Some growers cultivate the ground several times in the spring and early summer, and then mulch the surface during the balance of the year ; this is a good hint for the small gardener. Prunin(; and Pests.—These fruits are usually grown and trained in bush form, and shoots from the base are utihzed to renew the top gradually. Prunin consists of cutting out weak or superfluous new shoots, and old ones which have outlived their usefulness or which have become diseased or infested with borers. But never cut out too many old stalks at once, for the bulk of the fruit is produced on such wood. Stalks may be left until about three years old — which is often the limit of their useful- ness. All shoots, old or new, mav be cut back, as de- sired, to make thr bushes more com pact and symmetri cal, and the fruit larger. In other words, thin out, cut. rULL WKHDS I5Y HANI) THAI CAN T 1U-: KEACHKO WITH THE HUE.
