Grapes—These should be planted ten to twelve 
inches deep in holes large enough to admit roots 
without curling them, pressing soil solid about 
roots. Cut vines back to within three or four 
buds of the roots. Keep the ground clean by cul- 
tivating; if impossible to cultivate, mulch. Prune 
in February or early March, before there are any 
signs of new growth—hence the importance of 
annual and intelligent pruning. 
Apples, Pears, Prunes, Plums, Apricots, etc.— 
Follow same pruning instructions as peaches. 
FALL PLANTING 
When set in autumn, a mound of earth must be 
raised about the trees. This is very essent- 
ial, as it keeps them from being swayed by the 
winds or thrown out by the frost during the 
winter. It should be removed in the spring. 
In sections where the winters are extremely 
severe, trees procured in the fall can be best cared 
for by covering the roots with earth during the 
winter and planting them in the spring. 
To insure success, select a spot where no water 
will stand during the winter, having no grass 
near to invite mice. Dig a trench deep enough to 
admit one layer of roots, and sloping enough to 
permit the tree to lie at an angle of not more 
than 30 degrees with the ground. Having placed 
one end of the roots in this trench, cover them 
SPECIAL NOTICE ON SPRAYING PEACH 
TREES—Be sure to follow very carefully the 
Spray program on peach trees. Our advice is, 
apply your first spray of 4-4-50 Bordeaux the 
latter part of October. The second spray of 
4-4-50 Bordeaux applied the 15th of December. 
Be sure to use a spreader. Apply your third 
spray of Lime and Sulphur, 9 parts of water, 1 
part liquid sulphur, applied the Ist of February. 
Be sure to follow these three sprays very care- 
fully and see to it that it stays on, If you spray 
and the first rain washes it off, you have not done 
a very god job, and in that case we would sug- 
gest to spray again immediately. Do not leave 
your peach trees uncovered with spray during the 
winter months. A good spreader usually makes 
the spray material stick on, even though you have 
a lot of rain.

with mellow earth extending well up on the tree 
and see that this is firmly packed. Then add an- 
other layers of trees, overlapping the first contin- 
uing as at first until they are all heeled in. As 
soon as this is done, cover the tops so with ever- 
green boughs that they will be thoroughly pro- 
tected from winds. 
SPRAYING 
There are four distinct types of troubles to 
combat, i. e.: Chewing insects, sucking insects, 
scale insects and fungous diseases. Chewing in- 
sects are controlled with a stomach poison, some 
form of arsenic (lead arsenate), sucking insects 
(lice or aphids) by body contact poison (nico- 
tine), or miscible oil (kerosene, emulsion), and 
fungous diseases by lime-sulphur solution or 
Bordeaux mixture. Be sure you know what you 
are spraying for, since arsenate of lead will not 
control lice or aphids, nor will nicotine or kero- 
sene emulsion control apple worms, and neither 
of these will have any effect on apple scab or 
other fungous diseases. Lime-sulphur is used as 
a dormant spray for scale, insects and also for 
fungus. In spraying the apple, keep in mind the 
two main apple troubles, the codling moth and 
apple scab, and, in controlling these, most other 
troubles are immediately controlled. Lead arsen- 
ate and lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture are 
the sprays to use. For further information write
