Hopeful for Pears and Peaches.— That veteran of Northwestern 

 horticulture, F. K. Phoenix, Delavan, Wis , in a recent letter says: "Judging 

 by your great success with apples especially I believe you, and perhaps I too, 

 may live to see first-class pears and peaches home grown and comparatively 

 common in the Northwest. I write this now, that there is profit, health and 

 honest pride awaiting reasonable effort in that direction." 



The Seedi,ess Apple. — Judging by articles seen in "American Fruits" 

 and elsewhere, there seems to have been developed at last an apple that is 

 practically seedless; at least that is the claim of the originators, who are now 

 propagating this novelty and expect to have it ready to put upon the market 

 in the fall of 1905. Dr. F. R. Smith, secretary of the Grand Junction, Colo., 

 Fruit Growers' Association, says in reply to a query from "American Fruits:" 

 "It is a fact that such an apple has been produced and the claim made is that 

 they can propagate any variety of apple in the same way without seeds. I 

 have seen some of the apples. They claim they will have plenty of trees on 

 the market next spring." "American Fruits" in commenting upon this says: 

 "The revolutionary nature of the new apple is not alone confined to its seed- 

 less character. The resulting effects are even more far reaching. Chief of 

 these is the immunity of the new tree to frosts and cold weather. There is no 

 germinating power to be destroyed, and as a consequence there is not a 

 country too cold nor a season too backward where the seedling apple will not 

 grow and bear fruit." These are broad claims, the value of which remains to 

 be demonstrated.
