Show SPRING now it is april and spring a appears p to have made its advent for good it is rather late but that may be no disadvantage late spring salo sale very severe on livestock live stock but are ae a e not necessarily bad for general farm and garden crops and for fruit they are frequently specially favorable because the late cold storms retard the development of the fruit buds until there is less les 8 liability of the blossoms anit and the setting fruit being senjt senji sy llin atu aged by late frosts the amount of snow that has fallen the last few weeks in most parts of the territory seems to have dissipated all fears of any unusual lack of water fol noi irrigation D purposes and all things considered there is reason to expect an excellent harvest the coming summer and fall plowing harrowing seed sowing and planting will be driving businesses the present month provided storms do not prevent and the time must surely have about come for them to hold up a while tree planting lanting for fruit shade and timber ger is nw in order and the sooner attended to where the soil is in proper condition the better for fruit people will be likely to plant what they want almost all the fruit trees common to temperate climates do well weli here of late years the culture of the peach appears to have been not thou thought ht so much ofas of as formerly probably because of th the e brief time thrle d during u ring which tile tho fruit is in season and the tiie perishable cli cil character ameter of the same yet the peach is 13 one of our most valuable fruits easily grown early and regular and profuse in bearing and lu lucelous luscious selous to a high degree when when dried it can always besold be sold for good quality carefully dried peaches the market seems to be always open especially when they are preceded by the tile great advantage of a good name for canning for winter vinter and spring use there is not a finer nor more acceptable fruit grown than the peach and those persons who il have avo ave once enjoyed good canned peaches will be very loth to do without them now is tile the time to plant shade trees there are a great many of these already in tile tiie city and that they tiley add to the beauty of the same to its healthfulness and to the pleasure of living in it needs no urging from us it is patent to all indeed were it not for the shade and fruit trees salt lake laue city would be as dreary and uninviting biting a place of residence as many others everybody could name but although there are many shade trees in every still there are many blank spaces on tile the lines of the sidewalks side walks some of them extending the whole length of a lot or a block which ought to be filled up and to do which there is no better time than tile the time present some somme of these voids on thee thes the sidewalks are parallel with the lots of well weli to tb do citizens citizen who would enhance the particular beauty of thel their rown own places place as well veli as the tho general beauty of the city and confer a favor upon all pedestrians who perambulate thereabout there about in the summer time by filling up those voids by planting shade trees now is a good time too to take steps to render the drive or walk to agricultural park one of the most delightful in the city by the planting of a double row of shade trees down the centre of north temple street a row on each side of the great watercourse there this is hardly a proper matter for individual enterprise and therefore I 1 it t would he be more fittingly taken in hand band by the city authorities the cost would not be serious but in a few years the addition to tile the beauty of the street would be very great there would not be a more delightful walk or drive with within u the city limits and very few anywhere provided also that the sh shade ade ado trees on the sidewalks were kept filled out in number and maintained in a thriving condition there is another street which could be made much more beautiful than it is and that is south houth temple street where it runs through the brow of the north bench alone alona that street a much used and favorite thoroughfare there is need for the distance of two blocks at least of grading the street into two distinct roads a higher maher and a lower between the two a row of shade trees might be planted to soften the break between the two grades for mingin formo forro ingin a few years where now unsightliness predominates two avenues or of beauty which as such would amply repay the trouble and expense for a shade tree we do not know of any more suitable variety for far this locality than tile the honey locust it is symmetrical and handsom ein eln summer or in winter it is not so ropy I 1 in n root or branch as the common black locust and does not appear to be so liable to be mutilated mutilate in n branch or over toppled root and branch by severe severo winds as a the black 11 locust does growing symmetrically and handsomely and maintaining a firm holdin hold hoid in the ground tile the honey locust manifestly does not require that annual barbarous butchering of limbs that some people seem to consider the black locust does to enable it to maintain its perpendicularity of trunk year after year the honey locust too is well endowed in the line of self defence the greatest vandal of a boy has iris little desire 0 40 o climb among and mutilate the thorny branches of the honey locust and therefore its beauty is the more likely to remain unimpaired by the pranks of mischievous urchins let us have more of these trees planted for shade and beauty that our nair fair city may become a still more choice and delightsome place of visit visitation atin and residence now is the tile time to take measures to secure such a des desirable rable rabie result |
