GARDENING FOR BIG PROFIT.
One of the prominent truck grow¬
ers of Texas claims to have mado
$G00 an acre from his field of toma¬
toes this year. According to his state¬
ment the successful truck farmers in
his section are making an average net
yearly income of about $100 per acre.
Such returns compare favorably with
those of the successful gardeners in
the vicinity of the large cities of the
North.—American Cultivator.
PRUNING EVERGREENS.
For all heavy pruning of the
spruce, arbor-vitae, hemlock and all
coniferous evergreens do the work in
the spring before the new growth
starts. III pruning for purpose of
shaping up where some particular
density of form is required, as in
hedges and the formal garden, sum¬
mer pruning is resorted to and this
may he done in July and August.
Fall or winter pruning of such ever¬
greens is not desirable in this latitude
as it robs the plant of its naturai
protection against the cold winds.
Cuts made in the spring or summer
are immediately covered with resin
and heal much more quickly than
those made in the freezing weather.

RUSTLESS ASPARAGUS WANTED.
At Concord, Mass., the well known
asparagus specialist, Charles W.
Prescott, Is carrying on asparagus
breeding experiments in co-operation
with the United States Department
of Agriculture and the Massachusetts
Experiment Station. The object is to
develop a variety of asparagus that
is not subject to rust. Mr. Prescott
has already found that some of the
‘ present varieties are more resistent
than others. He asks the co-opera¬
tion of all asparagus growers, who
are asked to report to him the area
and varieties grown, the behavior of
the different varieties in resisting the
rust and any experience regarding the
means of combating the disease.—
American Cultivator.
VIOLETS FOR EARLY SPRING.
Florists who grow violets for their
early spring trade grow the plants
out doors in summer, setting out
small runners in early spring. These
form fine clumps by October, at which
time they are brought from the
ground and planted either in frames
or on benches in a cold greenhouse.
Even when in a frame without arti¬
ficial heat the heat of the sun is suf¬
ficient to bring out the flowers to¬
wards the close of winter, but unless
the blossoms are greatly desired it is
better to give a good deal of air to
the plants on favorable days, to check
their growth, for if pushed ahead far,
and very cold weather comes towards
the close of winter, it requires much
care to keep frost out, frost that
would do no harm were the plants in
almost a dormant state. As spring
approaches growth will soon push
out, as the violet does not need much
warmth to make leaves and flower.
It is, of course, different where heat
is. The plants can then be let grow
as they will, and whether in the
dwelling house or in a greenhouse,
a temperature of about fifty degrees
will bring them along nicely.—Prac¬
tical Farmer.
THE FLOWERING CURRANT.
While the majority of our early
flowering shrubs have blossoms of
some shade of white or yellow the
flowering currant (ribes sanguineutn)
stands out quite distinct therefrom by
reason of its drooping clusters of
deep rose colored flowers. This ap¬
plies to the common kind, as there is
a variety^—atrorubens—in which they
are of a glowing red color, and anoth¬
er—albida—whose flowers are- whit¬
ish. To the amateur with a limited
garden these flowering currants have
much to recommend them, for they
are not particular as to soil or situa¬
tion, though a well drained open loam
suits them best, Added to this they
are of neat growth and the roots are
in no way of an aggressive nature, so
that they can 'be safely planted in
close proximity to other choice
shrubs. Another desirable feature is
that neat bushy plants that can be
depended upon to flower may he read¬
ily obtained from nurseries, Cut
sprays gathered just as the earliest
blossoms are expanding will last a
long time in water, as the remaining
buds will develop as readily as they
do out of doors. Associated with a
few light colored daffodils, a vase fur¬
nished with sprays of the flowering
currant forms a delightful feature.
The leaves, which have a pleasing
fragrance, expand at the same time
as the flowers. The golden flowered
currant, which is a little later in ex¬
panding, Is also a charming shrub.
The flowering currants are admirable
shrubs for small shaded front gar¬
dens. They are most accommodat¬
ing.—Indianapolis News. ^
