Wide Variety Possible
Fruit in Home Planting
By HARK M. TAYLOR
In purchasing fruit and trees .erally considered to be self-
fertilt or self-pollinizlng. Cher-
it is well to comult tout nun
eryman on the advisability of
aetting out a "pollinizer"
malt tree in th orchard
order to insure fruiting. Oc-
aalonally this effect can be
accomplished by grafting
pollenizer onto th pistillate
tree, as it is quit often done
with holly to insure setting of
th berries. Peaches, figs, fil
berts, cherries and many other
trees must be watched if fruit
ing Is wanted.
The manner of pollenixlng is
one of Nature's oddities! Most
often it is the bee that alights
on the pollenizer la search of
honey and gets pollen on its
feet and body, then it lights on
the pistillate flower leaving
some of that pollen on the
pistil. This the bees are the
orchardists' best friends and
this explains why so often you
see beehives scattered through
out an orchard. Unfortunate
ly, Injudicious use of DDT has
destroyed many bees as well
as the harmful insects so scl
nee has developed a synthetic
pollen ' purchasable at a seed
store that will insure the for
mation of fruit
To correct poor pollination,
it planting a pollinizer tree
nearby is not practicable, you
can tie a flowering branch of
the pollinizer in the tree, be
ing sure to keep its stem in wa
ter so it will not wilt. Peaches,
nectarines and apricots are gn-

rles, filberts, figs and some
others require a pollinizer.
Don't expect immediate
crops in quantity. Some fruits
bear very young, while others
must be established for some
time.
Don't be misled by extrava
gant claims of some mail order
nurseries regarding the pro
ductlon possibilities of older
trees. It IS not necessary to
have an older tree to get quick
fruit producton. The above
periods are based upon the
planting of what is commonly
known as "whips" single stalks,
no branches. The root system
is most important and should
be heavy with many feeder
roots. You may have to trim
the roots slightly when plant
ing to compensate for cutting
back the leader (top) about
one-third. If there are many
eyes" on the whip it will not
be long before branches will
appear and treatment from
then on will ehange.
For too many years we have
come to depend upon commer
cially grown fruits of various
qualities. Surely we could not
expect the quality of such
fruits, often picked before
properly ripened, picked, trans
ported, stored and store-handled
many times, could be of
the delicious quality as those
plucked from the tree or vine.
Fruit trees are tolerant of most
growing conditions except wet
feetl . The site must be well
drained. Poor soils can be
built up by fertilizing, culti
vating, cover cropping, etc.
For appearance s sake, put
th larger trees (apples and
pears) in the background. If
spec is limited, you can even
use a fruit tree as an orna
mental specimen in the lawn
for it will have; beautiful blos
soms. For the place that is
j handicapped for space one can
us dwarf fruit trees, that bear
earlier and heavier yet take
up much less room, or, if de
sired get trees grafted with
early, mldseason and late va
rietles to extend the fruiting
season as long as possible.
Trees sparliered against a wall
or fence are attractive addi
tions to the garden and pro
duce delicious fruit, too.

Moving of Plants '
BY MARK M. TAYLOR
Presuming that our readers
are starting a number of seeds
in flats, pans or pots indoors
or in greenhouses for planting
out later, the proper method
is important to secure harden
ed plants.
, The time to transplant Is
governed by the leaves on the
seedlings. Th first pair of
leaves are "seed" . leave . or
cotyledons. The time to trans
plant is upon appearance of
the third and fourth leaves.
Transplanting is usually done
from the original flat or seed
pan to another flat so at to
avoid crowding at the plants
grow. The soil in the second
flat should be a mixture of
good garden soil, sand and
compost o r leaf -mold (or
peatmoss). This should be
thoroughly mixed. This mix
ture should be damp but not
soggy. Over this spread dry
leaf mold or fine compost by
sifting. With a common kitch
en fork you may lift a few of
the seedlings carefully. Shike
off most of the soli clinging to
the roots. Separate the in
tertwined roots, taking car
not to break them . . Trans
plant in rows two inches
apart. Make holes for the
roots in the flat with a dibble,
then press the soil mixture
back around the rootlets.
Sprinkle the new seedlings
ngnuy. u they topple over
under weight of the moisture
raise them gently with - a
small pointed object. Protect
these transplants from direct
sun with gauze or screen
which may be removed at
night. It is a good idea to
harden seedlings gradually by
transferring flats from .In
doors to a coldframe or to an
outdoor sheltered location.
Plant outside as soon as plants
are hardened. After pricking
out a flat of seedlings, it is
a good idea to water them
immediately using a fine
spray to freshen the wilted
plants and settle the soil
around the little Toots. It is
also a good idea before prick
ing out to water the seedlings
with a vitamine B-l solution
to reduce the shock of trans
planting. In about 4 or 8
weeks, the young plants will
be ready to go into the open
ground. Harden them first by
setting flats in open, out of
direct sunlight. Nip tops out
of spindly plants to encourage
bushy growth. .
Guar an teen that protect new
home buyers against zauiiy
construction are now being
civen voluntarily by an in-
creasina number of builders
throughout the United States,
a national survey showed to
day. Of the S70 builders Polled
bv the National Association of
Home Builders. 282 reported
that they guarantee their homes
against defective workmanship
or materials for periods gen
erally extending to one year
or longer. ' . ,
Th guarantees are in the
form of Home Owner Service
policies assuring the buyer of
th soundness of his new home
or other stipulation that the
builder stands behind his product.
Th 262 affirmative replies
represented a cross-section of
large and small volume home
builders in 140 cities, covering
39 states and the District of
Columbia.
Of the 282 builders who re
ported that they guarantee
their construction, 178 said
they accept responsibility for
their workmanship and mate
rials for one year; one for IB
months; 10 for as long as three
years; two for five years; and
12 for an indefinite period of
at least on year. Another 81
reported that .they giv six
month guarantees, and 11 said
they remedy free of charge any
defects for which Ihey can
properly be held responsible
that show up within three
months after the buyer moves
into his new home. .
