FRUIT AND FLOWERS

SETTING STRAWBERRY PLANTS.

Cultural Hotm Amateurs TOII DoWtUto Heed. Early fall, and even rammer, is the time usually selected for planting out strawberry plants in the southern states.' At the north the preference is often given to spring planting. When one does not raise their own plants, it is advised to *

purchase near home. As soon as the plants arrive, unless ready immediately to set them out, place in a damp, cool spot, and keep the roots covered with moist sand until wanted for transplant ing. When this time arrives, Greinex advises as follows: Trim off about one-third of the roots with a slanting cut, using a sharp knife, and remove all partly decayed leaves; next dip the roots in water, then scattel the plants along the rows, one phut to every 12 or 15 inches, and follow on hands and knees, taking up each plant in its turn, spreading the roots carefully and plant it in the bottom of the furrow on a little mound of soil, filling in mcl« low earth around it, so the crown will be the veriest trifle below the surface of the ground, but not covered. This v done because the crown growth has an upward tendency, and the plants gradu ally rise higher out of the ground as the seasons go by. The annexed illustration shows a fine sample plant, well planted. As always in setting plants or other growths, the most important point, and the one making success reasonably sure in any case, is the thorough firming of soil around the roots, not merely around the crown. Spring set plants ought not to be allowed to fruit the first season. In the second cut is shown a plan fol lowed by Country Gentleman where a ;" few rare plants are to be removed to an other part of the garden. Square cavities are made with the spade in regular rows, and then the plants are lifted with a mass of earth on them and placed, in a position in the new bed. This work may , be done any time in the year when the ground is not frozen. Ripe berries have

been obtained in this way six weeks after early spring planting. Caution is neces sary, in adopting this mode on adhesive or heavy soils, not to press it with the spade with such firmness bs to make it

oompact, solid or adhesive. :■- —jjm

A GOOD PLAKT WELL PLAOTED. v£

TRANSPLANTING RAEE PLANTS. * c\

Hydrangea Paniculats.

No plant so quickly resents neglect; none other so amply rewards care and at* tention. It is a gross feeder and must have an abundance of food and water. It also roots deeply and profusely, as all""""' gross feeding plants do. Therefdreits requirements are a deep, rich and rathex light soiL It must be also a damp ox * moist one, and when planted in a natu rally dry or sandy soil a slight mulching fe absolutely necessary to retain moisture " about the roots. In addition to this, a matter almost generally neglected is in cutting the plants well back in spring. Each branch should be cut back to within one bud p! the main stem. Large fine plumes will never appear on old wood. As the budf - appear all weak branches should be cut out. This is as essential as the disbud* uing of the rose or chrysanthemum foi large flowers, says The Florist Exchange. By cutting the young growth back, o* rather by nipping the leading bud, about the Ist of June new branches will form; which will come into flower in $eptem* bor, thus prolonging the season of bloom. . ?

New Roses.

A number of new roses will be intro duced next season by the florists. Among the more prominent of these is a seedling named Mrs. W. C. Whitney, and bear ing roses of a deep bright pink hue, .very fragrant. The Meteor, another seedling, is of brilliant crimson color. Caroline Testout, it is claimed, is an improvement on the La France. The American Belle is described as a satinlike pink rose, and the Kaiserina Augusta Victoria a lemon tinted white rose with fine fragrance.

Benefited by Disbudding.

Mr. W. H. Taplin, in Garden and For est, says: "Among the varieties of roses specially benefited by disbudding are the Bride, Catharine Mermet and Woatton, all of which send out lateral buds before the terminal flower opens, and .thereby its size is reduced. La France ia also improved by the same method, for thil • variety when growing strongly often forms lateral buds." ,

Asparagus.

A saving of one or two years is effected by planting roots, strong 2-year old! roots.> For private gardens or for mar keting on a small scale beds may be made 5 feet wide, with three rows plant* ed in eacH^one in the middle and one on each side a foot from the edge.* Let the distanoe between the plants in the rows be 9 inches.
