NATURE ON A SPREE
YELLOW APPLES ON
RED-FRUITED TREES
Yellow skinned apples are
sometimes produced on limbs of
trees that otherwise bear red
fruits. Does Nature go on a
spree when that happens?
Not necessarily. Limbs bear
ing the off colored fruits were
probably transferred from their
parent plants as dormant buds.
Bud grafting isn’t difficult.
Home gardeners easily learn
the trick. Little cutting is done.
If the buds don’t “take,” the
stock can be rebudded the same
season.
According to a Pennsylvania
State University correspondence
course on plant propagation,
budding is done when bark
peels ’ readily from wood: in
summer, from mid-June to mid-
August. Roses and pears are
budded in early July. Late July
is best for apples. Cherries bud
well in mid-August.
Fully formed buds, ready for
winter dormancy, on vigorous
shoots of current season’s wood,
make the best budding material.
Study the Penn State course
to learn more about budding
and other methods of plant pro
pagation. Send your name and
address with $4 25 to Plant Pro
pagation, Box 5000, University
Park, Pennsylvania 16802. A
complete copy of the course
comes to you by mail and there
are no other charges.

How To Soft Cook Eggs
Use enough water to cover the egg and use
the same amount of water each
time
Make sure the water is at the
same rate of boil and tempera
ture each time.
Keep eggs in the same refri
gerator at constant tempera
tures.
The size of the egg should he
the same or the larger the
egg the longer the time in the
water.
The answer to soft cooking
