tor for your other variety, but you could 

 hardly expect it would be worth while 

 as a producer of fruit. 



Mr. Barney : The placing of more 

 than one graft on a single tree was to 

 act as a saver of space. I can put grafts 

 on one tree and save a whole lot of space 

 in the planting; it seems that two dif- 

 ferent kinds that blended harmoniously 

 ought to be made to grow. 



Mr. Krome : If you could get two, 

 one of them in what Dr. Stout and Mr. 

 Savage called Class A and the other in 



Class B, and have them growing on one 

 stock or stem, and they were of equally 

 vigorous strength, you might have a 

 desirable combination. That has been 

 suggested and is being applied to consid- 

 erable extent in California, but I begun 

 trying that ten years ago myself, and out 

 of probably 75 or 80 instances of that 

 kind I think I have only 2 or 3 trees re- 

 maining where they are still different 

 varieties on the same stock, and even in 

 those cases one of them bears practically 

 no fruit.
