32 HINTS ON PROFITABLE FRUIT GROWING. 



If such seeds or stones could be got in quantity 

 (uncooked, of course), it might be worth while to sow 

 them between the young trees in the same rows, where 

 they are not likely to be disturbed. 



Pips of apples and pears can always be got from the 

 cider and perry districts, and fruit trees raised thus from 

 any seed on their own roots, are by some advocated as 

 preferable. 



In the Midland and Northern counties new varieties 

 of gooseberries have been raised for many years past in 

 this way, by artizans and others, by sowing the seed in 

 spring. It can be at first stored in dry sand when 

 cleaned, and most of our fruits may be thus improved 

 upon by raising new seedlings. 



For the purpose of grafting and budding, the young 

 "stock" or scions may be got by the hundred very 

 cheaply. It is necessary to know what sort of trained 

 trees will answer best, and " work " them accordingly.
