BOYSENBERRY 

WHEN TO PLANT. Fruit and flowering trees, grape- 
vines, berry plants and vegetables are usually dug from 
our growing grounds in December, ready for distribution 
about the first of January and may be planted until the 
first of April. The two best months for planting this 
type of nursery stock is during the months of January 
and February. Citrus and avocado trees should be set 
out in March, or later, after the danger of frost is past; 
come with a ball of soil on the roots. 
PLANTING. Never allow the roots to become exposed 
to the air for more than a few minutes. Roots must be 
kept moist at all times. Set fruit and flowering trees in 
deep, large holes so that the bud union is level with 
the surface of the ground. Grapevines and berry plants 
must be set deeply enough so that the roots are well 
covered. Citrus and avocado trees should be set so 
that the bud union is two inches above ground level. 
Fill in top soil about the roots and irrigate immediately 
with a slow stream of water. Fill in more soil after top 
soil has settled. Do not tramp down the soil. 
PRUNING. Fruit trees must have their tops pruned for 
planting. Select three or four good laterals or live buds 
between the two and three feet levels on the trunk and 
cut back to the top-most bud or lateral. (See figure 1.) 
Flowering trees do not need to be pruned until they 
have bloomed; then cut back same as fruit trees. Tops 
of grapevines should be cut back to two buds on one 
spur; roots to a length of two inches. Fruit trees in the 
home orchard should be pruned in the dormant season, 
November to January. After one year’s growth on three 
or four selected main laterals, remove all but two sec- 
ondary laterals on each main lateral and shorten in

49, 15c; 50 or more, 12%%4c. 
about one-third to one-half their length. (See figure 2.) 
Grapevines (except Thompson Seedless) require heavy 
pruning for best results. Train one strong lateral straight 
up first growing season, allowing laterals to make hori- 
zontal growth. If designed for an arbor or fence, cut 
back all horizontal laterals to two buds and allow the 
strongest shoot from one of these buds to develop the 
second’ year cane. Fruit will be borne on this wood on 
all except Thompson Seedless. Do not cut back laterals 
developed first growing season on this variety as fruit 
is borne on two-year wood. 
IRRIGATION AND FERTILIZING. Selection of the 
proper situation for fruit trees is the most important 
factor in the success of the home orchard. Deep, well- 
drained soils are necessary for most fruit tree varieties. 
Apples, pears and quinces will grow on shallow soils 
and withstand more. moisture than other varieties. 
Peaches, nectarines and cherries are the most suscep- 
tible to shallow, moist soils. The next most important 
step in growing a successful orchard is careful attention 
with regard to irrigation and fertilizing. Copious irriga- 
tion at regular intervals between the middle of April 
and the middle of September will supply the trees with 
the required amount of moisture. Frequency of irriga- 
tion depends on the type of soil, but occasional observa- 
tion of the subsoil near the trees will give the home 
orchardist a clue to moisture requirements. Fruit trees, 
citrus and avocado trees and the small fruits respond 
admirably to well-balanced fertilizers. The best time for 
application is in early spring when new growth begins. 
Never apply fertilizer at the time planting is made; 
always allow one or two months for the plants or trees 
to become established and always apply fertilizers on

top of the ground. Soak into the soil with a slow stream 
of water. The quantity required for different types of 
plants and trees is specified by the manufacturer. Fol 
low his directions closely. A good general rule with 
fruit trees is to begin with one-half pound of well 
balanced fertilizer for each young tree and increase to 
three pounds per tree when it has reached bearing age, 
at four or five years. 
PEST CONTROL. Keep on hand a good supply of the 
following materials: Garden Volck for summer rays; 
Basic Lead Arsenate for leaf-chewing insects; Garden 
Bordo for dormant sprays; Pyrethrum-Rotenone for thrij 
control. Follow manufacturer's instructions closely.
