Berries In Your Garden By ROBERT SCHMIDT Small fruits and berries should | have a place In every home gar den because they adapt themselves to the usual methods of garden culture and they come into produc tion so soon after planting. Of these the dewberry is one of the easiest to grow. It will succeed on any type of soil and, although it responds to fertilization, does not require a great deal of care along that line. Plants may still be set in most parts of the state. The usual plant ing distances are five feet apart in the row with rows five to eight feet apart. For garden culture dew henries are generally trained to stakes which are five to six feet high. Twenty-five plants should supply the average family with all the berries they will need for fresh fruit and for freezing or canning. Plants set now will produce a full crop of berries in June of 1956. The red-fruited varieties such as Youngberry, Boysenberry and Lav acaberry are generally recommend ed for home garden planting. Un der our conditions the JJoysenberry appears to be somewhat larger than the others. These are claimed to be and now are generally accept ed as hybrids between a dewberry species and the red raspberry. They have a raspberry flavor and are of exceptionally high dessert quality when allowed to become fully ripe. However, when ripe they are quite soft and cannot be shipped or kept for any length pf time, but must be eaten or processed without de lay. Thornless strains of these may be obtained and are recommended for home gardens because it is more pleasant to handle the canes and to pick the fruit. Sometimes the thornless plants will revert back to the thorny type. Propaga tions should always be made from the thdrnless canes if you wish to retain the thornless characteristic. Dewberries are propagated by cov ering the tips of the canes with soil in early fall. These will root dur ing fall and winter and may be dug up. cut from the parent plant and set in a new location during February or March.

Karl Archibald, #f London, can tell you that there is a lot of difference in the way the King's English is ? handled. Karl, who married a Richmond girl, was Axing up an apartment for use in the alternate years when they live in the United States.
