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. —Indianapolis News. 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. ^ FOUR GIRLS Restored to Health by Lydia E„ Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Read What They Say.
