What Kind o/Refrigerator 
Service Have You? 
Saving the ice is a very commendable thing for a refrig¬ 
erator to do — Saving your health is of much greater 
importance, but the most important of all is the continuous twenty- 
four hour service of convenience — help in keeping uncooked foods 
— chilling salads, jellies, desserts, etc., that 
McCray Refrigerators 
give; in preserving individual flavors and aromas; in im- 
delightful thirst-satisfving coolness that 
;s the good things better and the crisp 
things snappier, more appetizing and 
deliciously stimulating.

A USEFUL LITTLE BOOK IS YOURS 
if you will send us the names and addresses of 25 
people who would be apt to be interested in House & 
Garden and to whom we may send our circulation 
literature. 
“Low Cost Suburban Homes” abounds in helpful 
hints and suggestions for anyone interested in build¬ 
ing a country home anywhere. In its 62 pages it 
shows attractive houses of many widely different 
types, giving the floor plans and in many instance* 
the prices, varying from $1,000 to $7,000, at which 
they have been built. It is also full of pictures of in¬ 
teriors and suggestions for arrangement of the gar¬ 
dens and home grounds. Attractively illustrated and 
printed on coated paper. 
Send us 25 names and addresses and the book will 
be send postpaid. Address Circulation Department

that a good tool or a well-made machine 
will be giving you satisfactory use long 
after the price is forgotten, while a poor 
one is a constant source of discomfort. 
Get good tools and take good care of them. 
A few dollars a year, judiciously spent for 
tools that are afterwards well cared for 
will soon give you a complete set, and add 
materially both to your garden profit and 
your garden pleasure. 
Grow Your Own Fruit 
(Continued from page 261) 
the work can he more thoroughly done, 
especially in uneven ground. After the 
sheet is placed, with a stout dub or mal¬ 
let, padded with a heavy sack, or some¬ 
thing similar, to prevent injury to the 
bark, give a few sharp blows, well up from 
the ground. This work should be done 
on a cloudy day, or early in the morning— 
the colder the better, as the beetles are 
then inactive. If a considerable number 
of beetles are caught, the operation should 
be repeated every two or three days. Con¬ 
tinue the treatment as long as any beetles 
are to be caught. Peaches are troubled 
also by borers, in this case indicated by 
masses of gum, usually about the crown. 
Dig out or kill with a wire, as in the case 
of the apple borer. Look over the trees 
for borers every spring, or better every 
spring and fall. Another peach enemy is 
the “yellows,” indicated by premature 
ripening of the fruit, and the formation of 
stunted leaf-tufts of a light yellow color. 
This disease is contagious and has fre¬ 
quently worked havoc in whole sections. 
Owing to the work of the Agricultural 
Department and the various State organi¬ 
zations it is now held in check. The only 
remedy is to cut and burn the trees, and 
replant, in the same places if desired, as 
the disease does not seem to be carried by 
the soil. 
Pears are sometimes affected with a 
scab similar to the apple scab, and this is 
combatted by the same treatment—three 
sprayings with Bordeaux. For a blight 
which causes the leaves suddenly to turn 
black and die, and also kills some small 
branches, and produces sores or wounds 
on large branches and trunk, cut and burn 
all affected branches and scrape out and 
clean all sores. Disinfect all sores with 
corrosive sublimate solution — 1 to 100— 
or with a torch, and paint over at once. 
Plums have many enemies, but fortu¬ 
nately they can all be effectively checked. 
First is the curculio, to be treated as de¬ 
scribed above. For leaf-blight — spotting 
and dropping off of the leaves about mid¬ 
summer — spray with Bordeaux, within a 
week or so after the falling of the blos¬ 
soms. This treatment will also help to 
prevent fruit-rot. In addition to the spray¬ 
ing, however, thin out the fruit so that it 
does not hang thickly enough for the 
plums to come in contact with each other. 
In a well kept and well sprayed orchard, 
black-knot is not at all likely to appear. 
It is very manifest wherever it starts, caus-
