20 to 30 feet apart, the sour Cherries closer than the 
sweet kinds. 
Spray with Lime-Sulphur in Jate winter, again 
with Wettable Sulphur and Arsenate of Lead when

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.

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.

These require only one-fourth the space occupied 
by a standard tree, and are therefore the ideal 
thing for the suburban garden. When mature they 
are not over 10 feet high, and you can keep them to 
6 feet by pruning. They yield abundantly, and the 
fruit is easily picked. On delivery they are 21% to 
314 feet.

FRUIT ON BUSHES 
Hansen Bush Cherries. 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 
sams and jellies. 2-yr. plants, 18 to 24 m., 
1 each, $11 per doz.
