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

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.

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

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-

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!
