Here is a specimen row of anple trees, each tree a different variety. 
From such bearing trees as the above we secure our buds and grafts, 
enabling us to be certain that they are true to name. This row 
also illustrates how apple trees can be planted in something like 
a hedge row, closely together with wide space between the rows. 
DWARF PEAR, DWARF APPLE AND PEACH 
HEDGES 
I have just planted in my city garden two rows of peach 
trees three feet apart in the rows, the rows being two to three 
rods distant from any other trees. This method of planting 
will give me a hedge row, so called by me, of peaches. I have 
planted hedge rows of peaches, placing the trees only one foot 
apart but leaving plenty of room on either side for ventila¬ 
tion and have found these hedge rows remarkably productive 
for many years. I fee 1 confident that these trees will bear a 
little fruit the second year and an abundance of fruit the 
third year and for many -ears thereafter. 
J have said much about what I called the hedge row of 
dwarf pears, dwarf apples and peaches and intend to 
say more about such planting, as I consider it a novel and 
attractive method of growing fruit for the home supply in 
gardens where there is but little room to spare. Such a hedge 
row can be made of apple, pear, plum, quince and cherry 
trees, but I consider the dwarf pear, dwarf apple and the 
peach particularly adapted to this form of planting. 
My dwarf pear hedge has borne abundantly for many years, 
the trees being planted three feet apart. Consider the beauty 
of a hedge row of peach trees in blossom. This morning I 
looked out of my sleeping room the first thing on awakening, 
seeing in my garden blooming peach trees. How beautifully 
tinted, how abundant and how promising of luscious fruit in 
the weeks or months to come. Peach trees vary in the size 
and beauty of their blossoms. Some are modest in size and 
number while others are most beautifully tinted and in 
great abundance. 
By the method I propose of planting a row of fruit trees 
through the center of the garden three feet apart, where they 
will not be in the way of plowing or cultivating, the village 
or city garden may have in it a row of 50 or 100 peach trees 
or dwarf pear trees, whereas the owner of the garden by 
planting in the ordinary manner may not have room for 
more than three or four trees. Do not forget that in planting 
these trees so closely together in the row, leaving plenty of 
space between the rows if there are several rows, the branches 
should be cut back at planting and each year succeeding. 
Green’s Trees are grown where they grow best. They 
are northern grown, hardy trees. 
HOW TO TRANSPLANT THE STRAWBERRY, RASP¬ 
BERRY AND OTHER SMALL FRUITS 
The roots of the strawberry and of the tip raspberry plants 
are the most delicate, sensitive and most easily injured of 
all plants in transplanting. I have known inexperienced 
planters to drop these perishable plants along the line of the 
row and leave them there exposed to the sun and wind while 
the planter who follows is slowly approaching. By the time 
the planter reaches the plants dropped in advance, the roots 
have partially withered and have lost at least half of their 
vitality. Then the unwise planter is liable to complain that 
the plants were dead when he received them. What the 
planter should do is this: he should take a pail and keep con¬ 
stantly an inch or two of water in it. Then he should place 
the roots of his plants in this pail to be left there until one 
after another is removed for planting. By this means each 
plant goes into the soil as fresh as when dug and will begin 
immediate growth. Bear in mind that rugged trees, such as 
the apple and pear, will stand much more exposure than 
these delicate roots of the strawberry and raspberry.
