VINES 
Vines should have deep, rich soil, and without 
which these charming shrubs will be both disap- 
pointing and commonplace. Generally vines 
about the house get set in a mixture of clay, 
brickbats, cinders and building refuse, and the 
owner finally decides that vines are not much 
good; while if the ground had been prepared by 
filling in with good, rich soil before planting, 
and mulched heavily with well rotted manure in 
the fall the results would be most satisfactory. 
BOSTON IVY—The most popular climbing plant 
for covering brick, stone, or wooden walls. The 
color is a fresh, deep green in the summer, 
changing to autumn tints in the fall. Each

FRUITS 
CHOOSE YOUR VITAMINS 
Illinois is one of the leading apple-growing 
States in the Union, and the fruit produced here 
is far superior in flavor and keeping qualities 
than any from the South or West. And unlike 
other fruits, its period of ripening extends 
throughout the year. So that by a selection of 
kinds one may have this most valuable fruit of 
his own growing in a fresh condition the year 
round. Don’t kid yourself that apples do not 
grow here and that planting an orchard would 
be a waste of time and money. 
As a dessert fruit, the pear is of great value. 
When properly ripened there is none of the tree 
fruits more luscious. It is an old saying that “He 
who plants pears plants for his heirs.” The pear 
is a very much longer-lived tree than the apple, 
and, as a rule, comes into bearing much later. 
However, we now have varieties that come into 
bearing soon after planting. The dwarf trees 
often bear in the nursery row, and commence 
bearing very soon after planting, and are annual 
bearers. 
Peaches are the earliest to come into bearing 
after planting of any of the tree fruits. Trees 
have been known to bear fruit within eighteen 
months from the time the seed sprouted, and it is 
not uncommon for them to bear in three years 
from the seed. Trees planted out usually come 
into bearing the second year and come into full 
bearing from three to four years. 
The Plum being a native fruit, is of the most 
easy culture and an abundant bearer. There is 
an endless variety of colors and flavors as well 
as different times of ripening, extending from the 
middle of July to late fall. 
The Apricot is one of the earliest of the tree 
fruits and is the first tree in the spring to show 
bloom. A rich, delicious fruit, coming between 
cherries and peaches. Very much like the peach 
in outward appearance, but like the plum in tex- 
ture and quality. Aside from its value as a fresh 
fruit, the Apricot is fine for canning or drying, 
and vast quantities are used in this way every 
year. 
The Cherry begins to bear when only a few 
feet in height, and is an annual bearer. The fruit 
is fine and delicious, and one of the earliest of 
the tree fruits.
