Snug  and  Cozy 
alt  Through  Your  House 
It’s  great  to  have  a  home  that’s 
snug  and  warm  all  through  when 
howling,  wintry  winds  whistle 
around  the  house.  You  can  sit 
back  in  cozy  comfort,  evenings — 
the  kiddies  can  romp  about — you 
can  turn  in  for  the  night  and  un¬ 
dress  in  warm  rooms. 
That’s  the  kind  of  winter-long  comfort  an 
International  Onepipe  Heater  will  bring 
into  your  home.? 
Through  its  one  big  register,  it  circulates 
big  volumes  of  healthfully  moistened 
warm  air  into  every  room,  upstairs,  down¬ 
stairs,  day  and  night. 
And  it  does  this  year  after  year  with  the 
kind  of  economy  that  pays  in  the  end. 
It’s  well  built  throughout,  by  a  company 
that  has  had  over  75  years  of  experience 
in  making  good  heaters  that  deliver  last¬ 
ing  heating  satisfaction. 
Send  for  Onepipe  Booklet  show¬ 
ing  why  the  Onepipe  heats 
thoroughly,  and  with  real  economy. 
We  make  all  stand¬ 
ard  types  of  heaters — 
Onepipe,  Warm  Air 
Furnaces,  and  Boilers 
for  S.t  earn,  Vapor 
Steam  and  Hot  Water 
heating.  Therefore 
we  are  not  prejudiced 
in  favor  of  any  one 
type.  If  you  would 
like  to  know  how  these 
various  types  com¬ 
pare  with  each  other, 
send  for  Booklet, 
“International  Heat¬ 
ers”  which  tells  the 
advantages  of  each 
and  how  to  get  best 
results  in  your  home.

Horticultural  Short  Cuts 
Propagating  Quince  Trees 
Will  you  inform  me  how  to  propagate 
quince?  I  have  a  bush  on  my  place  which 
has  been  sadly  neglected,  but  there  are 
several  sprouts  growing  out  ot  the  ground 
near  the  butt  of  the  bush.  I  would  like 
to  use  these,  if  possible.  j.  F.  a. 
Totteuville,  N.  Y. 
If  the  bush  is  on  its  own  roots,  the 
sprouts  growing  out  of  the  ground  will 
reproduce  the  original  tree,  but  if  it  is  a 
grafted  or  budded  bush  the  suckers  may 
be  coming  from  the  stock,  and  will  pro¬ 
duce  a  tree  quite  different.  By  a  close 
comparison  of  the  shoots,  leaves  in  partic¬ 
ular,  you  should  be  able  to  tell  whether 
or  not  they  are  identical.  In  case  you  are 
in  doubt,  you  will  find  it  most  satisfactory 
to  lay  down  a  few  shoots  and  cover  them 
with  several  inches  of  dirt,  leaving  a  few 
buds  above  ground  at  the  extremity.  The 
extremity  should  be  staked  upright.  When 
the  buds  have  started,  rub  off  all  but  the 
best.  By  Fall  the  layers  will  have  formed 
roots,  and  they  may  be  severed  from  tin1 
parent  plant  and  planted  in  a  nursery 
row  until  large  enough  to  be  set  out.

Cherries  in  Iowa 
The  people  at  our  bouse  are  fond  of 
cherries,  but,  unfortunately,  have  no  luck 
in  getting  trees  to  live.  About  the  time 
they  get  into  bearing,  trees  die.  Our  soil 
is  black  loam,  subsoil  clay  (fertile  land). 
In  our  little  town  on  the  Mississippi  land 
of  sand  formation,  these  trees  live  many 
years,  grow  to  great  height  and  bear 
abundantly.  The  cherry  trees  we  have 
planted  come  from  Southern  nurseries. 
Can  you  tell  us  how  to  plant,  where  plant 
and  which  are  the  hardiest  kinds  to 
plant?  b.  D. 
Sabula,  Iowa. 
Early  Richmond  and  Montmorency 
cherries  should  succeed  anywhere  in  Iowa 
if  properly  cared  for.  If  spraying  is 
neglected  and  the  shot-hole  fungus  al¬ 
lowed  to  have  its  way,  defoliating  the 
trees  in  midsummer,  the  trees  may  live 
a  few  years,  but  it  must  not  be  expected 
that  they  will  ever  bear  fruit.  It’s  always 
the  man  behind  the  trees.  The  fact  that 
trees  came  from  Southern  nurseries  is 
a  matter  of  uo  importance.  Wisconsin 
planters  buy  trees  grown  in  Southern 
Indiana,  and  from  points  even  farther 
south.  While  a  light  soil  may  be  a  trifle 
better  than  the  prairie  loam,  it  is  not  the 
only  reason  trees  along  the  Mississippi 
have  lived  so  long.  Either  these  trees 
were  sprayed  or  they  have  escaped  dis¬ 
ease  and  insect  attacks. 
FREDERIC  CRANEFIELD. 
Dwarf  Apples  and  Pears 
I  am  thinking  of  setting  out  about  six 
dwarf  apple  and  six  dwarf  pear  trees. 
Some  nurserymen  recommend  setting  them 
in  hedge  rows  3  or  4  ft.  apart.  Do  you 
advise  so  doing?  My  object  is  to  have 
fruit  through  the  season,  beginning  with 
the  earliest.  What  varieties  do  you 
recommend  for  setting  out  that  succeed  as 
dwarfs?  How  about  buying  trees  that 
can  be  sent  by  parcel  post?  These  trees 
measure  from  iy2  to '2 y2  ft.  high.  I 
should  also  like  to  have  the  names  of  a 
couple  of  black  raspberries  to  provide  as 
long  a  season  of  fruit  as  possible.  These 
are  for  home  use.  w.  s.  h. 
New  Paltz,  N.  Y. 
Dwarf  trees  are  a  proposition  for  the 
amateur,  and  are  valued  largely  because 
they  may  be  made  to  conform  to  one’s 
whims  and  fancies.  Only  a  day  or  two 
ago  the  writer  saw  a  photograph  of  a  very 
fine  hedge  of  dwarf  apple  trees  grown  in 
New  Hampshire,  and  it  has  been  one  of 
the  delights  of  European  gardeners  to 
grow  dwarf  trees  in  every  conceivable 
shape  and  manner.  Therefore,  so  far  as 
the  practicability  of  the  thing  is  con¬ 
cerned,  dwarf  trees  can  be  grown  in  any 
manner  desired.  But  the  more  naturally 
the  tree  grows,  the  less  attention  it  takes'; 
in  fact,  dwarf  trees,  if  they  are  to  remain 
true  dwarfs,  require  more  attention  than 
standards,  for  they  are  apt  to  strike  root 
from  above  the  dwarfing  stock  and  become 
standards,  and  further  proper  pruning  has 
no  small  part  in  keeping  the  trees  dwarf. 
We  should  prefer,  from  a  standpoint  of 
ease  in  handling,  to  have  the  trees  spaced 
equi-distant. 
McIntosh,  Wealthy  and  Lady  make 
very  satisfactory  dwarfs,  and  Jonathan, 
Esopus,  Grimes,  Alexander,  Wagener, 
Boiken  and  Bismarck  likewise  do  well. 
Baldwin.  R.  I.  Greening,  Rome,  Ben 
Davis,  Northern  Spy  and  Sutton  do  not 
make  good  dwarfs.  Among  pears  Duehesse 
d’Angouleme,  Beurre  Diel.  Louise  Bonne 
de  Jersey,  Beurre  Superfin  and  Beurrf? 
d’Anjou  make  good  dwarfs. 
Height  alone  is  a  poor  index  of  quality 
in  nursery  stock.  A  one-year  apple  tree 
4  ft.  high  would  be  preferred  to  a  two- 
year  tree  of  the  same  height.  There  is  no 
reason  why  you  cannot  get  a  satisfactory 
dwarf  from  a  tree  that  measures  1%  to 
2 x/2  ft.  high,  provided  you  know  its  "age. 
Most  nurserymen  consider  a  No.  1  dwarf 
apple  tree  to  be  4  to  6  ft.  high  and  to 
caliper  %  in.  and  over. 
For  a  suoeession  of  black  raspberries 
we  suggest  Kansas,  early ;  Plum  Farmer, 
early  midseason ;  Cumberland,  midseason, 
and  Gregg,  late.  h.  b.  t.
