that extent. Root pruning at this time 

 would also help, but that is hardly prac- 

 tical in a large orchard, unless it is done by 

 deep plowing at that time of the year. 



About ten years ago a leading nursery- 

 man experimented by top grafting on the 

 Mazzard. This appeared to have reduced 

 the difficulty to some extent. The native 

 stock seem to be hardier than a stock of a 

 sweet variety and naturally, for the first 

 two years after top grafting, the flow of 

 cambium-making material over the graft 

 is slower than on trunks which are not top 

 worked, hence the tendency for earlier fall 

 cessation of growth. 



After cherry trees come into bearing 

 there is less injury from gummosis and in- 

 creasingly so as the trees grow older. The 

 nourishment derived from a vigorous 

 growth is transformed into fruit and the

Observe this study in contrasts. The apple at the 

 left was sprayed with Arsenate of Lead— a wonder- 

 fully good spray. But the user neglected to mix 

 "Spray Spread" with it. Below is a similar apple- 

 sprayed with the same kind of spray— but Albatross 

 Spray Spread was mixed with the spray. Note the 

 difference— the "lead" dried on the FIRST apple in 

 I spots or blotches. The 

 second apple received

 apple in a thin film.

Top-Dressing Talks 





Ammonia Makes Fruit Buds 



Ariadian Sulfhale of Ammonia applied about a week before blossom time 

 (100 to 150 pounds per acre) will invigorate the fruit buds and increase 

 the amount of fruit set. 



The failure of fruit to set and the early falling of fruit often is due 

 entirely to nitrogen starvation. In some sections an early application of 

 quickly-available nitrogen has increased the yields of fruit from four 

 to ten times. 



ARCADIAN 



Sulphate of Ammonia 



ArcaJum Sulfhate of Ammonia is guaranteed to contain 25j4% _<>f 

 ammonia (at least 1/3 more nitrogen than in any other top-dressmg 

 fertilizer). Arcadian is the only top-dressing ammoniate that is fine and 

 dry, all soluble, quick acting and non-leaching. It is low in price per unit 

 of actual plant food.
