Q 
A 
PLANTING BUSH CHERRIES AND BEACH PLUMS 
Bush Cherries and Beach Plums should be planted 
just like you would plant any shrub or tree, making 
sure that the holes are large enough to accomodate 
all of the roots without crowding. Plant to the same 
depth as the plants stood in the nursery row. No great 
amount of pruning is necessary—just enough to shape 
the plants up and remove any branches that might 
have been broken or might have become dried out. 
In transplanting the general rule to follow would be 
to trim off about 1/3 of all the present growth. This 
will promote new growth in many places. 
HOW TO SPRAY TREES 
. Will you tell me how to spray my trees and what to 
use? 
Recommendations vary for the different States or lo- 
calities. Your State Experiment Station has a free 
bulletin on the subject. See list of Stations and ad- 
dresses on the opposite page. A general home orchard 
spray which Dr. Tukey has found successful in his 
own home orchard is as follows: 
Mix the three following powdered materials: 
Wettable Sulfur Bibs: 
Lead Arsenate Z1ibs: 
Rotenone 3 Ibs. 
TOTAL 10 Ibs. 
This amount is for mixing with 100 gallons of water. 
Accordingly for convenience put up in 10-lbs. lots in 
small paper bags or glass jars, and use a 1-pound lot 
with each 10 gallons of spray, or one-half this 
amount for 5 gallons of spray. 
Make applications (1) Before Bloom, (2) After Bloom, 
(3) Memorial Day, (4) Fourth of July. 
Effective on fruits and roses, including apples, cher- 
ries, peaches, pears and plums, and also on vege- 
tables including tomatoes, potatoes, beans, cucum- 
bers, and melons. 
*This is not ‘fool proof’’ but will do for the average 
home orchard.
