becomes warmer, plunge the pot out¬ 
side ; that is, sink it in the soil the depth 
of the pot, putting a shovelful of coal 
ashes in the bottom of the hole to keep 
earthworms out of the pot. Water regu¬ 
larly until about August, when growth 
will gradually cease and the leaves will 
become yellow and wither. Water should 
then be gradually withheld as the top 
dries off. When the stem is dead the pot 
should be stored in the cellar, where it 
will not dry out entirely until it is pot¬ 
ted. In October shake the dry earth off 
the bulb and put in a clean pot. Ap¬ 
propriate soil is two-thirds good loam 
and one-third well-rotted manure. Put 
iroken crocks in the bottom for drainage, 
and put the bulb in the middle of the 
pot, with 2 in. of clear space above it; 
barely cover with soil. More soil is add¬ 
ed later for the stem roots to run in. 
Keep the pot in a cool cellar, or plunged 
in a sheltered place outside, watering 
when needed, until roots are well formed, 
when it may be brought into the house. 
Florists calculate about 13 weeks from 
the time lilies are brought into the green¬ 
house, until they are expected to be in 
flower; it may take a trifle longer when 
growing in the house, where the tem¬ 
perature would not be quite so carefully 
controlled. It is reckoned to take about 
six weeks from the time the buds show 
until the flowers are open. Easter falls 
on April 12 next year. 
“So,” said the film producer, “you take 
the kidnaped child, climb up the lightning 
conductor to the fifth story, clamber on 
to the roof, dash along the coping stone 
and, at the end, jump the passage on to 
the roof opposite.” “But if I fall down !” 
asked the actor. “Then you will have to 
start all over again!”—Dorbarbier. 
When the 
Cold Wave 
Sweeps Down 
That’s when you’ll be especially 
glad that you quit relying on stoves 
to heat your home and put in an 
INTERNATIONAL ONEPIPE HEATER. 
Have all the rooms of your home warm and comfortable, day and 
night. No more huddling around a stove! Use every room in your 
house, all winter long—and in comfort. 
No more dust, dirt and danger of stoves. No fuss and muss. With an 
InTERn/rrion/iL 
OnEPIPE H EATER 
you have just one, big, thoroughly efficient heater in the cellar flood¬ 
ing the whole house with great volumes of moist, healthful warmed air ! 
And it can be put in and be heating the house the same day it arrives • 
When you put in an INTERNATIONAL ONEPIPE HEATER 
you start to live in winter; and you continue to enjoy it for many 
winters thereafter. 
There are some heaters that cost less but the difference in 
efficiency, cost of operating and general satisfaction is by far in favor of 
the ONEPIPE. It is built in detail to a scientifically correct design by 
a concern that has been making heating equipment for 82 years. 
The ONEPIPE with its triple inner casing keeps the 
cellar cool. You can safely store fruits and vegetables right 
next to it. It will burn wood, hard or 90 ft coal and can be 
equipped for oil or natural gas. Special pattern for wood only.
