GARDEN TIME BY M. E. GARDNER A very interesting letter has been received from Mr. Dwight Nichois, publisher of the Wilkes Journal-Patriot. Supposing that other read ers may rave sin.ilar prob lems. I have elected to de vote this column to answer ing his questions. Last winter Mr. Nichols requested help concerning Insect and disease problems he was having with his bunch grapes. I suggested a spray schedule which, he says, “was a perfect solution. I had top quality grapes in eight varieties and hope to have 10 bearing this year.” If you need a spray calen dar, see your county agent or write me for one. He continues: “I have another problem. Five years ago I set an Abundance plum and a Burbank for cross pollination. Last year the Abundance produced at least a bushel of fine plums. * The Burbank had only two or three p’ums because it b’ooms in March and has no chance getting by freezes. Is there something I can put in of the Burbank which will b’oom alor<g wi s h the Abundance, some two weeks later?” The question puzzles me a little, but this is the way it looks to me with the in formation at hand. Mori; of the Japanese (Oriental) plums are self-unfruitful, when planted alo’ie, but pro duce very well when two nr more varieties are planted together. Both Abundance and Burbank are in this grouD. Also, theses varieties should b’oom c’oser togeth er than Mr. Nichols indicat es. At least the blooming periods should overlap eno ugh to give a fruitful com binatjln. .. The sex life of is more than complicated so I will not pursue the prob lem further here. I am writ ing Mr. Nichols for addition al information, but in order not to leave you in a quan dary. su{?eest4ng varieties of plums which should give a fruitful combination in case you want to plant trees this spring. You will find these varie ties satisfartory and they are listed aoproximate’v in order of ripe dng: Methley (reddish purple); Red June (mottled eramet red); Abun dance (bright cherry red); Burbank (bright reddich purple); Santa Rose (pur plish crimson); Stanley (deep purplish blue); Shrop shire (dark purple). Shrop shire is a Damson type . From this group, select two or more varieties always ■including Santa Rose as one of them as it is a good polli nator for other varieties. Mr. Nichols also poses a strawberry problem. “It looks like Tennessee Beauty is on the decline. Last spring I set some, of them along with Surecrop, Pocahontas and Midway. All grew well except < Tennessee Beauty made few plants and poor growth last summer.” Ic is my opinion that the “decline’’ of Tennessee Bea uty was caused by one of the virus diseases or by red stele, which is a fungus dis ease Only disease free (cer tified) plants should be pur chased. Sometimes, even, with the best of care, these diseases will slip by the nurseryman
