three to five feet long from the buds the 

 same season, a fact that means a great 

 deal when in that way marketable trees 

 can be had the same season in which 

 they were budded and grown. 



Early summer budding of a different 

 kind is sometimes performed on apples 

 and many other kinds of fruit trees, 

 stocks being used that are two years old 

 from the time of their removal from the 

 seed bed. For this work dormant buds 

 are used, buds that have been removed 

 the previous winter and kept in as dor- 

 mant a condition as possible until the 

 time arrives when it is convenient to use 

 them. This method is favored by some 

 because it lengthens the budding season, 

 and because, in the case of top-working 

 trees, the buds start the same season in 

 whicli tlipy were set, saving a whole 

 season. R. R. 



SEEDLING APPLES OF MAINE. 



Bulletin 143 of the Maine Experiment 

 Station, "The Seedling Apples of 

 Maine, ' is just out. The purpose of 

 this bulletin is to call attention to those 

 varieties of Maine origin which are 

 worthy of wider dissemination; and to 

 record, as accurately as possible, the his- 

 tory of such varieties. 



While Baldwin, Greening, and other 

 standard varieties, mostly of New Eng- 

 land origin, will doubtless remain for 

 many years the leading market sorts, new 

 and valuable sorts are continually ap- 

 pearing, and these will be most likely to 

 excel near their native home, or in their 

 native state. The wholesale injury to 

 orchards by the cold of the past few 

 years is also an incentive to search out 

 the merits of native hardy varieties. 



Among the most valuable of the thirty- 

 eight native sorts mentioned in the bul- 

 letin, are Dcane, Dudley, I^ng Sweet, 

 Rolfe, Starkey and Stowe.
