in the locality referred to, an entire 

 block of seedlings may be lost on ac- 

 count of an invasion of woolly aphis. 



"Possibly in no other state outside of 

 California is there such a demand for 

 fruit trees grown on different roots. 

 In order to show our position clearly in 

 the matter, I want to mention briefly 

 the various varieties of fruit stocks 

 which are used in California. 



"The apple is the first one in the 

 category. To have a stock which will 

 be free from the woolly aphis is highly 

 desirable. It is a well known fact that 

 it is only a question of time after the 

 trees are planted in orchard form be- 

 fore this insect will be found in the 

 roots. The Northern Spy and Winter 

 Magetin roots are free from this at- 

 tack. Every encouragement should be 

 given to the development of these 

 roots on account of their resistance to 

 woolly aphis. The difficulty which the 

 nurseryman experiences in creating a 

 demand for trees grown on resistant 

 roots like this is to have the purchaser 

 of nursery stock appreciate the expense 

 incurred in the growing of trees and pay 

 the price for the years of labor and 

 extra cost incurred. 



"It is necessary in the first place to 

 have what are known as mother trees. 

 These trees are planted out in nursery 

 form and remain there for several 

 years. They are dug up in the winter 

 months and the roots are cut off to 

 stubs, when the trees are again planted 

 to develop a new crop of roots, which 

 takes several years. 



"The method of procedure in han- 

 dling these roots is to cut them up in 

 short pieces, just as is done when piece 

 root grafts are made, except that in this 

 case a Northern Spy scion is grafted 

 on a Northern Spy root. These grafted 

 roots are planted in beds and the fol- 

 lowing year they are planted in nurs- 

 ery rows and budded in the usual man- 

 ner during the summer months. 



Search for Pear Stock. 



"More advanced steps are probably 

 being taken on the Pacific coast than 

 in any other part of the United States 

 to find a pear stock which is immune 

 from the attack of pear blight. This 

 is one reason why the Japanese pear 

 stock has been in so much demand in 

 recent years. However, experience is 

 demonstrating that all Japanese pear 

 stocks are not entirely free from the 

 blight attack. 



"Among other stocks which are suit- 

 able for the pear, I might mention the 

 quince root. This is grown from cut- 

 tings and the pear is budded on. The 

 quince root is also used for growing 

 quince trees, being budded direct onto 

 the quince. In addition it serves as a 

 good stock for the loquat and several
