Juneberry or Service Berry 
A good substitute for the large Swamp 
Huckleberry or Whortleberry, which it re- 
sembles in appearance and quality. Fruit 
comes in clusters, reddish-purple in color, 
changing to _bluish-black when fully ripe. 
Flavor a mild, rich sub-acid; excellent as 
a dessert fruit or canned. It is extremely 
hardy, not thorny, grows bushy to a height 
of 7 or 8 feet. Would make a nice orna- 
mental shrub also, and is often used for 
that purpose, as it is very showy when in 
full bloom. Juneberry makes no _ fiber- 
roots; it is not a fast grower, but lasts for 
many years. I would call Juneberry a de- 
sirable combination flowering and _ fruit 

plant. 30c each; 3 for 75c; 10 for $2.20; 
postpaid. 
(Asiminia). A small 
Paw Paw tree with purple and 
whitish flowers and handsome foliage. 
The large fruit, banana-shaped, is edi- 
ble and improves by cultivation. This 
has: been a native tree in Nebraska, 
Kansas and most Midwest states, and 
should be replanted. Of value for or- 
nament as well as for the fruit. Nice 
3 to 4 ft. trees, 60c each, postpaid. 
SPRAY MATERIAL 
The following sprays are the three lead- 
ing remedies to cover insect and disease 
control, as suggested on a number of pages 
in this book. Use these sprays according to 
direction, and remember: spray at the right 
time. Spraying does not replace lost 
growth, lost leaves, lost fruit, but if ap- 
plied timely it prevents losses, and if fol- 
lowed properly for a few seasons, spraying 
cleans your orchard of the pests.

age. This is the only effective spray against 
seale and any other insects’ which hyber- 
nate in cracks of the bark, and if applied as 
a dormant spray, before the leaf-buds open

BEATRICE, NEBRASKA 
HERBS 
The following are the most frequently 
needed herbs. They are hardy, stay in 
your garden for many years, and continue 
to supply your kitchen for a long time, be- 
ginning the first year. 
Sage The best. hardy kind for season- 
ing. This is the true Holt’s Mam- 
moth Sage, furnishing large quantities of 
leaves which are dried, and used for their 
aromatic value. Per plant, 25c; postpald.

white variety. 10 for 35c; 50 for $1.50; post-

A great canning 
) Orange Quince fruit for home use, 
and well paid on the market. The fruit of 
the size of large apples, yellow with a 
heavy covering of fuzz, is a good keeper. 
Its texture is similar to pears, and contains 
the highly pleasing quince flavor. Can be 
cooked with pears or apples, or can be can- 
ned for quince preserves or quince syrup. 
The tree is not sufficiently hardy in Ne- 
braska to make a long lived producer, but 
south of here, and in the East and Great 
Lakes: region it can be grown successfully 
on good soil. Grows to a dwarf tree, and 
can be planted 12: feet apart. We have a 
limited number of these trees. 2/2 to 4 ft., 
size for $1.00 each, prepaid. 

Protecting Trees from Rabbits 
Several methods can be applied. Wrap the 
tree trunks with tall Reed-grass or Corn 
stalks; and coat the outside of the wrap- 
ping with old crank-case oil. It is not al- 
ways safe to put the crank-case oil right on 
the tree bark. 
Or white-wash the tree trunks with dry 
lime: sulphur at the rate of five tablespoon- 
fuls per gallon of water. 
Or mix the same amount of dry lime sul- 
phur to one gallon of linseed oil (cheapest 
grade), and paint the tree trunks with this 
paint for a more permanent protection. 
Home-made tree-protectors of old screen 
wire or chicken wire, placed around the 
tree: trunks with a clearance of at least one 
inch most always answer the purpose. 
Remember: All spray and _ protective 
methods are good if they are used at the 
right time.
