Madsen Autumn is an excellent time to plant nearly all varieties of fruit bearing plant and this autumn there is again, a fine supply av ailable. In the s u b u r ban gar dens where space permits a cherry, an annl snH a prune - - like the X, very nice. Dr. Richard P White, executive secretary of the American Associ ation of Nursery men, stated this week that since World War II began, more frul trees have died than have been planted, and that replacements are needed badly on the grounds around many homes and in many small home orchards. In addition to the public's de sire to have a bit of fruit at hand. an Increased appreciation is noted -3?- JJ 3 in the decorative value of fruit trees if they are chosen with care. More and more, architectural plans include one or more fruit trees em bodied in a terrace or somewhere else close to the house in informal plantings. Apple Trees Are Good An apple tree particularly lends itself to plantings where the ram bling ranch houses or the colonial houses are used and space permits. One of the earliest trees to bear here is the Yellow Transparent. One of the most populor of later summer apples is the Gravenstein. The Winesap tree offers one of the nJbst delightfully shaped if cared for properly. Other good varieties here are Wagener, Jonathan, Nor thern Spy (one of my own favor ies), Baldwin, King, Grimes, Yel low Newtown - and Spitzenberg. The Delicious is one of the finest eating apples but many growers have complained that It does not grow consistently well In the Wil lamette valley. Cherries Need Loam Cherries offer almost as much beauty as do the apple trees, and none are more attractive either in flower or fruit than the so-called sour cherries, with the Kentish being perhaps the prettiest of alL This, too grows a bit smaller -than many of the cherry varieties. The Mprellos. too, are smaller than the Montmorency, which la, however, a good sour variety. Of the sweet cherries, of course, the Lamberts and Bines in the dark and the Boy al Anns in the light colored varie ties surpass all others for "that home cherry tree. It is to be remembered that cher ries do not grow too well in clay soils, but better In the loamy tex tures. Prune or plum trees offer attrac tive small trees and may be had in imany varieties. TOie Italian prune tree is best known here. The French Domson is a very fine tree but must be watched for suck era. The Formosa and the Santa Rosa varieties of the Japanese plum are very attractive and ex cellent eating. Pacific and date prunes are larger fruits. Among the yellow varieties are the Wash ingtonand the Reine Claude, the latter not so well known here as in the eastern states. Peach trees, under our home garden conditions are as a whole too short-lived to be worthwhile planting. Also they are not par ticularly ornamental.

Dec. 8 Mt Angel Garden club Qnestlons and Answers B. H. R. says she would like the names of about 10 trees to be used in a woodland planting. She has about an acre (a bit more, she thought), and wants variety. Also she wants trees which will g&w rather large, with only one or two smaller ones. Ans.: Taking for granted the soil is well-drained and not worn out she might plant a couple of Moun tain Ash for the smaller trees, or a dogwood, the Cornus Florida. For evergreen trees (which are planted best in groups and not too mixed with the deciduous) there might be a redwood, a Port Ox ford cedar, one of our own Doug las firs, Lebanon Cedar or one of the tall pines such as plnus itro In the deciduous group the va riety is great but might Include the tulip tree, the sweet gum (I have noticed that the sweet gums along Monroe st. in Corvallls have never been more colorful than this year), the Canoe birch (betula papyrif era) or the yellow birch (betula lutes), the beech (fagus america na), the oak (quercus rubra) or the white oak (quercus alba), the plane, the red maple. There are any. number of trees which may be used effectively and successfully. These are just a few which come to my mind as good choices. Pick ing a tree Is almost like picking a hat - - it has to suit your person ality. , ' T. H- asks If date palms can be grown from seeds from commercial dates, land if they could be made to grow indoors. Ans;: Usually the seed grows from commercial dates quite rea dily, although occasionally you may get one that hasn't been prop erly pollinated. Brief stratification for; four or five weeks helps to start the seeds. They are like hol ly; however, some bear and some do not. Occasionally, you will see a date palm bearing fruit in cap- The Statmonv Salem, bregon Sunday. November 14, 1933 vui out vcx7 oxicn. C S. asks if trees can be dwarf ed 4athome.w Ans.: The method and not the place is the important feature. Dwarfing trees depends on two things, working on slow-growing stock and confining the roots and neading-in. Usually they are best grown in pots or boxes. Before putting the trees Into the little pots, cut off part of the tap root Pot firmly. Continue to cut away roots that push through the bottom of the spot. Constant pin ching Tf the growth is necessary. Repot in the spring, shifting into a pot only slightly larger. The pro cess takes patience, and it does seem sort of a cruel way to treat a tree, but it can be done. Speaking of RECORDS , (This Is the first of a series of articles, relating to the building of a children's record library. No attempt wiu be made to specify recordings for a particular age, but merely to present a few of the outstanding records now available for a children's library.) itecoras nave now become a very meaningful part of a young child's life. Rusty, Bozo and Little Orley just seem to be true char acters and offer hours of happy contentment lor little children. Recordings motivate good listen ing habits. There is no way which stirs the Imagination and yet Is so centered around the meaning ful ; experiences as a child's record library. Brahm's Cradle Song and par ticularly the one sung In English by Helen TraubeL is most relaxing and soothing to the small baby. Frank Luther, an excellent narra tor : for children, interprets Nurs ery Rhymes with much color and enthusiasm. He often asks the child to participate with him in songs a grand way to hold the small fry's attention. Band music Is always fascinating to the very young. RCA Victor's Washington Post March has an the necessary Instrumentation for motivating rhythmic activity. Next week well suggest color ful record ideas for 2V to the 4 year olds'; in the meantime re member, young folks like repeti tions of songs and stories let records be the answer! : Downstairs; Oregon Bid.
