wants apple stocks, he has to go to 

 France for probably more than half the 

 number used in America and, what is 

 more, those he gets from France are so 

 much superior to those of domestic pro- 

 duction that he is glad to get them even 

 at a material advance in price over 

 stockB of domestic production. In the 

 same way, when a nurseryman wants 

 pear seeds, he goes to France or to the 

 orient for them and he imports seedling 

 stocks from France besides, as he does 

 of St. Julian and Myrobalan plum stocks 

 and Mazzard and Mahaleb cherry 

 stocks. In fact, he finds it so difficult 

 to g^ow cherry stocks that he is in- 

 clined to buy all that he uses in Europe. 



We simply have no domestic sources 

 of supply of these fruit tree stock seed- 

 lings. It is true that we are independ- 

 ent so far as peach production is con- 

 cerned, though our source of seed sup- 

 ply needs better safeguarding. Our na- 

 tive plums furnish a partial supply of 

 stocks for use in propagating plum trees, 

 but the total is not large. 



To propagators of citrus trees I should 

 admit that we can take care of the 

 citrus industry without aid from foreign 

 shores, though it remains to be proved 

 whether the orient may not contain 

 material for citrus stocks far superior 

 to anything now in use in this country.
