Figs 
This fruit adapts itself to a wide range of soils and climates. By protecting the plants during winter 
some varieties have been successfully grown in the state of New York. 
The trees should be planted 12 to 18 feet apart, according to character of soil, and they should be trim¬ 
med so as to admit plenty of light and air into the center of the tree. Figs bear early, and the ripening 
period covers the season from June until November.

any sou, provided it is well drained. Plant one-year-old trees 18 x IS feet; cut the trees back to 18 to 24 
Inches, as it is always best to have a low-headed tree. In the spring, after the growth has started, remove 
all but three branches and let these be distributed so that the tree will be well balanced. For the first two 
years fertilize with well decomposed barnyard manure, or a mixture of one part of cotton seed or bone 
meal to two parts of acid phosphate. Apply 1% to 2 pounds to each tree. After the third year, avoid nitro¬ 
genous fertilizers and use a fertilizer containing a good percentage of bone phosphate and potash and a 
sma 1 percentage of n trogen. Prune every year by utting off one-third of the previous year's growth. The 
head of the tree should be broad and open, so as to allow free circulation of light and air. Never plant 
»?wly cleared woodlands; such lands should be cul ivated for at least two years before setting the trees, 
otherwise wood-lice will injure them. 
In preparing orchard land, plow as deeply as possible and then subsoil. Dig holes 2 feet square ,or, better 
yer, use dynamite for making the holes. Cowpeas, s >y beans or velvet beans are excellent crops for planting 
between (lie trees; it is best to drill-in two feet apart, leaving four or more feet on each side of the trees 
so as to have ample room for cultivation. Cultivate frequently, and in the late fall or early winter turn 
under the cover-crop. When the orchard begins to bear it should have clean cultivation, but as soon as the 
fi uit is harvested drill in peas for a cover-crop and turn this under as above directed.

Brackett, Poinologist. TJ. S. Department of Agricul¬

Berckmans Co. After experimenting with the 
best named varieties, we have finally succeeded 
in securing in the Brackett a Peach which fills a 
long-felt want. Before disseminating this valuable 
Peach, we gave it a thorough trial for several years, 
and it has come up to our most sanguine expecta¬ 
tions. Its period of ripening commences just at the 
close of the Elberta season. The fruit is a perfect 
freestone; large to very large, oblong, with sharp 
apex and shallow suture; color orange-yellow, 
washed red and mottled deep carmine, with a very
