The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



Januaby 14, 1909. 



LENOX, MASS. 



The evening being an ideal one, on 

 Saturday, January 2, the members of the 

 Lenox Horticultural Society turned out 

 in full force to support the newly elected 

 oflScers, which argues well for the new 

 year. The meeting was full of interest 

 from start to finish. Allan Jenkins occu- 

 pied the chair. Arthur Heseaux and 

 James Dennie were elected active mem- 

 bers. Percy Ellings was unanimously 

 elected assistant secretary. 



It was voted to hold the society's an- 

 nual ball, which is always looked forward 

 to with much interest in Lenox and its 

 vicinity; also a dinner. The committee 

 for the former consisted of J. Clifford, 

 H. P. Wookey and W. Jack; for the 

 latter, E. Jenkins, A. H. Wingett, A. J. 

 Loveless, S. Carlquist and F. Herremans. 

 The dates are to be decided by the com- 

 mittees. 



The following question was asked and 

 created lively discussion: What is the 

 proper depth to lay drain tile? The 

 depth recommended by those present, for 

 average soils, was from three to four 

 feet, from thirty to forty feet apart, 

 though instances were mentioned where 

 drains laid to the depth of four feet, in 

 heavy clay soils, had failed to bring about 

 the desired result. From two and a half 

 to three feet, in heavy, tenacious soils, 

 had been found more satisfactory. It 

 must be taken for granted that the shal- 

 lower the drains are laid the closer they 

 should be together. For instance, drains 

 laid at the depth of four feet should be 

 eflfective for a distance of twenty feet on 

 either side; consequently forty feet apart 

 is considered the proper distance, while 

 drains laid at a depth of three feet or 

 less should be correspondingly closer to- 

 gether. 



Another question was: Is bleeding in- 

 jurious to vines or trees? The general 

 opinion was that bleeding, as it is under- 

 stood horticulturally, is not necessarily 

 dangerous to vines or trees in a thorough- 

 ly healthy condition, and while it is not 

 recommended to willfully prune vines or 

 trees at a time when they are apt to 

 bleed, numerous instances were cited 

 where maple and birch trees had bled 

 quite profusely and yet showed no signs 

 of material injury. 



Still another question was: Why are 

 standard fruit trees planted in preference 

 to pyramid or bushf The consensus of 

 opinion was that pyramid or bush trees 

 are preferable to standards in many 

 ways, chiefly because nearly three times 

 as many can be planted per acre, they are 

 much easier to prune and keep clean, can 

 be got into full bearing in less time and 

 produce better fruit, though they are not 

 so long-lived as standards.
