HORTICULTURAL NOTES.
The best time to plant evergreens 1s
just before the starting of the new
growth.
l'each trees may be planted in the young
Apple orchard, if you five where peaches
grow.
Is it not foolish to grow apples and store

Much fruit is lost because there is not
sufficient care to put nothing but sound
fruit in the cellar. A stitch in time, in
such matters, saves nine surely.
Watch the cellar in which fruit is
stored that it may not become ton warm.
