THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE.
AN ADDRESS ON FRUIT GARDEN
ING BY BAILEY G. STREET.
Published by Request of the Winneshiek
County Farmers’ Institute, held at Hes
per, lowa, February- 7th and Bth, 1896.
I take it for granted that the farmers’
private garden and not market gard
ening is intended. In the first place
the word gardening includes different
branches such as vegetables, fruits and
flowers, and that each should have a
place on every farm, whether large or
small. I shall confine my few remarks
to the fruit garden. In passing through
the country, I notice that very few
farmers have any small fruit at all, and
Ido not understand why they thus
deprive themselves of such a luxuiw
when it is so easy to be obtained.
Perhaps it is through neglecting to
attend to it at the right time, or that
it w ill take too much time and trouole,
or that there is a mystery about the
growing of them that they don’t under
stand. There is no mystery at all
about it and the growing of berries Is as
simple as the growing of corn, and
there is nothing that will produce the
same amount of money value on a
small piece of land, for the labor expen
ded if attended to at the right time.
A good many persons say to me, if I
could raise nice grapes like you do I
would set out vines right away, but
somehow I do not have any luck
raising grapes. And probably these
same persons had some time previously
bought a few grape vines of an agent,
paying two or three prices for them,
setting them out in some out of the
way corner, letting them stand out all
winter sticking up through snow drifts,
and of course with such treatment little
or no fruit; aud then call it luck.
What a misnomer. Home men will say
I would rather buy my berries than
take the time and trouble to raise them;
but in such cases generally the family
is not supplied with half as many
berries as they could use and what they
do get are not as good as when picked
frewi from the vines and bushes.
I remember when I was a boy, there
was a piece in one of the readers enti
tled: is no Excellence Without
Great Labor.” which is true in all de
partments of life. If we would have
any thing that is valuable we must
work for it. If we expect something
for nothing, get a few plants of a neigh
bor, set them out and let them take
care of themselves and expect to get a
lot of nice berries from them, we shall
be disappointed.
Notice the provisions of a kind Prov
idence in furnishing us with a success
ion of fruits, during the entire season,
one kind is hardly gone before another
is ripening; from the currant early in
the season, to the grape late in the fall.
Let the farmer lake a piece of laud
by the side of his vegetable garden
where the pigs aud chickens cannot
get to it, say ten rods long aud three
or a little more wide. At one side put
out three rows of strawberry plants
three and one half feet apart, in rows
running the long way; Then three
rows of black raspberries six feet apart
and two feet nine inches apart in the
rows, aud three rows of red raspberries
and one row of currants ana goose
berries live feet apart. This will need
about 300 strawberry plants and 180
each of black and red raspberry plants
and 30 currant and gooseberry plants.
Keep these well cultivated ancf hoed
once a week during the season up to
the tirst of August, destroying all weeds
as soon as they make their appearanec.
Of the strawberries, Crescent and
Bederwood are good; raspberries, black.
Palmer, and Older; red Turner and
Cuthbert, currants, Cherry and Victor
ia, and white grape and gooseberries,
Downing and Haugliten seedling are
all good. Here we have less than one
tifth of an acre of land and the tirst
year after setting out we ought to get
200 boxes of strawberries and a few
raspberries, aud the next year 400
boxes of berries. What a luxury to the
family to have all the nice ripe berries
they can use through the year! Any
fruit grower will tell you that this is
no fancy picture, twice this amount is
often raised by the acre. You will have
to watch the current aud gooseberry
bushes and, as soon as the currant
worms make their appearance sprinkle
the bushes with a solution ot water
and white hellebore, in the proportion
of a tablespoon full of hellebore to a
gallon of water, and apply as often as
tiie worms make their appearance.
And last but not least in importance,
comes the grape. I would put out noth
ing that ripens later than the Concord
and earlier is l*etter. The tirst fall after
setting out trim back to two buds,
and tiie next fall to three buds, cutting
out each fall the previous years growth;
This is what is called the renewal
system. There are various other ways
of trimming. Tiie grapes grow on
shoots starting early in the spring from
vines of tiie previous year’s growth.
After trimming in the fall curl them in
a small place and cover with dirt, aud
the next spring after danger of frost is
over, take them up and tie to a support.
Of varieties Early Ohio, Moore’s early,
Worden and Concord for black; Brigh
ton and Delaware for red. And Lady
and Pocklington for white. Named in
the order of their ripening.
I have said nothing about the uewer
kinds of fruits, many of which have
great merit. But have named only
tried kinds, that have proved a success
over a large extent of country, and
that will not disappoint any one that
will give them good treatment.
And, although not properly belong
ing to tiie fruit garden yet closely
connected with the subject, I want to
refer brietly to the larger fruits. There
is of tiie cherries, the Osthem and
several other kinds that are perfectly
hardy, large and of excellent quality.
Of tiie plums there is half a dozen
kinds that are valuable; and of apples
there are yellow, transparent, dueness,
wealthy McMahon, white Scotts, win
ter, peerless, Pattory Greening and
others that are standing our climate
quite w’ell now. I notice that in dis
cussing the different methods of fann
ing in this Institute, the question is
constantly being asked, “Does it pay?”
And this is the Anal test to be applied
to all methods, and so we may say in
regard to gardening, does it pay; and
we will each have to answer for our
selves. If we are like Jack, the boy we
heard about last evening, looking at the
dark side and seeing nothing but
drudgery, vexation' and trouble, per
haps it will not pay us;jbut if we are
like the 'other boy, and as every body
should be, looking at the bright side, it
will pay abundantly. Dr. John Hol
land, I think it was, said it was worth
one thousand dollars a year to any
young man to be able to look at the
bright side of life continually. It pays
in bringing us into close relation with
the l>eautiful and wonderful in nature.
I say wonderful. We set out two
plants, side by side, give them the
same care, and they receive the same
sunshine and the same rain, grow in
tiie same soil, yet one produces a red
berry and the other a black one. Why
is this? We cannot tell. It pays in
watching the plants grow- and develop
and bud, blossom, and bear fruit It
pays in giving the children the pleas
ure of eating all the nice berries they
want. It pays in the help it gives the
good wife in preparing over one thous
and meals a year for the household.
It pays in the enjoyment w-e get out of
it. It pays in the opportunity it affords
us of giving our friends a treat when
they come to see us; and it pays in the
increased good health and comfort it
gives tiie whole family.
That there are difficulties in the way
of success in the raising of large fruits
in this climate I do not deny, but I
believe there are none but what intelli
gent purseverance will overcome, and
we are making advancement on this
line all the time.
In putting out fruit here, the first
thsng to find out is, is it hardy, of good
quality, and a good bearer, if it does not
fill the bill in these respects we do not
w-ant it. There is the Duchess tree,
hardy, a good bearer, and good quality.
If we have one good fall apple we may
have more. There is the McMahan
white tree, hardy, a good bearer, an
excellent apple, and keeps well into the
winter. If we have one good winter
apple we may have more. I know that
we have had' repeated failures on this
line, but that is no reason forgiving up
in dispair. Let us show true grit by
meeting and overcoming these diffi
culties.
I believe that the time is coming
when this country will produce all the
fruit that we can consume, and that
those that put out fruit nicely and
carefully selected, will be well paid
for it.

soldier’s motto. Let it be ours.
