I SHADE TREE INJURY | It is common knowledge among gar- deners, especially professional gardeners, that the various'species of shade trees differ widely in their ability to with- stand smoke and other adverse city con- ditions. City smoke contains sulphur fumes and other harmful gases which do not occur in the open country air, at least in appreciable amounts.

I HOME GROWN RASPBERRIES Next to the strwaberry, the raspberry | | is the most popular small fruit and is | almost equally desirable in the home garden. Yet the raspberry has fallen into evil days because of the rapid spread of the mosaic , which has literally wiped out plantations everywhere. Generally the loss of the ' plantation is rather gradual, so much Peaches and plums have the habit of | setting many more fruits than the trees can carry to maturity and ripen in| |good quality and size. Dr. Marsh of | the Illinois Experiment Station, reports that an 8-year-old peach tree may | carry more than 30,000 flower buds. | Natural agencies, such as nutrition re-| lations and weather, usually thin this number down to 1,200 to 1,600 fruits| per tree. Where the grower removed | one-third of the final crop by taking off nubbins and injured fruits and general thinning he actually harvested | just as many bushels of ripe peaches per tree, and the peaches, being larger and more perfect, returned more money to the grower than did the fruit of un- thinned trees. It 1is suggested that peaches be thinned on young, thrifty trees 50 that the remaining fruits stand 4 to 5 inches apart, and even farther on older trees. Fruits may be success- fully thinned up to the time they are half grown. The home gardener may not, of course, be interested in money returns, but he is always interested in obtaining is an opera- —of Aseriminating taste Tookin FEr ROCRTION TN WASRINGEON.
