REALDL ESTATE. HONE PLANNING CHANGEIS 58D Tends to Disregard Do- mestic Problems.

Nitrate of soda is offered for sale by many of the larger seed and hardware stores of the city and suburbs. Trees in grass sod are particularly apt to suffer from nitrogen deficiency because of competition with the grass, and therefore usually benefit from treatment with nitrate of soda or other quickly available nitrogen fertilizer. Pear trees, although responding read- ily to nitrogen fertilizers, should not be treated, because the soft new growth so induced is very susceptible to fi.e or pear blight. THE PLANTING B();\RD‘ ‘Where it is desired to arrange plant- ings very carefully, as in the formal garden or orchard, the planting board will be found of great service in placing the tree just where the stake intended it to be. The stake is, of course, dis- lodged in the process of digging the hole, leaving the planter to guess at the original position. With the use of the planting board the guess is removed. The planting board is simply a narrow board notched at the center and with holes at the ends through which pegs |are pushed into the soil. Before dig- | ging, the board is laid down with the notch at the stake, the pins or pegs are placed, and the board removed, leaving the two pegs in the soil. After the hole is dug, the planting board is again laid down over the pegs. The notch again indicates the original position of the stake and the correct position of the The planting board is vated soil where there is no rim of sod Red raspberries, according to F. W. Card, in his book “Bush Fruits,” need Fruit trees which in the past have | failed to make satisfactory growth may | be greatly helped by an application, 10 | days to two weeks before the flowers | are expected to open, of nitrate of soda. Deficiency of nitrogen in the soil usu- | ally is shown in short annual growth, | a yellowish cast to the foliage and in low production. For trees which have | evidenced this need., applications of | one-tourth pound of nitrate of soda per each year of the tree's age are not too large. Nitrogen is not necessarily | the principal food of the fruit tree, but is most often the lacking element, and when absent the other food ele- ments, though present in sufficient | quantity or excess, cannot form the es- Jameson-Built Model Homes 31 Sold 913 to 937 Quincy Street NW. | Selling Fast Inspect at Once | 6. 7 and 8 large rooms, tiled | bath, h.-w.h, electric lights, 1 hardwood floors and trim, one- | | piece sink, built-in ice box, in- stantaneous water heater and | other extras.

C,; no pruning in the year the canes de- velop, but at the beginning of the sec- ond year, the fruiting year, should be cut back to four or five feet, the height depending spmewhat as to whether fhe plants are supported by a wire trellis. Heading during the first year tends to force out the side shoots, only, perhaps, to be injured during the Winter. Blackberry canes, on the other hand, should be headed during the first grow- ing season at two to three feet. The succeeding Spring the laterals eve then cut back to two feet or less in length. Very few blackberries are cultivated in this vicinity on account of the profu- sion of wild fruit and the throny nature of the plant. The Young dewberry is, however, a promising trailing variety, worthy of planting in home gardens. ‘This blackberry is very productive and bears much of its fruit in August, after the natiye fruits are mostly past. Currants and gooseberries are pruned in much the same way. Fruit is borne on both old and younz wood but most abundantly and in best quantity on the Iatter. Hence the older wood should be gradually removed. Lower branches which tend to lie on the ground should be shortened or removed altogether. For red currants five to eight main to year some of the old with young and thrifty stems. With both the cur- rant and gooseberries, moderate annual pruning is necessary to the production of good sized fruit. ]\'E(;I-ITABLE VA RIETIES, Maryland University, in its extension service bulletin No. 34, presents a list of desirable varieties of vegetables for local gardens.

I GARDEN ITEMS | The sensible home gardener will not waste money in buying a lot of different garden tools and appliances simply be- cause the catalogue says they are neces- sary. The spading fork, rake and hoe are implements enough for the small garden and a sharp saw and pair of hand shears enough for pruning the trees and shrubs. Snowdrops and crocus are in bloom in many gardens and,.although very small and humble, are welcome har- bingers of Spring. The bulbs of both specles are very inexpensive and should be utilized more generally. Parawax, the proprietary substance made for sealing jellies and preserves, has proved to be an excellent grafting wax. It is simply warmed to a liquid condition and brushed over the cut sur- faces with a small paint brush, making the application rapid and easy as com- pared with ordinary grafting wax.
