Horticulture and Agriculture Related. Horticulture and apiculture are very closely related. Growing fruita depends very largely upon bees to help distribute pollen from one tree to another and not leave every flower dependent upon its pollen for fertilization. Then the flowers of fruit trees and the cover crops in the orchard provide for the bees. Flowers beautify the home grounds, provide honey for bees and give the mother and daughters outdoor eierc se, experience with plants and a love for the ethical and beautiful. The garden and the orchard teach very valuable lessons in Intensive cultivation. In the garden, the orchard and the flower beds one sees the advantages and opportunities for using •manure; application of fertilizer; mulching, intensive tillage; selection, training of plants and many other things that might not be observed in the field.
