The Practice and Science of Gardening-7
' The Cultivation of Fruit-trees '
F. W. Costin , N.D.H., F.R.H.S.
Today Mr. F. W. Costin is to talk about the growing of fruit-trees : apples, pears, plums, cherries ; and the selection of varieties for special purposes— late and early, eating and cooking. Listeners will hear about methods of planting both in the garden and orchard ; about cropping, spraying, manuring, and so forth.
As Mr. Costin is to talk to Schools next week about the pruning of fruit trees, listeners may care to ' get up ' the subject beforehand, and they can do so by listening on Friday evening. At
6.50 p.m. in the National programme they will hear a discussion on this very subject.
