Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, 1913, Vol. 36 From four acres of red raspberries last season I sold almost one thousand dollars' worth of fruit. The bushes were set out in the spring of 1910 in rows seven feet and nine feet apart alternately and twenty inches apart in the row. In a large patch this is an advantage when getting out the old wood, as -a team and wagon can be driven down the nine foot rows and have the brush thrown on from the seven foot rows. The bushes were hoed and cultivated the first summer and made a fine growth before fall. In August the bushes were cut back to two feet and in October the bushes were strong and the canes large and they Wintered well. In the spring of 1911 the ground was hoed and cultivated and kept clean all summer. In spite of the severe drought of that season we picked feur thousand eight hundred baskets from the patch.

Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, 1922, Vol. 45 Someone asks in your valuable paper how to grow California poppies. These have done very well for me.

Sift a little fine soil over the seed. In order to avoid hardening the ground when watering place a piece of tissue paper over the box and water through it.

Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, 1916, Vol. 39 Nitrogen forces the growth and pro duces thriftiness; without its presence in our soils, our orchards would make but little growth. Large sized leaves of a dark green color indicate its pres ence in quantity. Phosphorus aids the tree in assimi lating other plant foods. It also as sists in transporting the various foods to each section of the tree. Without its presence we have a poorly devel oped tree. Potash produces fruit; hence the necessity of an abundant supply. Calcium hardens and makes our trees sturdy, enabling them to bear the crops of fruit. It is of great impo1t ance to day, because it breaks down the crude potash in our soils making it available for the trees. It is also essen tial for correcting acidity in sour. Soils.
