Strong two-year old trees of the following varieties were used : 

 Northern Spy. Ben Davis. Tolman. and Wealthy. Most of 

 these, except the Wealthy " fillers,'"' will eventually be top-

 progress will be made later. During the past season the orchard 

 betv\-een the trees was planted to corn, peas and potatoes. It is 

 designed to keep the greater part of the orchard under cultiva-
