17 What time put kainit on asparagus

move rose bushes to a new place

prefer to leave where first planted
and enrich each year.

19 How many apple trees for a small
orchard for home consumption, and
what varieties? 25 to 30 trees, four
six early, the same for fall, and
twelve or more for winter. Early harvest,
summer rose, Gravenstein, Vandever Ben
Davis, Winesap, Damon etc.
In our walk of inspection very luxuriant
gardens, large currant bushes far enough
from fence to admit of cultivation
on all sides - fine looking raspberry
bushes - Tomatoes had trellis supports
and mulch of straw. Meet next
