STANDARD TREES. 5 to7 ft. high. $3 each, $33 per doz., except where noted 
APPLES 
They should produce fruit the fourth year after 
planting, and continue to do so for forty years. 
Easily grown in any good soil. Plant 40 feet apart. 
pray in winter with Lime-Sulphur and Scalex. 
Just as the first buds begin to burst, spray again 
with these two along with Black-Leaf 40. Spray 
with arsenate of lead when the buds show pink, 
again when the petals begin to fall, and finally two 
weeks after all petals have fallen—five sprayings

kill into the hole. In early September make a ring 
of Paradichlorobenzene 2 inches from the trunk.

CHERRIES 
Sweet Cherries do well on rather light Iand and 
eventually grow into larger trees than the sour 
variety, which thrives in heavier soil. Plant from 
20 to 30 feet apart, the sour Cherries closer than the 
sweet kinds. 
Spray with Lime-Sulphur in late winter, again 
with Wettable Sulphur and Arsenate of Lead when 
the petals fall; once more when the calyx rings 
shuck off. When color first appears on the fruit, 
spray may be repeated.

should begin to yield the third year after planting. 
Pears are attacked by ‘‘Fire-Blight,”’ the black- 
ened leaves looking as if they had been burned in a 
fire. Remove immediately and burn_ blighted 
branches. The spray program for Apples above 
may be followed for Pears.

give good results almost anywhere. Superfluous, 
broken or diseased branches are pruned out late 
each winter.

Emulsion. An application of Wettable Sulphur and 
Arsenate of Lead may be made after the shucks have 
fallen, followed by another one week later. 
Abundance. Flesh light yellow, very sweet.

BUSH CHERRIES 
Hansen. A real novelty of merit. You can now 
have Cherries even though your gardening space 
is limited. Though the fruit of this Bush Cherry 
closely resembles a plum in size and shape, it 
comes in clusters completely covering the 
branches. The bush grows 5 to 6 feet tall and will 
usually bear fruits the second year, and yearly 
from then on. The fruit is of good flavor and is 
excellent for eating and making jams and jellies. 
2-yr. plants, 18 to 24 in., 75 cts. each, $8.25 
per doz. 

Mary Washington Asparagus 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
It is generally thought that it requires too much 
space to grow Asparagus, but a plot 6 feet wide and 
50 feet long will be sufficient to plant 100 roots, 
enough for an ordinary family. 
Dig a trench 11% feet deep and 1 foot wide, and 
dig into the bottom about 4 inches of well-rotted 
manure, tread down firmly. If manure cannot be 
obtained, work under 100 pounds of Humus and 10 
pounds of General Garden Fertilizer to each 50 feet 
of row. On this put about 5 inches of good, rich soil, 
and then lay the roots in, about 18 inches apart, 
taking care to spread well, having the crown in an 
upright position. Cover to within 4 inches of the 
top of the trench and, as the plants grow, gradually 
fill the trench to the surface. Between the rows 
allow 18 inches. 
Paradise. A remarkably heavy producer and the 
stalks are very large—often ealy seven or eight 
toa pound bunch. Their flavor is unusually good. 
Large, 2-year roots, $2 for 25, $3.50 for 50, 
$6 per 100, $50 per 1000. 
Mary Washington. Rust-resistant, vigorous, and 
of wonderful quality. Produces large cuttings of
