BETTER FRUIT 



Propagating the Apricot 

 In propagating the apricot it will suc- 

 ceed on the apricot root only where the 

 soil is deep and with no indications of 

 a clay subsoil or hardpan. The apricot 

 may be planted on the peach root in a 

 .shallow soil or in a soil moderately 

 heavy and retentive of moisture. The 

 Myrobolan root is the only stock to use 

 if the soil is wet or subject to .seepage 

 in the spring.

Does Nitrogen make Fruit Buds? 



" It is very evident that the application 



of nitrogen has been a very decisive factor in both the 

 fortnation of the fruititig parts and the dcvclo[)meiit of 



bloom buds It is only where the nitrogen 



is added that any effect is noted " 



The above are the conclusions of Prof. C. C.Wiggans, 

 (Research Horticulturist, Delav^are Agr. Experi- 

 ment Station) as a result of experimental work 

 done at Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station. 



The following results were obtained by Prof. Wiggans. Trees 



were Rome Beauty budded on Paradise Stock. 



If you want fruit every year you must develop fruit buds by 

 supplying an abundance of nitrogen.
