In addition, a list is given of numerous other papers on horticultural topics 

 published by the station. 



The origin of development of fruit buds | Wisconsin Sta. Rpt. 1903, pp. 360- 

 862). — This is a summary of the following article, previously published by the station: 

 The Origin of the Early Development of the Flowers in the Cherry, Plum, Apple, 

 and Pear, by E. S. Goff l E. S. P.. 12, p. 22; 13, p. 18). 



Fruit growing, with a selected list of varieties for New Hampshire, F. W. 

 Rane [New Hampshire Sta. Bui. 105, pp. 24, figs. 21). — Popular directions are given 

 in this bulletin for the growing of a number of orchard and small fruits. It is 

 believed that fruit should and can he much more largely grown throughout New 

 Hampshire than it is at the present time. Special attention is given to recommen- 

 dations of varieties of each of the different fruits. Lists of suitable varieties for 

 planting in the different parts of the State are given for plums, apples, peaches, 

 pears, grapes, cherries, quinces, blackberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, and 

 strawberries. 



The fruit garden, < r. Bunyard and < >. Thom vs I London: < buntry Life; New York: 

 Charles Scribner's Sons, 1904, )>p. X 111—507, pis. 9), figs. 62, dgms. 245). — Very com- 

 plete directions are given in this work for the culture of all the usual hardy and 

 house fruits grown in Great Britain. Special attention has been given to the matter 

 of pruning, and this phase of the subject is very fully illustrated. 



Besides cultural directions, descriptions are given of a large number of varieties of 

 each of the fruits discussed, and outline drawings made. Tomatoes and melons are 

 considered as well as the nursery propagation and management of trees and the con- 

 struction of fruit houses. Chapters are also given on fruit culture in America, 

 France, and the Channel Islands. That on America was written by II . E. Van 

 Deman, and is an outline survey of the whole field. 



Experiments in orchard management in New England, F. AV. Rane (New 

 Hampshire Sta. Bui. 110, pp. 85-106, figs. 6). — This bulletin discusses in a popular 

 manner methods of orchard culture and management in New England. One method 

 of renovating an old orchard which has been found successful at the station consists 

 in breaking up the soil in spring and, after thoroughly preparing it, planting to 

 dwarf peas or hush beans. By this method the ground is frequently cultivated, the 

 pods pay for the labor, and the crop is turned under early enough so that a cover 

 crop can he planted. 



It is believed that the Hitchings method of mulching the orchard by mowing and 

 letting the crop remain on the ground may possess some advantages for New Eng- 

 land. One instance is cited in which an orchard of about 10,000 trees is thus culti- 

 vated. Among other topics, methods of manuring, pruning, thinning, spraying, 

 picking, and winter protection ot orchards are discussed.
