STOCK FOR WESTERN APPLES. 



W. M. Bomberger, Harlan, la., says 

 that the crab-apple used in that locality 

 for top-working apples on is not the 

 common Virginia crab, but a western 

 form in Iowa nurseries that is a fine, 

 strong grower. It starts in nursery rows 

 with a short piece of seedling root 

 grafted on scions, and it will root from 

 scions like willow, almost be on own 

 roots, and independent of the seedling 

 root if grafted right and handled right. 

 Mr. Bomberger says this crab root is 

 fine to stand severe western climatic con- 

 ditions and is a success up to St. Paul 

 and north. In Iowa Jonathan, York Im- 

 perial, "Winesap, Ben Davis, Gano and 

 Grimes all do well on it. The exceeding 

 vigor of growth and roots seems to help 

 the tops of the apple to develop better 

 fruit. The stronger growing power of 

 the roots gets more and better use of the 

 soil food for trees. 



In the winter Mr. Bomberger cuts bud 

 sticks from healthy bearing trees of the 

 kinds of apples he wants to top-work, 

 and puts the sticks in a buried box of 

 moist leaves, to remain until May 15, 

 and then buds the tops of the crab trees 

 and cuts back to buds. This he finds 

 easier than grafting and its attendant
