 able for cross -pollination by wind and insects ; but if it is showery, 

 the pollinizers should be more abundant, in order that cross-pollina- 

 tion may be more general during the bright weather between show-

 row may be the pollinizer ; if using Bartlett, every other row. For

 be planted in a solid row. Theoretically, it is much better to have 

 the pollinizer more evenly distributed among the self-sterile trees ; 

 practically, it will not pay to so mix them except in small orchards.
