By thus en- Souraging insect to fight insect & great deal more is accomplished than could poesibly result from the use of Doisons and other methods of control. PRUNING ‘With the approach of the dormant ssason some gardeners’ thoughts ap- parently turn toward pruning. It is @ that hardy fruits, such as apple, , plum, peach and grape, may ®e pruned any time from leaf fall to budding In the Spring, but for the nome gardener with only a few trees it is really better to pot off the prun- ing of all plants until Spring. At tha: time one can determine the full ex tent of storm injury and the differ ence between strong and weak shoot: will be In greater evidence. Shrubs of the type that bloom In sarly Spring—namely, llac, bridal wreath, forsythla, weigella, mock orange, snowball—should be left en irely alone until after biossoming. By no means lét the pruning urge lead you to cut such plants, as the most graceful clusters of bloom are nsually borne on the ends of the shoots. On the other hand, plants like the large flowerad hvdrangea and erape myrtle, which bloom in Mid- sunimer, should be pruned some time before the buds start. Thoughtless pruning without regard to the nature | of the plant Is bound to result in| harm. i | TIMELY SUGGESTIONS I It has now come to the time of ear to put away the garden tools Viping with an olled cloth will ald trate deeply. Spray materials of a polsonous na- ture should be labeled conspicuously and placed on high shelves out of reach of children. Fruit trees will be less subject to mice injury if grasses and weeds are cleared away for 2 feet space apout the trunk. Where mice or other rodents are dangerous, trees may well be protected with cylinders of strong galvanized wire mesh cloth. For many suburban gardeners poul- manure is an important source of fertility. Winter is an important period of accumulation and proper methods of handling materially affect results, as poultry manure readily de- composes and loses nitrogen unless kept dry. It is an excellent plan to sift coal ashes or dry soil upon the Aropping boards after cleaning.
